• Typical Applications:
  • High-precision components (gears, shafts, brackets).
  • Prototypes and low-to-medium volume production.
  • Complex geometries requiring tight tolerances (±0.025 mm or better).

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) metal fabrication involves using programmed instructions to automate machining tools (e.g., lathes, mills, lasers, plasma cutters) for shaping, cutting, and finishing metal parts with high precision

• 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.

• Common Materials:
  • Steel (mild, stainless, tool steel).
  • Aluminum (6061, 7075).
  • Titanium alloys.
  • Brass, copper, and bronze.
  • Exotics (Inconel, Hastelloy).

 CNC (Computer Numerical Control) metal fabrication involves using programmed instructions to automate machining tools (e.g., lathes, mills, lasers, plasma cutters) for shaping, cutting, and finishing metal parts with high precision

• Automation: CNC lathes use programmed instructions (G-code) for precise, repeatable operations (±0.01 mm accuracy).
• Flexibility: Quick setup changes for complex geometries and small-batch production.

• Typical Applications: Shafts, flanges, bushings, threaded components, and complex rotational parts (e.g., gears, fittings).
• Materials: Metals (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass), plastics, and composites.
