CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. CNC machining is typically subtractive, creating various shapes by removing materials. It is also an automated process. Once you have inserted the code, the machine automatically makes the shape.
A CNC machine typically has a controller, servo motors, and multiple axes. In general, you can find three-axis CNC machines everywhere. For more complex cases, 4-12 axes CNC machines are used.
CNC machining is widely used in many industries. From aerospace to automotive, every industry involving metal needs this. Engine parts, brackets, and surgical instruments are some everyday products.
