What is CNC Milling?


CNC Milling is a specific type of CNC Machining. Computerised controls are used to produce a custom-designed part or product that is of high quality and precise finish. It is favoured in many industries due to its accuracy, consistency and ability for high production and uniformity. The milling process starts with a CAD drawing (computer-aided design), and it is used to control the outputs of the CNC Milling machine. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. This means that that milling machine is controlled by a computer.
