How do CNC machine tools work? from luis huang's blog

A CNC machine follows instructions from preprogrammed computer software. The program specifies the speed, motion and position of the machine to achieve a specific material shape.

Steps of CNC machining process:

1. A designer creates a 2D or 3D drawing in computer-aided design (CAD) software. The file includes specifications such as structure and dimensions that will tell the CNC machine how to create the part.

2. Convert CAD files to CNC code: Since CAD files can be used in many applications, designers need to convert CAD drawings to CNC compatible files. They can change the CAD format to the CNC format using programs such as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.

3. Machine preparation: Once the operator has a readable file, they can set up the machine themselves. They attach the appropriate artifacts and tools for the correct execution of the program.

4. Process Execution: After the files and machine are prepared, the CNC operator can execute the final process. They start the program and then guide the machine through the process.

Application of computer numerical control machine tool

Due to their versatility, CNC machines can be used in a variety of applications. In an industrial setting, CNC machines can perform:

Manufacturing processes: CNC machines can expand the capabilities of manufacturing businesses that need to automate processes.

Rapid prototyping: CNC machines can quickly create high-precision prototype parts.
