Milling Parts

What Is CNC Milling

CNC milling is cutting solid plastic or metal material into final precision parts using different axis milling processes. Unlike CNC lathes, CNC mills remove material from the workpiece by rotating and moving a cutting tool, such as a milling cutter, and position the workpiece properly, to create a finished or semi-finished shape.

The multi-axis milling machines realize a versatile, accurate, and repeatable CNC milling process for the production of different features and complex geometries. Take channels, holes, curves, and corners for some examples. Milling can be also used as a perfect way of making tooling for die casting and injection molding.

How Does it Work

The first step is using CAD software to design a part with desired geometry. Then you can submit your 3D CAD files online and get an instant quote for free. Upon all details having been checked and determined, your digital design will be put into production immediately.

1. Design a 3D CAD model

2. Convert the CAD model into the CNC machine program

3. Start the machining process through the interface or control panel

4. Remove block material from the workpiece to get desired shapes

5. Conduct the CNC milling operation with high precision

Different Types of CNC Mills

Generally, the type of CNC mills is defined according to their number of axes. With more axes, the ability to manufacture complex parts and create cutting angles is enhanced and strengthened.

3-axis CNC milling machines

the cutting tools can travel along the X, Y, and Z axes.

4-axis CNC milling machines

similar to a lathe, add an extra degree of movement by rotating on a vertical axis, allowing to make more complex parts.

5-axis CNC milling machines

the most complete mill, incorporate two extra degrees of movement by adding rotation to the worktable and spindle. Components are processed in a single setup without being moved through several workstations.
