What is CNC

CNC machining is a pivotal aspect of the modern manufacturing landscape, playing a crucial role in shaping the industry's advancements. 


What is CNC?

CNC is for Computerized Numerical Control. It is a computer-driven manufacturing process where pre-programmed software and code dictate the movements of production machinery. 

CNC machining exercises control over a variety of intricate equipment, including grinders, lathes, and turning mills, which are used to cut, shape, and craft diverse parts and prototypes. 

In day-to-day operations, CNC machinists blend mechanical design principles, technical drawings, mathematical concepts, and computer programming expertise to fabricate an array of 

metal and plastic components. These skilled operators have the capability to transform a mere sheet of metal into a pivotal aircraft or automotive component.


CNC( Computer Numerical Control ) machining center, also know as multi process automatic tool changing numerical control machine,  is a computer-controlled machine tool that can perform a variety of machining operations,

 including milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and reaming. CNC machining centers are typically used to produce complex parts with high precision and accuracy.


How to choose the right material for CNC machining process?

NC machining is one of the most common manufacturing methods used for producing parts and products. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) adapts highly automated processes with advantages in speed, productivity, and precision compared to traditional manufacturing methods. 

Choosing the right material for CNC machining should consider the following factors:

Machinability: Machinability is the most important factor during choosing the matrial for CNC machining process.The material should be available to be procceded by CNC equipment. So, concidering the materials hardness, 

abrasiveness, or other features is very important, withthat we can proceed your project efficiently and accurately.

Price: Material cost is a significant factor in any manufacturing process. Some materials may be more expensive but offer superior performance, while others may be more budget-friendly but still suitable for the job. Selecting a

material that balances cost-effectiveness with the desired properties according to your budget.

Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the application and environment in which the final part will operate, you may need a material with good corrosion resistance. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, materials like stainlesssteel or aluminum with proper coatings may be preferable.

Strength: Evaluate the mechanical properties of the material, such as tensile strength, hardness, and impact resistance. Choose a material that provides the necessary strength and durability for your specific application. Factors 

like load-bearing requirements should be considered.

Weight: Consider the weight of the final product or component. Lightweight materials like aluminum are often chosen when weight reduction is essential, especially in applications like aerospace or automotive industries. However, for some applications, heavier materials may be necessary for stability or strength.

Appearance: The aesthetics of the final part may be important, particularly in consumer products or applications where visual appeal matters. Some materials, like plastics, can be easily customized in terms of color and surface finish. Others, like metals, may require additional finishing processes for the desired appearance.
