Advantages of CNC Machining
CNC machining is a fast, efficient way to make complex parts from metal. CNC machines can work with many different materials, including aluminum, steel, and magnesium. Metals such as these have high strength-to-weight ratios, which make them excellent for high-performance engineering applications. They also tend to be lighter than other materials, which makes them perfect for parts in electronics. CNC machines use a three-dimensional coordinate system to guide the machine tool. This coordinate system, which is also used in mathematics, is necessary to map out machine tool paths and other actions. The system includes a starting point, which is called an absolute coordinate. When using absolute coordinates, the machine starts from a point in space that represents the stock material's center. This center is called the initial position. Once the machine has reached the desired position, it starts running the next step. CNC machining allows for higher precision than manual proce...
