CNC Process
CNC milling is a specialized process within precision CNC machining. It involves the use of a cutting tool that moves into the workpiece at different angles to remove material. This movement is precisely controlled by computer instructions, enabling exceptional precision and consistency. CNC milling machines are highly versatile and capable of creating intricate shapes and designs with great accuracy. They are widely utilized across industries to manufacture a diverse range of components, prototypes, and custom parts.
CNC Turning
CNC turning is a unique method within precision machining that involves removing material from a rotating workpiece using a cutting tool. The precise movement of the machinery is controlled by computer instructions, ensuring exceptional accuracy and consistency.
Unlike CNC milling, where the cutting tool rotates and approaches the stationary workpiece from different angles, CNC turning revolves around rotating the workpiece itself in a chuck. This rotational motion enables the creation of round or tubular shapes with precise and smooth curved surfaces, surpassing the capabilities of CNC milling or other machining processes.
Similar to CNC milling, CNC turning is utilized for both rapid prototyping and the production of end-use parts, offering efficient and accurate manufacturing solutions.

- Standard tolerance: +/- 0.005 inches
- Minimum tolerance for metal: +/- 0.002 inches
- Minimum tolerance for plastic: +/- 0.003 inches
Hole diameter:
- Standard tolerance: +/- 0.005 inches
- Minimum tolerance for metal: +/- 0.001 inches
- Minimum tolerance for plastic: +/- 0.002 inches
Flatness, Run Out, Cylindricity, Perpendicularity, and other Geometry:

Advantages of CNC Machining for Rapid Prototyping
CNC machining is a technology that utilizes computers and compatible software throughout the entire machining process. Program the machining path and production process before actual manufacturing to ensure ideal results are achieved. The following characteristics of this technology make it a suitable choice for rapid prototyping
Rapid Production
CNC machining is a fast and automated process that complements rapid prototyping. It allows for simultaneous and effortless production of multiple prototypes. Additionally, CNC machining offers flexible tooling, enabling easy tool changes during production without interruptions. This versatility allows for the use of different tools to meet diverse machining needs.
Flexible Tooling
CNC machining provides flexible tools. Tools can be replaced within the production cycle without interrupting or stopping production. CNC machining can use different tools such as single point cutting tools, drilling tools, tapping tools, milling tools, etc
Minimum tolerance
CNC machining is a precision machining process. It can achieve the minimum tolerance. Therefore, by using this process, the expected dimensional accuracy can be easily achieved. In addition, CNC manufactured components typically do not require surface treatments such as polishing, so dimensional accuracy remains unchanged
Modification scope
The CNC production cycle can be modified according to the design. Different techniques can be used to create a feature. For example, grooves can be formed by using grooving or deep cutting. CNC machining provides flexibility in selecting machining processes during the programming process.
Various materials
CNC machining can be used to process various materials, including various plastics and metals. This makes it an ideal choice for cross industry rapid prototyping design
Traditional machining is typically manual and requires human operators to control the machining tools. In contrast, CNC machining is automated, with computer programs controlling the machine’s movements. CNC machining offers higher precision, faster production times, and greater design flexibility compared to traditional methods.
Commonly used file formats for CNC machining include STEP, IGES, DXF, and STL. These formats contain the 3D CAD model or 2D vector data that guides the CNC machine in producing the desired part.
Tolerances refer to the allowable deviation from the desired dimensions of a part. The achievable tolerances in CNC machining depend on various factors, including the material, geometry, and machine capabilities. Generally, tolerances ranging from +/- 0.001″ to 0.005″ (or +/- 0.025mm to 0.127mm) are achievable with CNC machining.
CNC machining is versatile and can be used for both prototyping and production. It is particularly useful for prototyping due to its ability to produce high-quality parts quickly. For production runs, CNC machining offers cost-effective and efficient manufacturing processes, especially for small to medium batch sizes.
The time required for CNC machining depends on factors such as part complexity, material, quantity, and machine availability. Simple parts may be completed in hours, while more complex or larger production runs may take several days or weeks. Rapid prototyping services can often deliver parts within 1-5 days.
