In this video you’re going to learn what CNC machining is and how it works.

These are the topics we cover in the video:

0:47 First, you’ll learn what CNC machining is and how CNC machines operate.

1:03 Second, we’ll show you the basic process of CNC machining in 3 steps. Designing a CAD model, turning that CAD file into G-code, programming the CNC machine with the G-code and finally allowing the system to execute all machining operations.

1:30 Next, you will learn why CNC machining is a price-competitive manufacturing technology for one-off custom parts and medium-volume production.

1:55 Then, we’ll show you why CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing technology and what that means. The difference between CNC machining and other manufacturing technologies will also be explained.

2:52 Next, we’ll talk about some of the materials that can be CNC machined.

3:09 Finally, you’ll learn that with CNC machining you can create highly accurate parts with very tight tolerances.


This episode is the first in our online series: What is CNC machining? It’s specifically produced for engineers who want to learn more about the manufacturing technology. Our first video is meant to brush you up on the basics. However, in future episodes we will dive in a lot deeper and go into more detail. We will be talking about the different kinds of CNC machines, how to design for CNC machining, and the different materials that can be CNC machined. Subscribe and don’t miss out on those!
