What Is A CNC Machine?

Mechanical CNC machining is a metal fabrication method that involves inputting coded instructions that control all the machinery in any given manufacturing process. The code that is inputted into the software program will determine every aspect from the cutting head and spindle speed to the RPM. Most types of CNC machines go through what’s called a subtractive manufacturing process where layers of material are removed by the CNC machining process. The opposite of this is called additive manufacturing, where a variety of materials are added – the most common example of this is 3D Printing.
