Computer numerical control (CNC) machines are automated control mechanical tools that can drill, lathe, mill, and 3D print materials based on computer-generated models. These models follow the specifications necessary to manufacture unique or oddly shaped products, like tabletop dice, musical instruments, and wood fabrications. Here are some of the most common applications for CNC machines.
Wood Manufacturing
Wood manufacturers use CNC machines in their daily operations. They use turning, milling, and grinding machines to create lumber and other wood products. In fact, milling machines are some of the most commonly used types of CNC machines in the industry. Milling machines use multipoint cutting tools that rotate to mold and shape wood into the desired product, like cabinets, furniture, and more.
Plastic Molding
Drilling, rotating, and cutting CNC tools mold plastics into their desired results. They do so with incredible precision and accuracy. CNC tools can mold plastics into both large and minuscule shapes and sizes. Plasma cutting ensures a quick, precise cut through thick materials without residual effects. For example, many 3D printers use CNC routers and plasmas to scan, copy, engineer, and reverse-engineer components and accelerate project times.
Musical Instruments
Musical instruments are some of the most common applications for CNC machines. They require precise, intricate detail that manufacturers must ensure in an effective, timely manner. For specific, unique instruments, CNC machines meet exact specifications and dimensions that handmade manufacturers may struggle to achieve. These instruments reach a range of sounds or pitches due to the high-quality specifications that CNC machines produce.
Computers and Electronics
CNC machines excel at computer and electronics manufacturing. The critical drilling ensures sufficient drilling for delicate parts. For electronics, CNC machines may use electrical discharges to fabricate electrodes needed to carve into certain materials. These electrical discharge machines manufacture tabletop dice and other items of specific shapes and sizes.
