The usual process of small batch CNC machining involves a few people and more materials. To help you identify it, here is the typical way they’re done:
The material is fed and mounted onto the CNC machine.
After that, an operator will program the machine (geometrically and directionally).
Everything else, such as temperature, speed, quantity, etc., will be toggled and programmed.
When done, quality analysts and inspectors will take one last look at the product to examine if it is within the specifications of the client.
Lastly, it will be labeled and packaged according to the order.
