CNC

CNC machining is the most widely used subtractive manufacturing technology. In CNC, material is removed from a solid block using a variety of cutting tools to produce a part based on a CAD model. Both metals and plastics can be machined with CNC.

There are two main types of CNC machining systems: milling and turning.

This is how a typical CNC milling machine would look like.

In CNC milling, the part is mounted onto the bed and material is removed using rotational cutting tools.

This is how a typical CNC turning machine would look like.

In CNC turning, the part is mounted on a rotating chuck and material is removed using stationary cutting tools. This way parts with symmetry along their center axis can be manufactured. Turned parts are typically produced faster (and at a lower cost) than milled parts.

CNC machines use different cutting tools. Here are some of the most commonly used milling tools in CNC

As part of my final project , i've created a box in AutoDesk Fusion 360. Once the design has beem created , in order to export the drawing into the machine to cutting , i used Vcarve Pro.
