CNC machining is one of two ways that engineers, machinists, or makers can generate a physical part from a computer design file, with the other being 3D printing, known as additive manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contrast between these two techniques is stark. CNC machining, like other machining processes, is a subtractive process, where material is removed from a stock, and 3D printing is an additive process, essentially functioning in reverse.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-were-cnc-machines-invented\">When were CNC machines invented?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first CNC machines were developed in the 1940s and 50s and relied primarily on a data storage technique known as &#8220;punched tape.&#8221; The &#8220;code&#8221; to control the machines would be manually punched into a data card and fed into a system that would then interpret that data. Needless to say, these early machines were rudimentary, and their functionality was limited.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-04-19-at-1.25.04-PM-1024x457.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11960\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FNYEXjRmDtI\">Concerning Reality<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNC machining technologies rapidly grew as technological capability only accelerated in the late 20th century, which brings us to how modern CNC machines work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, machining is a way to transform a stock piece of material, such as aluminum, steel, or titanium, into a finished product or part. CNC machines rely on digital instructions, specifically referred to as G-code. Before modern computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided design (CAD) programs, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk Fusion<\/a>, were around, machinists would manually write the G-code to control these machines. CAM programs today allow you to take a 3D model and automatically generate G-code that will drive the machine with little input required.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you compare the capabilities of automated CNC machining to the manual alternative, like lathes and other machining techniques, you can see the benefits. CNC machines simply run faster at higher precision and accuracy while simultaneously allowing the transformation of a digital design into a physical part.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNC machines are precise and are measured in thousands of an inch, referred to as thou. Standard machining can provide tolerances on parts around \u00b10.005\u2033, fine machining can produce tolerances of \u00b10.001\u2033, and specialized processes like polishing can offer repeatable tolerances as tight as \u00b10.00005\u2033. For reference, a human hair is .00069 inches thick.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-cnc-machines-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do CNC machines work?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is CNC Machining and How Does it Work?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FNYEXjRmDtI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many designs or specific machining processes require the use of multiple tools to make cuts. One tool doesn&#8217;t function universally. For this, machinists will often build digital tool libraries that interface with the physical CNC machine. These machines, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, can automatically switch tooling when directed by their digital instructions, allowing them to become manufacturing workhorses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic CNC machines will move in one or two axes, referred to as the x-axis and y-axis, followed by the third, z-axis, which you\u2019ll hear the term 2.5 axis, meaning only two axes move together, rather than all 3. You&#8217;ll often hear the terms 2.5, 3-axis, and 5-axis CNC machines, which simply refer to the degrees of freedom a machine can make cuts in. A three-axis machine can move in the x, y, and z axes, whereas a 5-axis machine can move in these 3 axes along with 2 rotational axes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you might be able to imagine, the possibilities of production with 5-axis machines are practically endless. 5-axis machines used to be relegated to high-precision work, but as they have become more affordable, they are quickly becoming standard in many shops.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"understanding-drills-lathes-and-milling-machines\">Understanding drills, lathes, and milling machines<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three conventional machining technologies you need to understand to grasp the basics of how material is removed from stock in CNC machines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drills\">Drills<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drills work by spinning a drill bit and moving the bit into contact with stationary stock.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lathes\">Lathes<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_654693583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_654693583.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_654693583-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_654693583-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, we have lathes, which function in reverse to drilling. Lathes spin the block of material against a stationary drill bit or cutter to remove material in a circular or fluid path. The shape capabilities on lathes are more limited than other techniques, but modern technology does allow these machines to create things such as square holes and non-circular shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"milling-machines\">Milling machines<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, the most common CNC machine type is referred to as a milling machine. Milling machines involve the use of rotary cutting tools to remove material from a stock piece. These machines function similarly to drills, with their tooling capabilities encompassing a much greater variety.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-materials-can-you-use-on-a-cnc-machine\">What materials can you use on a CNC machine?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost any material can be used in a CNC machine, from plastic to titanium. Different materials have different properties, so machinists and engineers will overcome their unique challenges by altering machining variables like tool selection, RPM, feed rate, coolant flow, among an extensive variety of other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manufacturing-the-future-with-cnc-machining\">Manufacturing the future with CNC machining<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNC-machined parts are all around you. They hold together your car and perform vital functions aboard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spacex.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SpaceX<\/a> rockets. CNC machining is arguably the only way to produce high-precision metal parts for engineering designs across the world. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, CNC machining is arguably the most significant manufacturing process of the 21st century, and its functionality drives technological advancement across the globe. It&#8217;s a trade that is keeping up with the growth of technology, and machinists across the planet are changing the world with their CNC machining skills.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is CNC machining?
