CNC Machining Processes
CNC machining encompasses various subtractive manufacturing processes such as CNC milling, CNC turning, CNC drilling, pocketing, and facing.
- CNC Milling: The most popular method for cutting aluminum, where a multi-point cutting tool rotates along the workpiece axis for precision.
- CNC Turning: Material bars are held and rotated while a tool removes material to achieve the desired design.
- CNC Drilling: A multi-point rotating tool creates holes in the workpiece by moving perpendicular to its surface.
- Pocketing: A type of CNC milling that creates hollow pockets in parts.
- Facing: A process where face turning or milling creates flat cross-sectional areas on a workpiece.
These CNC machining processes offer precise, high-quality aluminum parts for various applications.
