In traditional machining, a skilled machinist manually operates a machine to remove or shape
metal based on specifications provided by designers and engineers, typically conveyed through
an engineering drawing or blueprint.
This process involves the use of turn wheels, dials, switches, chucks, vices, and various cutting
tools made of materials such as hardened steel, carbide, and industrial diamond.
Measurement instruments are then utilized to ensure the accuracy of all dimensions.
In contrast to this manual approach, CNC machining performs the same metal cutting, drilling,
milling, boring, grinding, and other metal forming and removal functions, but it relies on computer
numerical control instead of manual operation by a machinist.
It is automated, driven by code, and developed by programmers, offering precision consistently
from the first cut to the 500th. While traditional machining still has a place, CNC machining,
prevalent in digital manufacturing and low-volume production, allows for easy revisions and
alterations for modifications and different materials.
Product Details
CNC milling machines are capable of cutting a wide range of materials, including aluminum,
bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood, various steel alloys, stone, wood, zinc, and various
engineering materials.
This versatility makes them an excellent choice for crafting prototypes during product development.
Furthermore, CNC milling allows for precise and rapid adjustments until the desired final product
is achieved.
