What is CNC machining?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process where pre-programmed computer software controls the movement of factory tools and machinery. The process is used to create precise, repeatable parts by removing material from a solid block using cutting tools. CNC machining is widely used for producing high-precision metal and plastic parts.
What can CNC machining be used for?
CNC machining is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Custom metal and plastic parts
- Prototypes and one-off components
- Low-volume production runs
- Brackets, housings and enclosures
- Engine and mechanical components
- Architectural and decorative metalwork
- Replacement parts and repairs
- Jigs and fixtures
Common CNC machining materials
CNC machining can work with a wide range of materials, including:
- Aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Steel and stainless steel
- Brass and copper
- Engineering plastics (acetal, nylon, PTFE)
- Acrylic and other polymers
- Wood and composite materials
