What Is CNC?

CNC machining (Computer Numerical Control) is a subtractive manufacturing process, which removes materials from various size of raw plastic or metal block materials with all kinds of cutting tools to achieve a product. Choosing suitable machine (3 axis, 4 axis or 5 axis, lathe, milling machine or boring machine etc.) and technique (milling, turning, EDM, wire EDM etc.) after evaluating your design. According to your CAD model, engineers and machinists program for data from advanced software in machine to meet your specifications.
