Accelerate your product development with our advanced 3, 3+2, and 5-axis CNC milling centers. From rapid prototypes to high-volume production, we deliver tight tolerances, complex geometries, and superior surface finishes.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling is a highly precise subtractive manufacturing process. It utilizes computerized controls and rotating multi-point cutting tools to progressively remove material from a solid workpiece to produce a custom-designed part.
Unlike turning where the workpiece spins, in milling, the material remains stationary while the high-speed cutting tool moves across multiple axes (typically 3, 4, or 5 axes). This allows for the creation of complex geometries, slots, and detailed surface finishes.
Review the recommended and technically feasible values for the most common features encountered in CNC machined parts to optimize your design for manufacturability (DFM).
