CNC machining<\/span><\/a> is a term that\u2019s commonly used in the manufacturing industry. What does it mean, and how does it support the accurate manufacturing of precision tools? Read below.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is CNC Machining?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNC (short for \u201ccomputer numerical control\u201d) machining is a <\/span>manufacturing process where automated software controls and machine tools work together to remove material from a workpiece, resulting in a custom part.<\/b> It\u2019s a subtractive manufacturing method, which means material is removed from the workpiece. This is the main differentiator from other manufacturing methods like 3D printing (additive) and injection molding (formative).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CNC machining can be done to many different materials, like metals (the most common), but also plastics, wood, and even glass. It\u2019s an important process for our team at Moeller, as it’s how we manufacture our standard and custom <\/span>die components<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is a CNC Machine?<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A CNC machine is a programmable machine that can autonomously perform CNC machining tasks. In other words, it can cut or change a workpiece material based on the coded, programmed instructions entered into it without a manual operator.<\/span><\/p>\n
