What is CNC Milling?
CNC milling is a manufacturing process in which parts or materials are securely affixed to a fixture, and the cutters on the machine follow a computer numerical control (CNC) program for precise operations. This process has evolved from traditional manual milling methods.
Various machines are employed in CNC milling, including milling machines, CNC machining centers, drill and tapping machines, and turning-milling machines, each specialized for specific milling tasks.
- CNC machining centers are available with 3 axes, 4 axes, and 5 axes, and the complexity of the machining tasks they can handle increases with the number of axes.
- Machines equipped with more axes can produce intricate and intricate milled parts.

Online CNC Milling Processes
Online CNC milling processes refer to the utilization of computer numerical control (CNC) milling services available over the internet. These services enable individuals or businesses to access and request CNC milling and machining operations remotely through online platforms. Here is an overview of the typical steps and components of online CNC milling processes:
- Online Quoting and Ordering:
- Customers typically begin by visiting the website of an online CNC milling service provider.
- They upload or input their design files (usually in CAD/CAM formats) and specify project requirements, including material, quantity, tolerances, and any special instructions.
- The online platform generates a price quote based on the provided information. Customers can review and confirm the order.
- Design Review and Optimization:
- Some online CNC milling services offer design review and optimization. This involves checking the uploaded design for potential issues or improvements and working with the customer to refine the design if necessary.
- Material Selection:
- Customers choose the material they want their parts to be machined from. This can include metals, plastics, wood, or composites, as mentioned earlier.
- CNC Machining Setup:
- The online service provider prepares the CNC machine and the necessary tooling based on the provided design and material specifications.
- CNC Milling and Machining:
- The CNC machine follows the programmed instructions to cut, shape, and refine the material, creating the desired part or component.
- Quality Control:
- After machining is complete, quality control measures are typically taken to ensure the parts meet the specified tolerances and quality standards.
- Inspection and Testing:
- Depending on the complexity of the part and customer requirements, inspection and testing may be conducted, which can include dimensional measurements and functional testing.
- Finishing and Surface Treatments:
- Additional finishing processes like deburring, polishing, or applying surface treatments can be carried out if requested.
- Packaging and Shipping:
- The finished parts are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit and then shipped to the customer’s specified address.
- Customer Feedback and Support:
- Online CNC milling service providers often seek feedback from customers to ensure satisfaction and to continually improve their services.
- Customer support is available for inquiries, clarifications, or any issues that may arise during the process.
Online CNC milling services offer convenience, access to a wider range of machining capabilities, and the ability to complete projects without the need for physical presence at a machining facility. Video conferences during the whole process is very supportive. This approach has become increasingly popular for both prototyping and production purposes.

Advantages of CNC Milling Process
In comparison to die casting or traditional casting methods, CNC milling offers the advantage of a significantly lower Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). Additionally, CNC milling is often the preferred choice for creating prototypes due to its versatility and precision.
CNC milling processes offer exceptional precision, achieving accuracy levels down to the submicron range. For typical products, tight tolerances can be consistently maintained to within a few microns.
CNC milling parts exhibit a high level of consistency in terms of size and dimensions, ensuring the smooth progression of assembly processes.
The accuracy of CNC milling parts is guaranteed through the precise setup of milling machines and the meticulous programming by engineers. The impact of human factors on the operator is minimal, resulting in a low error rate.
