Description:
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling is a machining process that utilizes computerized controls to manage the movement and operation of multi-point rotary cutting tools. As the tools rotate and move across the surface of the workpiece, they slowly remove excess material to achieve the desired shape and size.
For a part to be CNC milled it must be drawn in CAD software such as Fusion 360, Solidworks, Sketchup, etc. If a CAD file cannot be provided by the requester a CAD model can be made at a CAD design rate starting of $50/hr. This includes time to discuss the specifics of the part to be designed in CAD. If a CAD model is provided, CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing) paths must still be programmed.
If the part requires specialized tools to produce an additional fee will be charged, shop supplies will be charged for all jobs, they cover the cost of consumables used in the machining process.
