CNC stands for “Computer Numerical Control”. It is a type of machining process that uses computer-controlled tools to shape or cut materials into the desired shape. The tools used in CNC machining are usually powered by electricity, and they can be programmed to produce a wide range of shapes and sizes. The process is fast, accurate, and cost-effective.
How Does CNC Machining Work?
CNC machining works by using computer software to control the cutting tool. The cutting tool is connected to a machine that moves it around in three dimensions X, Y, Z. This allows for precise control over the size and shape of the material being cut or shaped. The software also controls how deep the cut should be made and how quickly it should move across the material’s surface. This ensures accuracy while making sure that no mistakes are made during production.
Benefits of CNC Machining
CNC machining offers many benefits compared to traditional manual methods such as increased speed, accuracy, repeatability, productivity and cost savings. Additionally, because it requires less labor than manual processes there is often less waste produced which helps reduce costs further still as well as making sure products are produced with greater precision every time they are manufactured.
