CNC machining processes involve the use of Computer Numerical Control technology to automate the operation of machine tools. This technology allows for precise cutting, shaping, and finishing of materials like metal, plastic, and wood. CNC machines interpret digital designs and execute them with high accuracy, making them essential in manufacturing industries.
Common CNC machining processes include milling, turning, and drilling. In milling, a rotating cutter removes material from a workpiece, while turning involves rotating the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool. Drilling creates holes in materials using a rotating drill bit. These processes enhance efficiency and consistency in production.
