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.
