Whether you’re in automotive, aerospace, electronics, or manufacturing, our CNC milling solutions provide unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility to meet your design needs. We understand precision and speed are crucial for turning designs into tangible products, and that’s exactly what we offer through our advanced CNC milling capabilities.

What is CNC Milling?

CNC milling (Computer Numerical Control milling) is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer control to remove material from a solid block (or workpiece) and create the desired shape. The workpiece is usually made from metals, plastics, or other solid materials and is fixed on a platform. At the same time, a rotating cutting tool (the milling cutter) moves around it, precisely cutting and shaping the material according to a pre-programmed design.

The entire process is automated and controlled by specialized software, which ensures extreme accuracy and precision in producing parts, from simple components to highly complex geometries. CNC milling is a versatile technique that can achieve detailed features, making it ideal for industries requiring high-performance components.

The CNC Milling Process

The CNC milling service at 3DVector starts with a CAD (computer-aided design) file, which is then converted into a CNC program. This program dictates how the milling machine moves and shapes the material. Our team ensures that the program is optimized for accuracy and efficiency.

The milling machine operates using rotating cutting tools to remove material. Depending on the complexity of the part, multiple axis machines may be used. For instance, 3-axis CNC milling machines can move in three directions (X, Y, and Z axes), while 5-axis CNC machines can rotate on two additional axes, allowing for even more precise and complex designs. This level of control and flexibility enables us to create parts with intricate features, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes, often required for high-performance applications.

CNC Machining vs. CNC Milling: What’s the Difference?

Although CNC machining and CNC milling are terms often used interchangeably, they refer to slightly different processes.

CNC machining is a broad term that covers a variety of automated processes where material is removed from a workpiece to create a specific shape. CNC milling is just one type of CNC machining. Still, it specifically involves rotating cutting tools to carve out material, whereas other CNC machining processes include techniques like turning, drilling, and grinding.

In CNC milling, the workpiece remains stationary while the rotating tool moves around it, cutting away the excess material. In contrast, in CNC turning, for example, the workpiece rotates while a cutting tool shapes it. Each of these processes has its own strengths and is chosen based on the design requirements of the part being produced.
