Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a versatile, high-precision traditional manufacturing process that’s ideal for medium to high-volume production runs of complex parts. CNC machining is a manufacturing technique for removing material. It uses sharp cutting tools, available in a var...
What are CNC Machines and how do they work? These machines are called CNC because they are Computer Numerically Controlled machines and are nowadays used in almost every single industry. The development of the first CNC machine dates back to 1951 in the United States and by 1969 CNC machines were al...
The benefits of 5 axis machining may not be obvious to non-experts. After all, your CNC machined parts are three-dimensional, not five-dimensional, right? Intuitively, you might think that a 3 axis CNC machine should be capable of handling most machining jobs.
In actual fact, 5 axis...
