What is CNC Milling

CNC turning is a process that CNC milling is a manufacturing process that involves the use of computer numerical control (CNC) technology uses precise instructions to control the movement of a milling machine. In this process, a cutter removes material from a work-piece to create a desired shape or finish.
CNC milling is commonly used in the manufacturing of parts for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing.

How Does CNC Milling Work

The CNC Milling machine is programmed with a specific design software. This program includes instructions on the size and shape of the final product, as well as the cutting paths and tooling to be used.

As staring, the work-piece material is securely clamped onto the machine’s work-table. The cutting tool is then precisely positioned and moved according to the program instructions, cutting and shaping the material as needed.

The CNC machine is able to make precise, accurate cuts and shapes with high repeatability, making it ideal for producing complex parts and designs. The process can be repeated multiple times to produce multiple identical parts.

CNC milling offers a high level of precision and efficiency in the production of components for many industries
