A CNC mill is a milling machine that operates using computer numerical control (CNC) systems. The milling process is the process of removing material from a workpiece. CNC milling automates this process through computer-based control systems.
CNC milling is often used in machining various materials such as metal, wood, plastic. A CNC milling machine can machine material according to a predetermined design or programming. This design is typically created using 2D or 3D modeling software. This design is then loaded into the CNC milling machine and the machine performs cutting, drilling or shaping the material in a specific way.
The CNC milling process provides high precision and repeatability, making it easier to manufacture complex parts. Additionally, it optimizes production processes thanks to its ability to perform more complex and detailed operations without the need for manual intervention by operators. CNC milling is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, medical, defense industry and general machinery manufacturing.
