CNC Milling is the most common and popular machine in CNC manufacturing. CNC Milling machines utilize rotary cutters to remove material from a part mounted on the machine bed. There are different types of CNC Milling systems, the most common type is 3-axis CNC machine. 3-aixs means the system has 3 linear degrees (the X, Y, Z axes) to produce parts. While the advanced one is 5-axis CNC machine, which owns 5 degrees of machining freedom and is suitable for creating parts with highly complex geometric geometries. Besides, 5-aixs CNC Machining is ideal for simplifying manufacturing steps.

1. Like 3D Printing needs slicer software to covert the STL file so that 3D printers can read and understand each layer data of the model, the first step for CNC Milling is to convert the CAD file into a language that the machine can work with, that’s G-code.
2. The operator will place the material that is cut to a specific size on the machine bed. Normally, the piece of the material is always called the blank or workpiece. Then it is time to mount the workpiece on the machined bed or by a vice.
3. As the computer controls the CNC cutting tools to move to the pre-set coordinates, so precise positioning and alignment of the workpiece is significant to manufacture high-accuracy parts. Special metrology tools, probes, for instance, are ideal solutions for this step.
4. Then, the workpiece is ready for machining. The machine uses professional cutting tools and rotating the at high speeds to remove material from the workpiece. However, at the very first steps, the machine removes at a relatively low speed and accuracy to gain an approximate geometry.
* Sometimes, the model is not being to achieve full features by single setup from the cutting tools, to flip the workpiece is necessary.
Below is available surface finishing for CNC Milled parts.
| Finishes Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
As machined | Standard surface finish from machine directly, variables in relation to different machines. |
 |
Polishing | Process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment. |
 |
Sandblasting | Add uniform matte or satin surface finish against designated metal part and remove tool marks. |
 |
Plating | A surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface. It is used to enhance surface properties in multiple purposes. |
 |
Coloring | Change the color of the workpiece by spray painting, baking finishing, etc. |
 |
Laser Etching | The practice of using lasers to engrave the workpiece. |
 |
Heat Treatment | Using heating and cooling to immensely improve key physical properties of metal. |
 |
Screen Printing | Process of transferring a stencilled design onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee. |
 |
Anodizing | Anodizing is an electrolytic oxidation process by coating the metal with a corrosion-resistant coating. |
We follow ISO 2768 standards for CNC Machining.
