CNC Machining

CNC machining is a precision manufacturing process used to produce metal and plastic components with tight tolerances, excellent accuracy, and high design flexibility. It is especially suitable for prototyping, engineering validation, and low-volume production where speed, precision, and design freedom are critical.

At JC Casting, CNC machining is positioned as a supporting manufacturing process that complements investment casting,sand casting and die casting. It is primarily used for prototypes, functional testing, and low-to-medium volume production before or alongside mass-production processes.

What Is CNC Machining?

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process in which computer-controlled machines remove material from solid blocks to create finished parts. Common CNC processes include milling, turning, and multi-axis machining.

Because tool paths are digitally controlled, CNC machining delivers:

• High dimensional accuracy
• Excellent repeatability
• Flexibility for design changes
• Fast turnaround for prototypes and small batches

When CNC Machining Is the Right Choice

CNC machining is most suitable when:

• Parts require tight tolerances or precise geometry
• Production volumes are low to medium
• Designs may change during development
• Fast lead time is more important than tooling cost

It is widely used for functional prototypes, test fixtures, custom components, and early-stage production parts.

CNC Drilling

Drilling is the cutting process in which the workpiece does not move, making the cutter move, aligning the cutter center with the hole center, and making the cutter rotate. CNC Drilling is primarily done on CNC machines including CNC milling machines and lathes. CNC drilling service produces round holes, typically for machine screws and bolts. Drilling can process CNC drilling parts with metals, hard plastics, wood and most other rigid materials. There are several types of drilling machines available for CNC, including these drill presses: Upright, Bench and Radial. When in use, the step-by-step process for CNC drilling includes:

1. The operator uploads and accesses the computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) file.
2. The operator installs the appropriate drill bit and secures the designated material on the table.
3. The operator starts the drilling process through the control panel or interface.
4. The spindle lowers, drilling the appropriate hole sizes and diameters.

CNC Cutting

Unlike traditional cutting services, CNC cutting is a subtractive manufacturing method that uses a variety of different cutting technologies combined with computer numerical control software to remove excess materials from the block and create specific 2D or 3D shapes. Common CNC cutting machines and tools including laser, water jet, route, plasma, knife, etc. CNC cutting services provide products for aerospace, automotive, chemical, agriculture, military, defense, and more commercial and industrial applications. CNC cutting is widely applied due to its speed, precision and accuracy, as well as little human error. CNC cutting process can be performed alone or with other processes depending on the configuration and purposes.

CNC Cutting Types

CNC Plasma Cutting: a plasma cutting torch is usually used cut through various materials such as stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, etc., ideal for budget rapid prototyping, large pieces, extended jobs, more. It is the most affordable cutting option.

CNC Laser Cutting: a manufacturing process carried out by CNC laser cutters, lasers can cut a number of materials, even cut through the toughest metals and hardest gemstones with efficiency. It is also an extremely quick process to cut wood and plastic materials to create excellent cut edge quality and an exceptional level of detail. Laser cutting can produce intricate parts to high tolerances with a smooth surface finish.

CNC Waterjet Cutting: this process uses an ultra-high pressure stream of water to carry abrasive grit, which leaves a precise and smooth cut surface on the workpiece. Water jet cutting is the most versatile method to cut almost any material with good surface quality and no heat affected zone, but it is less efficiently compared to the other two cutting techniques
