CNC milling is a machining process that uses computer control to manage the movement and operation of multi-point rotating cutting tools. As the tools rotate and traverse across the workpiece surface, they gradually remove excess material to achieve the desired shape and dimensions.
The CNC milling process can be divided into four distinct stages:
CAD Model Design: Engineers create 2D or 3D designs for the required parts
CAD Model Conversion to CNC Program: Designs are exported into compatible file formats and converted into machine instructions using CAM software
CNC Milling Machine Setup: Machine operators prepare the machine and workpiece
Milling Operation Execution: Machine operators initiate the machining program
The system used in CNC milling operations is called a CNC milling machine. Depending on their design and milling requirements, they can be configured with a moving workpiece and stationary rotating tool, a stationary workpiece and moving rotating tool, or a moving workpiece and rotating tool. Since CNC milling is typically employed as secondary machining or finishing for components, milling machines can create design elements such as planes, contours, grooves, slots, notches, holes, and cavities.
CNC milling processes diverse materials including metals, plastics, ceramics, and other engineered materials, enabling manufacturers to easily select materials meeting their precise requirements. This material flexibility benefits numerous industries, including but not limited to:
Electronics
Aerospace
Automotive
Commercial
Construction
CNC Equipment
