The Complete Guide to CNC Machining for Precision Parts

What is CNC Machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computerized controls to operate and manipulate machine tools.

3-Axis Milling

The workpiece remains fixed while the cutting tool moves along X, Y, and Z axes. Ideal for prismatic parts.

5-Axis Milling

Adds rotational movement for complex geometries and angled features.

Material Options

  • Aluminum (6061, 7075)
  • Stainless Steel (304, 316)
  • Titanium
  • Engineering Plastics (PEEK, Delrin)
