CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining combines computerized controls with tools to shape materials into custom components, making it an exact manufacturing process. Machining begins with a digital design or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file that serves as a blueprint. Automated tools interpret the design and cut, drill, or mill to the specified dimensions and tolerances. Since a machine performs this operation, the results will always be consistent, automated, with faster cycles, and lower erroneous results. This makes CNC machining ideal for prototyping and mass production.
