CNC Milling

What is CNC Milling

CNC milling is one of the most commonly used CNC machining method, it is under computer-controlled to create precise parts by removing material from a solid block (metal, plastic, or composite) to create precise parts.

Types of CNC Milling

  • 3-axis milling – simple, cost-effective parts
  • 4-axis milling – adds rotation for complex sides
  • 5-axis milling – complex geometries, undercuts, high precision
Not only for the simple parts, TEAM MFG also has CNC milling capabilites to handle even the most complex shapes and geometries plastic and metal parts with ease.

Advantages of Compound Machining

Applications of Compound Machining

What Is Compound Machining

Compound machining(people also call it multi-process machining), it refers to:
  •  Performing two or more machining processes on the same machine without the operator needing to move or "re-clamp" the part. The process is benefits to improve accuracy, reducing mistake by handing, and shorten lead-time.
 Combining different machining methods to make a part manufacturing more efficiently and more precisely in a single workflow.

Types of Machines Used


 CNC Turning Centers with Milling Capability – Combines turning and milling.
 5-Axis CNC Machines – Can perform complex milling, drilling, and contouring operations in one setup.
 Multi-Tasking Machines (MTM) – Machines designed specifically for compound operations.

How Compound Machining Works

Compound machining is an advanced manufacturing process that combines multiple machining operations into a single setup. This method is particularly useful for complex parts that require high precision and multiple types of operations, such as milling, drilling, turning, or tapping. By integrating these processes, compound machining improves efficiency, reduces handling errors, and ensures consistent tolerances.

Key Steps in the Process
1. Design and Planning 
2. Sequential Operations in One Setup
A, Turning & Milling
B, Drilling & Tapping
C, Surface Finishing
3. Tool Changes & Automation 
4. Inspection & Quality Control

What is CNC Machining

CNC machining is a manufacturing process that imputs computer program into the machine to control the movement of tools, to cut, shape, and from raw materials like metal, plastic, or wood into finished parts.

 

Key Points in CNC Machining：

  • CNC = Computer-Controlled: Instead of manual operation, machines follow G-code or M-code instructions created from digital designs (CAD/CAM files).
  • High Precision and Repeatability: CNC machines can make complex parts with tight tolerances and repeat the process exactly, thousands of times.
  • Types of CNC Machines:
 CNC Mills – Cut and drill using rotating tools.
 CNC Lathes – Spin the material while a cutting tool shapes it.
 CNC Grinding – Precise to cut hard metals.
 EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) – Cuts using electric sparks.

How CNC Machining Works

By learning how CNC machining works, the designers can determine if choose CNC machining as the right process when comparing with other methods like injection molding, 3D printing, pressure die casting. It also highlights the capabilities of CNC, including achievable tolerances, surface finishes, and material options, which sets realistic expectations for part quality. Learning the workflow to know the status of machining, and what next step will be:

1. Design The Part

 
Designers/ Engineers use the 3D CAD software to create a 3D model with exact shape, dimensions, features, and sent it to manufacturers to make it.

2. Convert to Machine Code(CAM)

 
Manufacturers import the CAD file into CAM(Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software, and generates G-code that tells CNC machine what direction, how fast, how deep to cut, and so on.

3. Set-up the Machine

 
The operator secures the raw material (also called a workpiece) onto the CNC machine bed or fixture.
Correct tools (cutters, drills, etc.) are installed in the spindle.
 
 
3. Machine the Part
 
Following up with the G-code, the machine automatically move the cutting tool, and the workpiece. CNC machining operations typically are milling(cutting away material), turning(roating the part), drilling, boring, and more.
4. Finishing
 
After machining, parts may undergo deburring, surface finishing, or heat treatment. Typically, we can see the requirements on 2D drawings remarks.
5. Inspection
 
Final parts are inspected for accuracy and quality using tools like CMMs (coordinate measuring machines).

Cost Comparison: China vs. Western Market

China offers substantially lower machining costs due to significantly lower labor, material, and operational expenses. In fact, machining in China can cost as little as 20–40% of equivalent costs in the U.S. even after shipping and tariffs are accounted for.

Why China Is Cheaper — Insights from Industry Users

“In China, we would get parts at 1/10th or less than it would cost in North America.”
“Prices are from 1/4 to 1/2 what you would pay in the US.”
“Turnaround was faster—even with air shipment.”
------- From Reddit

These savings are often attributed to:
 Government subsidies and favorable labor costs
 Competitive raw material pricing and streamlined supply chains
​​​​​​​ Massive scale and manufacturing infrastructure

Tips to Reduce Costs

 Simplify part geometry and avoid unnecessary tight tolerances
 Choose cost-effective materials when possible
 Leverage batch production for better per-unit pricing
​​​​​​​ Negotiate or opt for fixed-price quotes when budget-sensitive

CNC Machining FAQs

Horizontal cnc machining services / CNC Milling / CNC Turning / CNC Grinding

  • How to Choose Between 3-Axis, 4-Axis, and 5-Axis CNC Milling


    		Best for Pros Limitations
    3-Axis CNC Milling

    • Flat or relatively simple parts

    • Straightforward profiles, pockets, and holes

    • Components with features accessible from only one side

    • Lower cost per part compared to 4- or 5-axis

    • Shorter setup times for basic jobs

    • Ideal for high-volume production of simpler geometries

    • Cannot efficiently machine features on multiple faces in one setup

    • Complex geometries require multiple setups, increasing lead time
    4-Axis CNC Milling

    • Parts needing features on multiple sides without repositioning

    • Cylindrical or spiral machining (e.g., gears, cams, turbine components)

    • Engraving or machining around a part

    • Can rotate workpiece on A or B axis for side machining

    • Reduces setups vs. 3-axis, improving accuracy and efficiency

    • Good balance between complexity handling and cost

    • Still limited for very complex freeform surfaces

    • More expensive than 3-axis machining
     5-Axis CNC Milling

    • Highly complex, contoured parts (e.g., aerospace, medical implants, high-performance automotive)

    • Multi-face features and undercuts in a single setup

    • Tight tolerances on complex geometry

    • Machine almost any surface in a single setup, reducing error

    • Ideal for lightweight designs requiring strength (optimized material use)

    • Capable of machining deep cavities and intricate shapes

    • Higher cost per hour due to machine sophistication

    • Programming is more complex and requires skilled operators

    Pro Tip:

    If your design requires multiple faces, deep cavities, or complex curves, 5-axis will often save money in total project cost despite higher hourly rates—because fewer setups mean fewer errors and faster completion.
    For simpler parts, 3-axis is the most economical, and 4-axis is the sweet spot for medium complexity.
