CNC Milling Machines Market Overview
Computerized numerical control (CNC) milling machines are the most important machines for subtractive manufacturing, removing materials from the workpiece to create a finished product. This differs from additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, casting, or injection molding in which material is added to create a finished product. The process begins with a two- or three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) representation of the part to be produced. CAD guides the cutting process of the workpiece and precisely defines the measurements and requirements for the part. CNC milling was the first type of CNC process used in 1952 and can reshape various materials such as metal, glass, alloy, plastic, or wood. It is the most common CNC process and can be programmed to produce custom-designed parts to exact and accurate specifications. Presently, many market players offer a broad range of products with various specifications, sizes, and functionalities.
