What is CNC Milling?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling is a precision machining process used to create complex shapes and components from various materials, including plastics. It’s a subtractive process meaning material is removed with a variety of computer-controlled rotary cutters, following a precise pre-programmed design.
This process ensures exceptional accuracy and repeatability and allows us to produce intricate parts with tight tolerances from a range of plastic materials. CNC milling involves several steps, including CAD (Computer-Aided Design) modelling, CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) programming, and the actual milling operation, where the CNC machine executes the programmed instructions to produce the final part.
