I'm sure you've heard about CNC, but it might mean different things to different people. And if you think about it, there are many trade names for CNC services. Sheet plastic is one. Let's take a look at what's involved in using this method of cutting parts out of material
CNC stands for Computer Numerically Controlled, which means that the computer sends a signal to a machine that does the cutting. The computer also controls the speed and direction of the tool so it can cut precisely where you want it to go
There are several different types of CNC machines, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type is called a direct-drive machine because it uses an electric motor to drive the cutting tool forward or backward at high speeds (we'll talk about speed later). There are also hybrid machines that use both direct and indirect drives. These machines can cut faster than direct-drive machines, but they tend to be more expensive because they require more parts and have more moving parts inside them
The next step after acquiring your CNC machine is finding someone who can help you get started with software so you can design parts on your computer before they are actually cut out of sheet plastic!
