<p>Overview of CNC Machining Process<br><br> Evolving from the numerical control (NC) machining process which utilized punched tape cards, CNC machiningis a manufacturing process which utilizes computerized controls to operate and manipulate machine and cutting tools to shape stock material—e.g., metal, plastic, wood, foam, composite, etc.—into custom parts and designs. While the CNC machining process offers various capabilities and operations, the fundamental principles of the process remain largely the same throughout all of them. The basic CNC machining process includes the following stages:<br><br> Designing the CAD model<br><br> Converting the CAD file to a CNC program<br><br> Preparing the CNC machine<br><br> Executing the machining operation<br><br> CAD Model Design<br></p>
