CNC Milling FAQs
CNC milling is just one of the CNC machining processes available. Milling is a particular form of precision CNC machining. Milling uses a cutter that removes material by moving into the workpiece at an angle. The movement of the cutter is controlled by computer instructions, allowing for extreme precision and repeatability.
Besides CNC turning, CNC milling is one of the most popular custom CNC machining processes. CNC milling services are used for the majority of machined parts because it can handle a wide variety of irregular geometries. It is also an efficient means of mass production once the setup is complete.
NOBLE works with vertical, horizontal, and multi-axis milling machines. The vertical milling machine is highly accurate equipment that carries out 3-axis milling, suitable for vertical surfaces and angular shapes.
Our horizontal milling machines perform 4-axis milling and are suitable for heavy milling operations. Our multi-axis milling machines can move along different axes and cut at various angles. They include 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling machines.
Yes, you can combine both manufacturing processes to reinforce your custom parts. Printed parts can be milled to achieve dimensions with tight tolerances or to meet surface quality requirements. Intelligently combining these two methods can ensure faster manufacturing, less waste, and lower costs. It even achieves higher accuracy and precision, repeatability, and sustainable production.
CNC milling starts with designing a digital part with CAD software. Then the file will be converted into CNC readable program code, which can be recognized by a CNC mill and dictates to the mill how to rapidly fabricate parts from raw material blocks.
Different from CNC lathes or turning centers where a stationary cutting tool removes material by making contact with the spinning workpiece, CNC mills cut away block or bar stock by a rapidly rotating cutting tool moving against the workpiece. The tool path is controlled by computer instructions, enabling improved reliability and repeatability regardless of potential human error.
Different milling types can achieve different functions and can be suitable for different applications. Usually, CNC milling services can be divided into the main 8 types of operations:
- Gear Milling
- Thread Milling
- Plain Milling
- Form Milling
- Face Milling
- Angular Milling
- Profile Milling
- Straddle Milling
We quote German and Japanese advanced equipment including imported three-axis, four-axis, and five-axis CNC milling machines equipped with different tool sets to maximize production efficiency and speed.
CNC milling is used to produce many typical geometry parts with tight tolerances and high accuracy. In the precision CNC milling design process, we recommend typical CNC milling parts including complex planes, curved surfaces, shell parts, connecting rods, propellers, and component housings. But consumers should also notice that some factors like thin walls, deep cavities, and inner wall cutouts may be not suitable for the CNC milling process.
We provide professional design considerations as follows:
- Avoid Sharp Internal Corners.
- Avoid Narrow, Deep Slots.
- Avoid flimsy shapes.
- Corner radio of 10% or more of wall height is ideal.
- Avoid flimsy shapes.
- Practical shape as straight edges.
- Weak shapes are difficult to be milled, such as long thin shapes and thin walls.
- Visible cutting surface pattern for cutter rotation and movement.
The major difference between CNC milling and CNC lathe is in their machining process. CNC milling involves rotating the cutting tools against a stationary bar stock or workpiece. In contrast, a CNC lather works by rotating the bar stock or workpiece against a stationary tool. CNC milling is more suitable for machining irregular and flat surfaces, while CNC lathes work best for cylindrical or conical parts.
