CNC 3 Axis Milling

A foundational method in computer numerical control machining, CNC 3-axis milling centers on three principal axes to remove material and shape parts. This simpler version of CNC milling is highly effective for producing parts with relatively straightforward geometries. Typically involving the movement of the cutting tool along the X, Y, and Z axes, 3-axis mills are adept at creating slots, holes, and details on flat workpieces. This method is versatile enough to handle materials ranging from metals to plastics and composites, making it a staple in machine shops for general milling tasks. CNC 3-axis milling is renowned for its robustness, cost-efficiency, and relatively high production speeds.
