First of all, CNC milling is a process utilizing computer numerical control technology to precisely manipulate a milling machine, controlling the tool’s position, speed, and movement path through pre-programmed instructions.Secondly, this technology is able to reach a high-precision and process metals or other materials efficiently.Given that, the following are the main features and working principles of CNC milling:
Milling equipment includes 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis. Each type of equipment has its own unique characteristics and scope of application:
Unlock a new level of efficient production! 3-axis milling, precise carving of every detail, worry-free mass production, cost reduction, and efficiency soaring.
One clamping, multi-faceted forming! 4-axis milling technology makes complex processing simple and efficient. Improve production flexibility, lower costs, and higher quality.
5-axis milling is the ultimate weapon for complex surface processing. It combines precision and speed, provides excellent surface quality, and significantly shortens product development cycles.
CNC milling holds a pivotal position in modern manufacturing, renowned for its exceptional precision, versatility, repeatability, and broad application spectrum.
Because of the computer numerical control can precisely control the movement of the tool, CNC milling can achieve high-precision machining, often reaching micron-level accuracy.
Milling technology has highly flexibility.Not only can it quickly switch between different processing tasks, but also handle a variety of complex designs and materials easily.
By changing tools and adjusting programs, CNC milling can process parts of different shapes and sizes, and is suitable for multi-variety, small-batch production.
During machining, the stability and uniformity of the CNC program guarantee adherence to preset standards and precision, fostering high repeatability in machining outcomes.
CNC milling machine tools can automatically complete complex processing operations, reducing reliance on manual operations and improving production efficiency.

CNC Milling achieves efficient and precise processing of workpieces through preliminary preparation, workpiece clamping and positioning, automatic cutting, processing completion and subsequent processing.
First, the processing program needs to be written according to the design drawings of the parts. These programs usually use G code or M code to describe the cutting tools, cutting parameters, cutting paths, etc.Then,Transmit the written CNC program to the control system of the CNC machine tool.
Place the workpiece on the workbench of the CNC milling machine and clamp it firmly by using a fixture or clamp.Use positioning elements such as positioning pins to preliminarily position the workpiece.Use the fine-tuning device to adjust the position of the workpiece to the final processing position.
The operator inputs the programmed machining program to the CNC controller.The controller reads and interprets the CNC code, generates control signals,and drives the various moving parts of the machine tool.CNC machine tools automatically plan and execute tool paths according to CNC program instructions.
During the machining process, the CNC system monitors the position of the tool and workpiece, cutting force and other parameters in real time.If an abnormal situation is found (such as excessive cutting force, tool wear, etc.), the system will automatically adjust the cutting parameters or issue an alarm.
In order to improve the precision and surface quality of the processed parts and eliminate possible processing defects, we will perform correction, grinding or polishing on the processed parts.Measure the workpiece's size, shape, and surface roughness to verify compliance with requirements.
Our wide range of services covers core areas such as Rapid Prototyping and CNC Milling, ensuring that customers can achieve product prototype design and manufacturing with the highest accuracy in the shortest time.
We use the latest rapid prototyping technology to provide you with an unprecedented efficient prototyping experience. Whether it is a complex geometric structure or a fine surface treatment, we can respond quickly to needs and turn ideas into physical prototypes that are within reach.
For projects that require high-precision machining and complex shape cutting, our technology is undoubtedly the best choice, ensuring that customers can obtain the most optimized machining solutions and the most satisfactory product results according to their own needs.
Rapid prototyping usually uses discrete/accumulation forming technology, such as 3D printing, to build prototypes by adding materials layer by layer. Conversely, milling uses a rotating cutting tool to gradually remove material from the workpiece to achieve the shape and size required by the design. This material removal method generally gives presicion milling a higher advantage in processing accuracy and can meet stricter tolerance requirements.
While rapid prototyping technology supports multi-material processing, it may encounter limitations with specific materials like high-hardness metals. In contrast, precision milling offers broader material compatibility, encompassing metals, plastics, wood, and more, to fulfill diverse processing demands.
Precision milling systems offer high flexibility, swiftly adapting to diverse processing needs. By changing tools and fixtures, they handle parts of various shapes, sizes, and materials. This adaptability makes them ideal for small batches, short cycles, and multiple product types.
