CNC Cutting
CNC Cutting is a way to shape and cut materials using a computer to guide the machine. In material production, CNC Cutting can use different tools on the same machine without stopping the process. This means a designer can plan a project where the machine drills, carves, and slices in one go, making it easy to create detailed parts from wood, metal, or plastic. The machine can follow very detailed instructions, so even complex patterns and shapes come out exactly as planned. This helps designers make things that fit together perfectly, like puzzle pieces, and helps save material because the cuts are very precise.
