What is CNC Machining?

CNC machining (Computer Numerical Controlled machining) designates a process that uses a computer to control the trajectory of the machining tool. It employs many machining techniques, such as milling, drilling, and cutting. Even 3D printing is a CNC machine.

The most common CNC machines can control the movement of the tool in 3 axes, hence the name 3-axis machining. In addition to controlling the tool, some CNC machines also control the workpiece by rotating it around its axis (4-Axis machine) or two axes (5-axis machine).

What are the advantages of CNC machining?

CNC machining offers more advantages over traditional machining methods:
   •   More accuracy: CNC machining offers tight tolerances, around ±0.0002mm
   •   Consistency: Since a computer executes the process, it minimizes human error.
   •   Faster fabrication: The fabrication process time is cut short because of the use of a computer to control the process.
   •   Lower production costs : The production cost is reduced because the operator has fewer interventions for controlling the tool’s trajectory and changes.
   •   Safer : The CNC machine has no access to the workpiece and tools when cutting the part.
