What is CNC machining?

CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, is the automated control of machine tools by a computer. The machine cuts a piece of material to specification by following coded instructions, without an operator directly controlling the cut.

CNC can make complicated parts from raw stock. The number of axes on the machine determines how complex the part can be. We offer a range of materials for CNC projects.

For CNC and custom part requirements, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss them.
