Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

A CNC milling machine is a type of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine that uses computer-programmed instructions to control a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a stationary workpiece. It shapes materials like metal, wood, plastic, or composites into precise parts or components by cutting, drilling, or milling.

What It Does:

Milling: Removes material to create flat surfaces, slots, pockets, or contours.

Drilling: Creates precise holes in the workpiece.

Tapping: Cuts internal threads for screws or bolts.

Slotting and Grooving: Forms channels or recesses.

Engraving: Adds detailed designs or markings.

Complex Shaping: Produces intricate 3D shapes, especially with multi-axis machines.

Advantages:

High precision and repeatability for complex shapes.

Versatile for flat, curved, or intricate surfaces.

Automates tasks, reducing manual labor and errors.

Multi-axis models handle complex parts in a single setup.

Limitations:

Higher cost than manual milling machines.

Requires skilled programming (e.g., G-code or CAM software).

Slower for large material removal compared to other processes like turning.
