Computerized numerical control (CNC) is a manufacturing process that utilizes pre-programmed software to control the movement of production equipment. From the medical field to the aerospace industry, many different industries use CNC software and related machinery to accurately and efficiently create vital components. As technology advances, CNC systems and the machines they control also advance […]
Every industry experiences regular technological advances, and that’s particularly true in the computerized numerical control (CNC) manufacturing world. Today, making precision machine and auto components is relatively easy thanks to 5- and 9-axis machining equipment. Multi-axis machining centers are capable of performing precise milling maneuvers without the hassle of making multiple setup adjustments for the […]
Due to the nature of the material, plastic machining is more of a tenuous process than metal machining. Plastic is usually a softer material and is more prone to bending, cracking, warping and losing its structural integrity than most metals. Despite that, computer numerical control (CNC) plastic machining can still be performed safely and capably […]
Innovations in the field of manufacturing have made its various processes much more efficient. The integration of computers and more complex machines has revolutionized machining and manufacturing. Previously machines typically only worked on three axes. But the rise of multi-axis machining has led to machines that can cut, sculpt and shape medal on anywhere from […]
What should you consider as you calculate machining costs? Several factors play important roles in this process. As you input variables in a CNC cost calculator, be sure to factor in the following aspects of your project. Machining Your project may involve the use of one or more machines. Because some machines are more complex […]
