What Is CNC Machining
CNC which stands for “computer numerical
control”, it is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computerized
machines and controls to remove layers of material from a block material. At TEAM Rapid, CNC machining process is suitable for a wide range of materials
which include metal, plastic, glass, foam, composite, wood etc. Our CNC
machining allows to producing parts with high precision and accuracy. CNC
machining enables to manufacture small and medium volume quantity
cost-effectively. If you need help on your CNC machining projects, contact us

CNC machining process begins with 2D or 3D
design. CAD allows manufacturers to create a model of parts with technical
specifications like dimensions and geometries. CNC machined parts design has limitation
because of the CNC machine and tooling’s capabilities. Part geometries are
limited because the tooling creates curved corner sections. Design
possibilities like minimum part thickness, maximum parts size and complexity of
internal cavities and features are also restricted by materials, tooling design
and machine holding ability.
CNC Machining is suitable for a wide range
of industries which include construction, agriculture, aerospace, automotive
and more. A lot of products like hand and garden tools, automobile frames,
surgical equipment, airplane engines etc are made through CNC machining
process. The most common mechanical CNC machining operations include drill,
milling, turning, boring, broaching, sawing. Milling operation brings a
rotating cutting tool to contact a stationary workpiece. Turning is an
operation that rotates a workpiece to contact the cutting tool. Drilling is an
operation that brings a rotating cutting tool to contact the workpiece to make
a hole. Boring operation removes material to from a inner cavity. Broaching
operation removes material with shallow cuts. Sawing operation cuts a narrow
slit in the workpiece with a saw blade.
CNC machining is automated and allows to achieving high accuracy and precision. CNC machining attains a high level of complexity and customization. It is also efficient and cost-effective.
