3-Axis CNC machining is one of the most widely used processing technique. During the process, the rotary cutter will work along x-axis, y-axis, z-axis. It is a relatively simple CNC machining method, and can be used for products with simple structure, but 3-axis CNC machining parts are not suitable for parts with complex geometric shape or parts with subassembly.
3-Axis CNC Machining Parts
3-Axis CNC machining is one of the most widely used processing technique. During the process, the rotary cutter will work along x-axis, y-axis, z-axis. It is a relatively simple CNC machining method, and can be used for products with simple structure, but 3-axis CNC machining parts are not suitable for parts with complex geometric shape or parts with subassembly.
The process of 3-Axis CNC machining parts can be made automatically or interactively, completing slot milling, drilling and cutting. Because the process is made along three axes, work can be done vertically, longitudinally and latitudinally.
3-Axis CNC machining parts is common in plate-shaped parts. Multi axis machine are not suitable for simple-structured parts. Adequate evaluation of the workpiece needs to be considered before choosing appropriate machine, like the requirement of size and precision.
