What are the key CNC metal fabrication processes?
- Primary Methods:
- Milling: Removing material with rotating tools (end mills, face mills).
- Turning: Rotating the workpiece against a stationary tool (lathes).
- Laser Cutting: Precision cutting using focused laser beams.
- Plasma Cutting: Melting metal with ionized gas jets.
- Waterjet Cutting: Abrasive slurry for complex shapes without heat.
