CNC Milling

Introduction  |  Process  |  Advantages  |  Materials  |  Costs  |  Limitations


  • During CNC milling the computer translates the design into instructions on how the drill needs to move to create the shape. 


  • Typically, the drill can move up down, or tilt at an angle, and the table moves the part laterally. 


  • For complex parts, the part may need to be rotated at some point in the milling process. 


  • Because the process is run by a computer, high resolutions, and greater throughput are possible.
