Introduction to CNC Milling
CNC Milling (Computer Numerical Control) is a machining process controlled by a computer. It allows the production of highly precise components with complex shapes.
Advantages of CNC Milling
- High Precision: Accuracy up to 0.01mm
- Repeatability: Consistent production quality
- 3D Machining: Capability to handle three-dimensional designs
- Material Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials
- Process Automation: Reduced manual intervention and higher efficiency
Materials That Can Be Machined
- Metals (steel, aluminum, brass)
- Plastics
- Wood and composites
- Solid and sheet materials
Applications
CNC milling is widely used in precision engineering, automotive, aerospace, as well as in prototyping and mold making for injection molding.
