CNC Metal Machining

In the industrial manufacturing process known as computer numerical control (CNC) machining, industrial equipment and tools are moved according to pre-programmed computer software to produce the required end product. In order to create any desired 3D items, a variety of complex machinery, including grinders, lathes, mills, and CNC routers, can be controlled by the CNC machining process. When a CNC machine is turned on, the required cuts are programmed into the software and sent to the relevant machinery and equipment, which more correctly completes the pre-defined dimensional jobs to create final CNC metal parts.

In general, CNC metal machining enables machine tool functions to be pre-programmed for speed and location and executed by software in predictable, repeating cycles, all with minimal input from human operators. A 2D or 3D CAD drawing is created for the CNC metal machining process, which is then converted into programming code for the CNC system to execute. The operator runs the program once it has been inputted to make sure there are no coding errors.

What Kind of CNC Machining Do We Use at Zeal 3D?

The number of axes in a CNC machine has an impact on the kind of work it can do, the amount of detail it can slice, and the places on the workpiece it can move. At Zeal 3D, we use modern multi-axis CNC machines that include a wide range of features that increase their utility and functionality. And, these are only effective if the CNC machine can seamlessly move along its axis in order to obtain desired details. At Zeal 3D, we employ 3-Axis, 5-Axis, and 7-Axis CNC machines.

3-Axis CNC Machining

The idea behind a 3-axis CNC machine is that the workpiece stays in place as the cutting tool removes material along the XYZ plane. The 3-axis machine works well for components that don't need a lot of depth or intricacy. The most typical method of producing mechanical components via 3-axis machining is best suited for: milling slots, drilling holes, and cutting sharp edges.

5-Axis Machining

» Read More

According to the concept of 5-axis CNC machining, the respective workpiece can be automatically moved in five different directions at once. The 5-axis machining can create extremely intricate 3D structures, including complicated curved 3D surfaces in addition to planar compound angled features, enabling us to create items that are typically only possible through the use of molding techniques.

7-Axis Machining

The 7-Axis CNC machines are capable of manufacturing long, slim, and intricately detailed pieces. In a 7-Axis machine, the seven axes that are involved are the standard right-left, top-down, and back-front axes, followed by axes for tool spinning, part rotation, tool head rotation, and movement for clamping, reclamping, or releasing the part. This significant degree of mobility without the use of post-fabrication processes has increased the precision of the final product.

Types of CNC Operations

CNC Milling

Computer numerical control milling, or CNC milling, is a machining technique that uses computerized controls and spinning multi-point cutting tools to gradually eliminate material from a workpiece and create a part or product with a specific design. This method works well for making a variety of parts and products with unique designs out of a wide range of materials, including metal, glass, plastic, and wood.

CNC Drilling

CNC drilling is an industrial machining process that utilizes a rotating cutting tool in order to create circular holes in a stationary workpiece. The drilling machine frequently doubles as a multi-task machining center that can implement milling as well as turning operations. Since CNC drilling devices are computer-controlled, they are less likely to make mistakes, allowing manufacturers to produce products with great accuracy and consistency.

CNC Turning

In the CNC turning process, material bars are rotated while being held in a chuck, allowing the material to be removed till the ideal design is achieved. Since the desired shape is obtained by removing material, this method is sometimes referred to as the subtractive machining process. With the computer numerical control (CNC) turning process, the material is removed from a rotating workpiece by placing a cutting tool against it. Materials, including wood, metal, and plastic, can be cut effectively using different types of CNC machines or turning centers.

Gantry Milling

The gantry milling machine sometimes referred to as gantry milling, is a mill with a long horizontal bed and a gantry frame that aids in carrying out milling operations. The surface can be milled on the gantry milling machine at once using various milling cutters. In this method, production efficiency and processing accuracy are both fairly high.

CNC Machining Capabilities

With different degrees of complexity and scale, CNC machines can create a wide variety of industrial components and products. The size of the products you can make with CNC machines is, however, subject to several restrictions and limitations. The work envelope of the machine essentially dictates what dimensions a CNC milling machine can create up to. At Zeal 3D, we offer the maximum building possible, which is up to 1200x500x500mm, in other terms, 1200mm (47′′) X by 500mm (19′′) Y by 500mm (19′′) Z.

CNC machines are automated tools that use computer programming and specialized software to create products. It is highly versatile and used in various industries, including automobile manufacturing and aerospace engineering. There are five common types of CNC machines that are commonly used: milling machines, lathes, routers, plasma cutters, and EDM (electrical discharge machining).

1. Milling Machine: Used for drilling, boring, and cutting metal pieces.
2. Lathe: Used for cutting and shaping metal into desired shapes and sizes.
3. Router: It uses high-speed spindles to cut wood or plastic materials into desired shapes.
4. Plasma Cutter: It uses an electrically charged gas stream to cut through metal sheets quickly.
5. EDM (electrical discharge machining) uses electrical spark erosion to shape metal components.

CNC machines are automated tools used to produce various products and components. The three critical components of a CNC machine are the machine tool, the computer numerical control (CNC) unit, and the programmer.

  • The machine tool is the physical device that performs all of the cutting or shaping operations.
  • The CNC unit is responsible for controlling the machine tool, setting its speed and position, and issuing commands to begin and end operations.
  • Finally, the programmer provides instructions to the CNC unit on which operations it should perform on a particular piece of material.


    • Combining all these components allows CNC machines to function reliably and accurately.

  • The automotive industry, for example, uses CNC machines to produce components such as gears, shafts, and spindles.
  • CNC machines are also used extensively in aerospace manufacturing aircraft parts and components.
  • In the medical device industry, CNC machines are utilized to create implants and prosthetics. The electronics industry uses CNC machines to create circuit boards and other complex components.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, a technology used in manufacturing many components and products.

Commonly used materials include metals such as aluminum, steel, brass, and titanium; plastics such as nylon, polycarbonate, and acrylic; wood; composites; and ceramics. All these materials have properties making them suitable for different applications.
For example, metals are often used for superior strength and durability, while plastics are usually preferred for lightweight parts requiring flexibility or transparency. CNC machines also allow for machining complex shapes from almost any material with precision and accuracy.


A CNC lathe is an automated machine that can be utilized to create a various shapes and components. It has five primary operations that it can perform: turning, boring, facing, drilling, and threading.

  • Turning is the process of cutting material away to create the desired shape.
  • Boring is the enlargement of an existing hole or making of a new one with high precision and accuracy.
  • Facing is trimming off material from the end of a workpiece to create a flat surface or reduce its diameter.
  • Drilling is the creation of holes into materials using drills and other cutting tools.
  • Threading allows cutting threads into parts to hold them together by mating two lines like a screw and nut.


With these five operations and more, CNC Lathes are used in many industries today for their highly automated and accurate machining capabilities.
