What is CNC Milling?
CNC Milling (or Computer Numerical Controlling Milling to give it its full title) is a process that uses computer controls and rotating cutting tools to produce a bespoke precision engineered part or item. It is more commonly associated with materials like metal, plastic and wood.
The process involves using these computerised controls to operate machining tools that shape and cut material according to precise specifications to create bespoke precision engineered products. It is an extremely popular method due to the detailed size and shapes it can create.
The machine receives its instructions from a design inputted via a CAD program. It is then set up with the right tools and the material is secured in place. Finally, the tools spin at thousands of RPM and move along with the workpiece to access different parts of the design.
