CNC Machining

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining uses programmed computer commands to control machine tools that cut and shape material precisely.

It is the foundation of modern automated, high-precision manufacturing.

Working and Programming

A CAD model is converted into machine instructions called G-code, which directs the movement of cutting tools along multiple axes. The CNC controller executes these instructions automatically, producing identical parts with high repeatability.

Common CNC machines include milling machines, lathes, routers and laser cutters, with multi-axis machines enabling complex 3D shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

CNC machining uses computer-programmed instructions to automatically control machine tools that cut and shape materials with high precision.

G-code is the programming language that tells a CNC machine how to move its tools, including position, speed, and feed rate.

It offers high precision, repeatability, automation, complex geometry capability, and consistent quality across mass production.
