Milling is a machining process involving the use of rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece.
Milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that employs rotary cutters, typically operated by a computer numerical control (CNC) machine, to remove material from a workpiece following a specific design. It is used to produce parts with precise dimensions and surface finishes in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where accuracy and efficiency are critical.
Milling a steel block to create a component for an automotive engine using a CNC milling machine with a spindle speed of 3000 RPM and feed rate of 500 mm/min (19.7 in/min).
Commonly used in automotive manufacturing plants to produce engine, transmission, and chassis components.
Using a milling machine to manufacture aluminum parts for aerospace applications, maintaining tolerances within ±0.01 mm (0.0004 in).
Applied in aerospace industries for manufacturing complex parts, where high precision and lightweight materials are used.
