What is CNC Milling?

We are going to look at the process, machinery, etc. in later paragraphs. But let’s first make clear what CNC milling means and bring clarity to some of the more confusing points about the term itself.

First, people often ask for CNC machining when looking for milling. Machining entails both milling and turning but these two have distinct differences. Machining refers to a mechanical cutting technology that uses physical contact to remove material, using a wide range of tools.

Secondly, all CNC machining uses CNC machines but not all CNC machines are for machining. Computer numerical control is what lies behind these three letters. Any machine using CNC utilises computerised systems for automating the cutting process.

Therefore, CNC machines also include laser cutters, plasma cutters, press brakes, etc.

So CNC machining is a mix of these two terms, bringing us the answer to the question posed in the heading. CNC milling is a substractive fabrication method that uses computer numerical controls systems for automating the process.

How to Choose CNC Milling Services

CNC milling can be incredibly useful for a wide variety of projects. Still, to take advantage of the benefits listed above, you must take the time to find a reliable company to work with.

There’s actually a wide range of CNC machining services offered by companies from all over the world, so you need to have at least a basic understanding of what you need before reaching out to potential candidates.

For one thing, you should have at least some ideas about what types of parts you want to be manufactured or what kinds of tools you would need. If you don’t, you’ll have a harder time narrowing down the list of companies that would be able to provide you with the necessary CNC milling services.

Alternatively, you could reach out to a reputable company that has extensive experience and offers a range of services, as they could help consult you to determine the best course of action in your situation.

Since the technology and expertise required in CNC milling projects is high, it’s imperative to seek out companies with the necessary experience, as well as a solid reputation.

Go through the testimonials and reviews from previous clients and look at what types of experiences they had with the company, as well as what problems they were able to solve.

Once you have narrowed down the list of choices to around five companies, reach out to them and ask questions about their approach, their suggestions for your project, the price for executing it, and anything else that you think could be relevant.

Quite a few companies offer CNC milling services, but while finding a reasonable price is important, it must not come at the cost of inferior quality.
