3-Axis CNC Milling Services

CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process where a computer-controlled machine precisely removes material from a workpiece to create a desired shape. The process involves a rotating cutting tool that moves along multiple axes, controlled by a computer program, to carve out intricate designs from various materials. In the case of a three-axis milling machine, the table typically moves on the X and Y axis and the spindle moves on the Z axis. Three-axis mills are the most common type of milling machine, making parts manufactured on them versatile and affordable.

Considerations for 3-Axis CNC Milling

  • 3-Axis CNC Milling excels at making prismatic parts with flat surfaces very accurately and efficiently

    Examples

    • Flanges

    • Fixtures

    • Brackets

    • Molds & Dies

    • Blocks & Plates

    • Housings

    • Manifolds

    • Parts manufactured on a 3-axis CNC Mill generally achieve a dimensional tolerance of +/- 0.005”

    • Tighter tolerances of up to +/- 0.001 can be achieved but may affect the pricing of your parts.
