Specifications
What is a CNC part?
CNC (computer numerical control) machines are complex pieces of equipment designed to automatically manufacture parts from a wide range of materials that include metal, plastic, and wood. CNC machines come in many different configurations, but the most common are CNC mills and CNC lathes.
Product designers and engineers choose CNC machining to rapidly produce prototypes and production parts. The manufacturing technology offers a high level of precision, engineering-grade materials, quick-turn lead times.
What are the basic parts of CNC?
A computer numerical control (CNC) system consists of three basic components: CNC software that is a program of instructions, a machine control unit, and processing equipment, also called machine tool.
Application
What are CNC parts used for?
CNC is commonly used in manufacturing for machining metal and plastic parts. Mills, lathes, routers, drills, grinders, water jets and lasers are common cutting tools whose operations can also be automated with CNC.
