What is CNC Routing?

CNC routing is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses a computer-controlled rotary cutting tool to cut, shape, and engrave a workpiece according to a programmed toolpath. The router follows digital design data to produce precise profiles, cutouts, pockets, slots, and other features.

CNC routing is particularly suitable for large or flat workpieces and materials that can be efficiently processed with high-speed rotary cutting tools.

How does CNC Routing work?

CNC routing creates parts by moving a rotating cutting tool along programmed paths to remove material from the workpiece. Here are the processes of CNC routing at 3DSPRO:

Process: Manufacturability check.
white_arrow_hollowImport the CAD file and review the part geometry.
white_arrow_hollowSelect the appropriate material and routing method.
white_arrow_hollowGenerate and optimize CNC toolpaths.
white_arrow_hollowSecure the workpiece on the CNC routing machine.
white_arrow_hollowCNC routing machine operating.
white_arrow_hollowRemove the routed part from the machine.
white_arrow_hollowPerform deburring, trimming, and other secondary operations if required.
white_arrow_hollowSurface finishing (optional).
white_arrow_hollowQuality inspection.
white_arrow_hollowPacking and shipping.

Pros and Cons of CNC Routing

cnc routing advantages
Pros

1. Suitable for large and flat workpieces.

2. Can efficiently produce profiles, cutouts, pockets, slots, and engraved features.

3. Supports a variety of plastics, wood-based materials, composites, and selected metals.

4. Provides fast material removal for relatively large parts.

5. Suitable for prototypes, custom parts, and production runs.

cnc routing disadvantages
Cons

1. Best suited to relatively flat parts and simpler three-dimensional geometries.

2. Deep cavities and complex undercuts may require other machining methods.

3. Tool access can limit certain internal features and geometries.

4. Material is removed during machining, which can result in material waste.

5. Very tight tolerances may require precision CNC milling instead.
