Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining is a
manufacturing process that uses pre-programmed computer
software to manipulate a base material into useful parts and
products. CNC machines rely on computer code to control a wide variety of machining tools, including grinders, lathes, drills, boring tools and more. You start the process by creating a 2D or 3D CAD drawing before translating this into computer code to be inputted into the CNC system. Known as G-code, these instructions tell the machine how to move, where to cut and how fast to go. Unlike additive manufacturing techniques like 3D printing, CNC machining is a subtractive process. This involves trimming or cutting away at a base material to an exact specification. CNC machining is particularly important in metal and plastic manufacturing processes, but it can also be used on other base materials like wood and ceramic. Videos Additional info |
