CNC machining encompasses various machine configurations, but they all share a common
operating principle.
Specialized software translates a 3D model into a set of instructions, known as G-codes, which
guide the CNC machine in creating the desired part.
Once the machine is set in motion, it operates autonomously with minimal human involvement,
primarily limited to loading material, unloading the finished part, and, if necessary, adjusting the
workpiece's orientation or fixtures to access previously inaccessible areas.
Product Details
CNC machines excel at cutting a wide range of materials, including aluminum, bronze, copper,
ceramics, plywood, various steel types, stone, wood, zinc, and numerous engineering materials.
This versatility makes them perfect for crafting prototypes during product development.
With CNC milling, you can easily fine-tune and make precise adjustments until you achieve the
desired final product, offering accuracy and efficiency throughout the manufacturing process.
