1. What Is CNC Machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a precision manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled cutting tools to remove material from a solid workpiece. Based on digital CAD models and programmed toolpaths, CNC machines produce parts by precisely controlling cutting movements and machining operations.

CNC machining is widely used for manufacturing components that require accurate dimensions, complex geometries, tight tolerances, and excellent surface finishes.

At Cube 3D Printing, we support product development and manufacturing with custom CNC machining solutions for prototypes, engineering components, and low- to medium-volume production.

From simple brackets and housings to complex mechanical components, CNC machining provides a reliable and versatile way to turn your designs into functional, high-quality products.

2. Our CNC Machining Processes

CNC Milling

CNC milling uses rotating cutting tools to remove material from a stationary or securely positioned workpiece. It is suitable for manufacturing complex geometries, flat surfaces, slots, pockets, holes, and precision features.

With multi-axis capabilities, CNC milling can produce intricate components while reducing the need for multiple setups.

Typical Applications: Machine housings, brackets, fixtures, enclosures, heat sinks, and custom mechanical components.

CNC Turning

CNC turning rotates the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool to produce cylindrical and round components with accurate dimensions. It is ideal for parts requiring concentricity, roundness, and precise diameters.

Typical Applications: Shafts, bushings, pins, spacers, threaded components, and precision fittings.

Multi-Axis CNC Machining

Multi-axis CNC machining allows cutting tools and workpieces to move along multiple axes, enabling the production of complex geometries and intricate features with fewer setups.

This process is particularly suitable for components with multiple angled surfaces, complex contours, and demanding machining requirements.

Typical Applications: Complex mechanical parts, aerospace components, precision housings, automotive components, and specialized industrial parts.
