CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled cutting tools to remove material from a solid workpiece and create the desired shape. The cutting tool rotates at high speed and moves along programmed toolpaths based on a digital CAD model.
CNC milling can produce flat surfaces, pockets, slots, holes, contours, threads, and complex three-dimensional features.
It is widely used for manufacturing prototypes, functional components, tooling, fixtures, and production parts in both metals and engineering plastics.
CNC milling creates parts by removing material from a workpiece according to programmed toolpaths. Here are the processes of CNC milling at 3DSPRO:
Import the CAD file and review part geometry.
Select the appropriate material and machining method.
Generate and optimize CNC toolpaths.
Secure the workpiece on the CNC milling machine.
CNC milling machine operating.
Remove the machined part from the machine.
Perform deburring and other secondary operations if required.
Surface finishing (optional).
Quality inspection.
Packing and shipping.
1. Produces parts with high dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
2. Can manufacture complex geometries, pockets, holes, slots, and contoured surfaces.
3. Supports a wide range of metals and engineering plastics.
4. Suitable for both rapid prototypes and production parts.
5. Provides excellent control over critical dimensions and functional features.
1. Material is removed from a solid workpiece, which can result in material waste.
2. Machining costs can increase for highly complex geometries or parts requiring extensive toolpaths.
3. Certain internal features and undercuts may require specialized tooling or multi-axis machining.
4. Small features and deep cavities can increase machining time.
