The CNC Tooling Process From Start to Finish
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) tooling is an advanced manufacturing process that uses computer software to control the movement of cutting tools to shape and form raw material into a desired shape. Let’s take a closer look at the typical CNC tooling process:
Design and Programming
The first step in CNC tooling is designing the part or component using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Once the design is finalized, the CAD file is converted into a machine-readable format that can be used by the CNC machine. The machine is then programmed using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, which translates the design into a set of instructions that the CNC machine will use to cut the material.
Material Preparation
The next step is to prepare the raw material that will be used for the part or component. This may involve cutting the material to size or shaping it into the desired form using other manufacturing processes.
Loading the Material
The prepared material is then loaded into the CNC machine, which can be a milling machine or a lathe. The machine is programmed to move the cutting tools along specific paths and angles to shape the material into the desired shape.
Cutting and Shaping
Once the material is loaded and the program is started, the cutting tools move along the specified paths and cut away material to create the desired shape. The cutting tools used can be made of high-speed steel, tungsten carbide, or diamond, depending on the material being cut.
Finishing
Once the cutting and shaping process is complete, the part or component may require additional finishing operations such as polishing or deburring to remove any rough edges or imperfections.
Quality Control
The final step in the CNC tooling process is quality control. The finished part is inspected to ensure that it meets the required specifications and tolerances.
