What is CNC Milling?
The Basics Of CNC Mills
CNC mills are automated cutting machines using a rotating spindle-head to cut away unwanted material. CNC milling machines come in a variety of sizes and different axis configurations. They are mainly utilized to cut harder metals but can work with workpiece materials ranging from plastic and aluminum to stainless steel and titanium.
How CNC Milling Works
CNC mills excel at profile cutting harder materials. Like all CNC machines, a CNC mill is controlled with G-Code created through CAM software. The Gg-Code instructs the machine where to move the tool head, how fast to spin the tool, how deep to cut, how to move the workpiece, and other factors relating to speed, feed rate, and coordination. The G-Code complexity depends on how many axes the milling machine has.
Mills can still be used for profile cutting of softer materials, but are not as cost-effective for that use as CNC routers. The main difference between these machines is that with a CNC router the workpiece remains stationary while the router cutting head is directed around the piece, while a CNC mill may move both tool head and workpiece. CNC mills are mainly used in industrial manufacturing, while CNC routing is more common for lower output manufacturing like woodworking.

Applications of CNC Milling
Rapid Tooling
Because CNC can be applied to virtually any material, it is perfect for rapid tooling, i.e., creating fixtures or molds.
Rapid Prototyping
The range of materials available, low cost per unit, and speed of production makes CNC a great option for prototyping.
End-Use Production
High-quality finish, vast material options and precise tolerances have made CNC a favorable technology for end-use parts.
Typical CNC Milling Parts That We Offer
CNC milling is very flexible way to create prototype or manufacture high volume end-used parts. Plus wide ranges of milling materials are available, it fit most types of projects. Our CNC experts know how to cut your parts fast to reduce the cost, and how to mill the complex geometry and tight tolerence custom designed parts in different materials. We have delivered million+ high quality CNC parts to our worldwide customers.
Mold Components
CNC milling is playing an important role in mold making. Mold cavities, mold bases, sliders, lifter, and other mold components can be milled.
Plastic and Metal Valves
Parts like valves, engine house which require complex geometry and tight tolerance. We can make such part with our 5 axis CNC milling.
Medical Parts
CNC milled implants in medical-grade material. We are familiar with bone fracture plate and other components which can be used in surgery.
Automotive Prototypes
Besides mechanical parts such as aluminum engine house and covers, steel shafts, We also good at the parts with tiny features as light guides and reflectors.
Machine Components
This is a rotating cutter for a mask machines. It is important to make it sharp and in the mean time to keep the condentricity under +/-0.01mm.
CNC Milled Adapters
CNC milled aluminum adapters, tight tolerance for dimension, and angles of the holes, with alodine finish.
Design Guidelines
Our basic guidelines for CNC milling include important design considerations to help improve part manufacturability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time.
