Delivering a wide range of functionality at a compelling price-point.
CNC milling machines are indispensable for both commercial and industrial production, benefiting industries such as aerospace, medical, and precast. But how do these machines operate, and what makes them unique? CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, indicating that the machine is directed by numerical computer control rather than manually. These tools perform precision machining processes akin to drilling and cutting, eliminating human error. This increasingly popular industrial solution can handle a variety of materials with exact sizes and shapes, for example, foam, plastic, and wood.
