Depending upon the features and needs of different parts, a precise CNC machining technique is used accordingly. Milling because of its versatility is perfect for complex as well as contoured parts such that it would fit into engine blocks, molds and even aerospace structure.
Therefore, while turning does well on cylindrical parts such as screws and spindles. It is drilling that is preferred for making holes of great accuracy in engine blocks and electronic enclosures, etc. Routing provides the best performance in shaping wood, plastics and composites with different applications for furniture components and custom signage.
Plasma cutting easily cuts metal sheet and plate used in various industrial settings such as automotive manufacturing, HVAC ductwork. Along with the versatility in using laser cutting throughout a wide range of materials and patterns, waterjet cut is ideal for heat-sensitive products such as stones, stoneware or glass.
EDM methods provide fine detailing for dies, molds and aerospace components. Surface finishing is done by grinding when used in nowadays tools production, gears and bearings manufacturing; bending techniques are applicable to sheet metal parts such as brackets or enclosures. Additionally, additive manufacturing has the ability to manufacture parts that are custom and for prototyping in industries such as aerospace, medical and automotive. Whether CNC is suited for use depends on factors like part design, material properties, tolerance requirements and production volume making it a flexible option suitable to various applications.
