A milling machine removes material from a work piece by rotating a cutting tool (cutter) and moving it into the work piece. Milling machines, either vertical or hori- zontal, are usually used to machine flat and irregularly shaped surfaces and can be used to drill, bore, and cut gears, threads, and slots.
Turning is a machining operation performed on a lathe in which the workpiece rotates at high speeds while a fixed cutting tool removes material.
CNC milling is a machine process which produces custom-designed parts or components by progressively removing material from the workpiece using rotating multi-point cutting tools and computerized controls.
The CNC Router uses CAM software programs, a visual programming tool used to create geometric code or simply, g-code, the CNC computer language that operates the machine. Machine tool heads are controlled by G-code, which controls their basic movement, time, and direction.
The welding process uses heat, pressure, or both to fuse two or more parts together, forming a joint as they cool.
Is an engineering methodology that focuses on optimising the manufacturing and assembly aspects of a product. Both of these aspects have a high impact on the final product’s quality and cost.
