CNC turning, also known as computerized numerical control is a modern process of making parts by using machine tools. CNC turning is done through the use of numerical commands to cut or create objects. As the name implies, it is a kind of turning that uses computers as its major controlling mechanism. CNC turning has gained much popularity over the years and in most industries, this method is now being incorporated with that type being responsible for the production of prototypes and small batch products
The process of CNC turning involves three main steps: designing, machining and finishing. Designing involves creating a CAD file for the product which will be turned out by machine tools. Machining involves using various machines such as lathes or milling machines to produce the appropriate material required by design. Finishing refers to producing the finished product from machined materials using CNC turning machines.
