CNC machining is a manufacturing process that is typically categorized as a subtractive process or a process that’s primary goal is to remove material from a workpiece to achieve the desired form and measurement.
There are many different categories of CNC machining but the most common are laser cutting, CNC turning and milling, CNC grinding, and others.
The typical process of CNC machining is simple:
The material or workpiece is loaded and mounted to the machine.
Then, the program or pattern is programmed and set.
Once done, the entire system will undergo a dry run to test out the program and materials.
Lastly, the process is pursued.
Depending on the manufacturer, they can have assessors and inspectors to check if there are any adjustments needed.
