What Is CNC Machining?
CNC machining is a highly versatile manufacturing process used to create exact components from materials such as acrylics, metals, plastics, and wood.
This subtractive process involves cutting away material from a solid workpiece using computer-controlled machinery, ensuring exceptional accuracy and detail.
Thanks to its precision and efficiency, CNC machining is widely used across many vital industries.
The Two Types Of CNC Machining
The two primary CNC machining methods are CNC Turning and CNC Milling:
CNC Turning:
This method involves a rotating CNC lathe that holds the workpiece while a cutting tool gradually removes material to achieve the desired cylindrical or conical shape. It’s the go-to choice for manufacturing the precise, cylindrical components used in various applications.
CNC Milling:
Ideal for mass production, this process uses a rotating cutting tool that carves away material from a fixed workpiece. With the ability to move along multiple axes, CNC milling can create intricate features such as holes, slots, and complex contours with high precision.
Both CNC milling and turning offer exceptional accuracy, making them essential techniques in modern manufacturing.
The Advantages Of CNC Machining
CNC machining offers precision, reliability, and versatility, making it a go-to manufacturing method across industries. Here’s why it stands out:
Perfect For Complex Designs:
With its ability to move along multiple axes, CNC machining can produce intricate, highly detailed components that other methods simply can’t match.
Incredible Accuracy:
Unlike plastic injection moulding or 3D printing, CNC machining delivers unrivalled precision, ensuring every part is made to exact specifications. This is especially important for prototyping and mass production.
Works With A Variety Of Plastics:
CNC machining is compatible with many plastic polymers, including Teflon (PTFE), Delrin (POM), Acrylic, Nylon, UHMW, and Polyether (PEEK) – making it ideal for plastic product manufacturing.
Tight Tolerances:
CNC machining can achieve tolerances far beyond what injection moulding or 3D printing can offer, guaranteeing a high level of precision.
Fewer Defects, Better Quality:
With CNC machining, the level of precision leads to fewer defects and a higher level of consistency and quality.
Ultimate Flexibility:
Whether you need simple or complex parts, CNC machining can handle a wide range of shapes and designs, making it one of the most versatile manufacturing methods available.
Less Waste, More Savings:
Precision cutting means less material waste, helping manufacturers save on costs while being more environmentally friendly.
