CNC Milling
Milling is one of the typical operations performed by modern computer numerical
control machines, ideal for the
production of prototypes or customized components. Thanks to
the high level of precision it offers,
it is often used as a secondary process on semi-finished parts produced through
other techniques.
This type of machine is the most expensive among the various available options,
as it relies on a
computerized system that manages the entire process. Being an
automated system,
human intervention is kept to a minimum. The operator is responsible for
programming the machine—defining the
geometry of the part and the toolpath—and monitoring the process, stepping in
only in case of malfunctions.
This automation allows for a significant reduction in processing
time and
increased productivity, which are major advantages for
businesses and the manufacturing industry.
However, the use of CNC milling machines is generally limited to strictly
professional environments.
