CNC Machining

CNC Machining

CNC machining produces parts by cutting raw material with automated machine tools.

CNC machining covers a range of processes, including turning, routing, milling, and lathing.
Milling, for example, is a process in which a rotating multi-edged tool
cuts a workpiece held in a fixed position.

Advantages

• No minimum order quantity (MOQ) required
• Precise holes and tapped features
•  Parts retain the properties of the bulk material

Disadvantages

• Geometries the cutting tool can’t reach are difficult to machine (undercuts)
• Complex designs can increase material waste and cost

Information Needed for CNC Machining

• 3D model file (STP, STEP)
• 2D drawing (DWG, DXF)
• Production quantity
