CNC machining is a manufacturing process that uses high speed, computer-controlled, precision machines to remove plastic or metal from a blank block of material to create a part. The process is highly repeatable, resulting in the same identical part each and every time.
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a manufacturing process that utilizes computer controlled cutting tools. CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process. The cutting tools remove material from a blank block, leaving only the desired part behind. It is the same principle as a sculptor revealing the statue hidden in a block of marble. The CNC machine is controlled by Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. Computer Aided Design (CAD) files are loaded into the CAM software. The CAD file acts as a set of directions, telling the CNC machine where and how to cut away material.
Can You Cut Metal with a CNC Machine?
Yes! CNC machines are mainly used to cut metal or plastic. CNC machining is ideal for manufacturing prototype parts and small part runs. There are several different types of CNC machines that can be used to cut metal. A CNC machining online quote is available through our instant online quoting system.
