  • Key Features of CNC Milling

Process: A CNC milling machine uses computer-controlled rotating cutting tools (e.g., end mills, drills) to remove material from a solid block (workpiece) of metal, plastic, or other materials. The machine follows a digital design (CAD file) converted into instructions (G-code) to shape the part

Capabilities:

Precision: Achieves tight tolerances (e.g., ±0.01 mm), ideal for complex geometries.

Versatility: Works with materials like aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, brass, ABS, and composites.

Features: Can create slots, holes, threads, pockets, contours, and 3D surfaces.

Scalability: Suitable for prototyping, low-volume, and high-volume production.

Types of CNC Milling:

3-Axis Milling: Moves in X, Y, and Z axes for basic shapes and flat surfaces.

4-Axis Milling: Adds rotation around one axis (e.g., A-axis) for more complex parts.

5-Axis Milling: Rotates around two additional axes (e.g., A and B) for intricate, multi-angle designs.

Applications:

Prototyping: Creates functional prototypes for testing (e.g., medical devices).

Production Parts: Manufactures components like engine parts, brackets, or enclosures.

Custom Parts: Produces one-off or specialized parts for robotics or aerospace.
