CNC Milling
CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machinery to precisely cut and shape materials into detailed components. By removing material from a solid block, CNC milling produces parts with exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
Process Overview
CNC milling begins with a solid block of material (metal, plastic, etc.), which is precisely cut and shaped by a computer-controlled machine using rotating cutting tools. This process creates parts with high precision and complex geometries.
