CNC Milling is a manufacturing process that uses computer numerical control (CNC) to machine or shape parts. With this technology, the path of the cutting tool alone determines where material is removed from the workpiece
CNC Milling machines are dedicated machines that are used to cut metal parts, typically on a larger scale than hand milling equipment. They are an advanced version of CNC machining and are used in applications where accuracy and repeatability are critical
The process starts with a CAD model of the part being produced. This can be done by a 3-D printer, or created by an engineer or designer who has experience creating these types of models using CAD software and a computer-aided design (CAD) program like SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER. The model is then sent to a CNC milling machine for processing into its finished form using computer numerically controlled tools that follow programmed paths designed by designers or engineers who have used software like these mentioned above.
