CNC machines are becoming more and more popular in the manufacturing world for a few different reasons. There are a few different ways taht you can use CNC machines as well such as using CAD software or CAM software. Some advantages that come with using a CNC machine include reducing the amount of labor needed for the job as well as the high level of precision over the project. There are a few different types of drills you can use as well such as a spotting drill or a peck drill.
Key Takeaways:
- With CNC machines, CAD files that hold 3D blueprint designs are uploaded in the CAM software.
- Types of CNC equipment exist for drilling, milling, turning, grinding and plasma cutting.
- CNC machines can be classified as either contouring (e.g., CNC lathes) or point-to-point (e.g., drilling or boring machines).
“CNC machines help to eliminate excess metal from raw materials for creating the desired product.”
