What Does CNC Machining Entail?

CNC machining, in Glasgow or anywhere else, is accomplished with the same meticulous process. The subtractive manufacturing process begins with a professional design of the CAD model where the dimensions of the final tool are determined. Using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, the design is then converted into a computer-readable program. A qualified CNC machine specialist then loads the program and the machine begins to hone and sharpen the workpiece until the required level of precision is achieved.

The operation of the CNC machine depends on the final tool required. For instance, CNC milling creates precise cavities. On the other hand, CNC turning produces linear impressions on the workpiece – they could be internal or external. Regardless of your requirements, you can always count on us to deliver to your expectations.
