What is CNC Milling

Computer Numerical Control Milling, or CNC Milling for short, is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer numerical control (CNC) to operate cutting tools. A CNC machine program is a machine readable format of a computer aided design file that instructs these tools to remove material from a workpiece, usually a plastic or metal block to create the final product.

Milling can be carried out on a 3-axis or 5-axis machine, depending on the application. 3-axis machines are generally used for smaller, more intricate parts, while 5-axis machines are better suited for larger parts with more complex geometry.

CNC milling is a versatile process that can produce parts with a wide range of shapes and sizes. It is commonly used by companies in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries.

To optimizs your design for CNC milling, consider factors such as part geometry, material selection, and tolerances. It is also helpful to consult with a CNC milling expert, who can provide valuable insights and suggestions to improve the manufacturability of your design while maintaining the desired functionality and quality.

CNC milling uses a rotating cutting tool that moves across a stationary workpiece to create parts with a variety of shapes and features, while CNC turning involves rotating the workpiece while a cutting tool moves along its surface, primarily producing cylindrical parts. Both processes can achieve high precision and accuracy.

CNC milling services are used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, oil & gas, renewable energy, and architectural sectors. Its versatility and precision make it suitable for producing parts ranging from simple to complex components with tight tolerances and complex geometries.

CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines to remove material from a workpiece, creating precise parts and components with various shapes and features. This is achieved by moving a rotating cutting tool across the stationary workpiece in multiple axes.

In 3-axis CNC milling, the cutting tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes, allowing for basic part geometries. 5-axis CNC milling adds two additional rotational axes, enabling the cutting tool to access the workpiece from multiple angles, allowing for the production of more complex parts with greater precision and reduced setup times.

Lead times for CNC milling projects can vary depending on factors such as part complexity, material availability, and production volume. However, typical lead times can range from a few days for simple, low-volume projects to several weeks for more complex, high-volume orders.
