CNC Machines are controlled by software allowing you to create designs easily and the machine to create the product, simple. However, digging deeper into the world of CNC it can get more complex. For example, a CNC machine can host a wide variety of different functions including routeing, milling, drilling and cutting which means they are incredibly versatile machines.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Controlled, and it is the process used widely in all different types of manufacturing. These machines control tools such as lathes, mills and grinders.

What are the benefits of CNC Machining?

• Highly Accurate – The use of CAD creates extremely accurate drawings before the CNC process takes place.
• Easily Repeat – Once there is a design or template created, it can be used multiple times to produce the exact same copy to precise specifications.
• Cost effective – Our precision CNC Machining services are extremely accurate, so the waste material is kept to a minimum. The CNC machine also allows the user to take complete advantage of the raw materials.
• Increases Production Speed – Parts that normally have to go through a number of steps before they can be completed, no longer have to go through such a lengthy process and so the process is much quicker using CNC Machines. The fully automated aspect means that the time of the overall production is cut down; the speed of production is significantly higher compared to other machining techniques.
• Increases Levels of Safety – The CNC Machine operator is kept out of harm’s way as the whole process is automated, which makes it a much safer way to manufacture.
• Very Efficient – CNC Machines feature an internal quality assurance detector, which makes the machines very efficient. As soon as a deficiency is detected the machine stops operating to prevent any material wastage.
