Frequently Asked Questions
CNC milling (Computer Numerical Control Machining) is a machining process which utilizes computerized controls and cutting tools to remove material from the workpiece, producing a specific product or part. This process is suitable for machining a wide range of materials such as metals, plastics, and composites, producing an almost unlimited variety of custom-designed parts and pieces.
CNC turning is as a machining process where bars of metal are rotated while a stationary tool is used to remove excess material until the desired shape is reached.
Mill Turn machining combines the functions of lathes and mills into one hybrid work center. The combination of sub spindles, multiple turrets, and milling tools enables these work centers to produce highly complex parts, often in a single operation.
3 axis machining involves a workpiece in a fixed position while the cutting tool operates along the X, Y, Z axis to cut away material. 3-axis machining is most suitable for parts that do not require compound angles or complex surfaces.
4-axis machining has the same functions as the 3-axis machining centers but with an added 4th axis that allows for rotation about the X-axis. This added feature on a vertical and horizontal mill allows for more complex shapes and sets of features which minimizes the number of individual set ups. The addition of a 4th axis allows us the ability to run high quantities of complex parts in a single cycle.
5-Axis machining centers significantly increase the range of possibilities by utilizing 3+2 machining as well as fully continuous 5 axis machining. 3+2 machining can produce highly complex parts by rotating the workpiece to any compound angle in relation to the cutting tool. Continuous 5 axis machining can produce not only planer and compound feature sets, but highly complex 3d shapes. This can give designers a huge level of flexibility when designing components destined for a CNC mill.
Prototype machining is a process in which smaller quantities of parts are produced. It could be that only a small amount of parts are required, or that a customer would like to prove out the production process before commitment to higher quantities. Prototype machining can provide an opportunity to validate form, fit and function.
