What is CNC machining?
There are many different types of CNC machines. They all use computer-controlled machine tools to remove material from a workpiece. Because of this computer control, CNC machining is faster, more precise, and more accurate than traditional machining.
What is CNC machining used for?
Our precision CNC machining services can create complex finished parts and tooling for plastic injection molding or die casting. Additionally, CNC machining can be used to perform secondary drilling, tapping, and milling operations on machined parts or parts manufactured by other processes.
There are many specialized types of CNC machines that can perform a variety of operations on raw materials. However, CNC milling machines are the most common and versatile multi-axis machines we use daily at CFC.
Why CNC machining?
CNC machining is fast, precise, and versatile. No other manufacturing solution can produce any volume of end-use parts without investing in hard tooling or expensive equipment.
Benefits of CNC Machining Services
A major advantage of CNC machining is its ability to seamlessly process a wide range of materials. It can process hard engineering plastics as well as carbon fiber. All of these options provide you with greater design freedom. Learn more about our standard materials.
Whatever material you use, you need absolute confidence that it meets your specifications and regulatory requirements. That's why we have a state-of-the-art materials testing laboratory. We use Positive Material Identification (PMI) to verify all incoming goods and provide you with a comprehensive physical analysis. This is the only way to ensure you receive the quality and performance you expect.
