Overview of CNC Machining Processes

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining has transformed modern manufacturing with its precision and versatility. Below are several core types of CNC machining processes that are commonly used in both prototyping and production.

1. Milling

Milling uses rotary cutting tools to remove material from a solid workpiece. It’s highly effective for creating precise holes, slots, shapes, and contours in both metal and plastic.

2. Turning

Turning involves rotating the workpiece on a lathe while a stationary cutting tool removes material. It’s ideal for producing symmetrical cylindrical parts such as shafts, bushings, and rings.

3. Drilling

Drilling creates round holes in a workpiece using a rotating drill bit. It is often used in combination with other machining operations for complete part manufacturing.

4. Grinding

Grinding uses an abrasive wheel to remove material and refine surfaces. It delivers very tight tolerances and smooth finishes, especially for hardened metals.

5. EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)

EDM uses electrical discharges (sparks) to erode and shape conductive materials with extreme precision. It’s suitable for intricate or hard-to-machine features.

6. Laser Cutting

Laser cutting employs focused laser beams to melt or vaporize material. It is best for clean, detailed cuts in metals, plastics, and composites.

7. Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water, sometimes mixed with abrasive material, to cut through virtually any material with no heat distortion.
