Milling is a process where a milling tool cuts away the material in a rotary motion. As with drilling, this is possible with a wide array of different tools with different diameters and different hardness's. Because the mill is moving, the rotational speed must be high in order to get a clean finish of the milled hole.
CNC mills or CNC milling machines produce parts of nearly any shape from soft metals like aluminum, harder metals like steel, and plastics such as acetal.
Kesu Hardware Group offers cost-effective milling service whether you need a single part, batch of prototypes, or full production order.
Advantages of CNC Milling
CNC milling has a number of advantages over other manufacturing processes.
Can produce quality parts of almost any shape or form
Cost-effective machining for prototyping and short runs
High dimensional tolerances are possible
Smooth finishes can be achieved
Can produce identical parts repeatedly
Milling machines can operate at high speeds, producing parts quickly.
A single machine can produce a wide variety of part shapes and sizes
Milling can be applied to many materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
CNC machines can be programmed using computer-aided design (CAD) software, which makes it easy to create and change designs.
Design Consideration for Milling
When designing parts to be CNC milled, there are several tips to keep in mind:
CNC milling machines are capable of precision so try to use this to your advantage
Avoid deep pockets which are difficult to machine
Sharp inside corners are often difficult so consider using a radius
Apply chamfers to top edges to reduce sharpness and improve appearance.
Apply filters to the bottom of pockets to reduce the possibility of stress fractures if the component will be under stress.
Thin walls and other flimsy shapes can be difficult to machine as they may not hold up against the pressure of the cutting action.
Try to create shapes that do not have complex curves in more than one axis – as it may be difficult to hold during machining.
