O.D.Engineering is a CNC Machining Services company in Leicester serving clients throughout the East Midlands. We deliver high-grade CNC machined parts with various types of metal, polymer, and composites for the motorsport, food manufacturing, and aerospace industries.
What is CNC Machining?
CNC is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control, which is a production technique that utilises a computer to translate a CAD model into integers. These values are converted into smart sensors which are used to plan and control the operation of the CNC machine in question.
This results in a precise machine-controlled procedure for drilling, cutting, or shaping parts with maximum accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability to the same top standard.
A CNC system may appear to the untrained eye to be a standard set of computer equipment, but the software applications and panels used in CNC machining separate it from all other kinds of computing.
CNC machining is a quick, useful, and cost-effective approach to manufacturing high-quality parts for a number of enterprises and uses by grinding, lathing, milling, and routing in a streamlined system.
The Benefits of CNC Machining
CNC machining is used in many sectors to help with output since it simplifies the production processes. The following are some of the most significant advantages of CNC machining in manufacturing:
- Efficiency: Because computer systems are used to operate equipment, all main production activities may be mechanised to boost manufacturing performance and effectiveness.
- Precision: CNC machines are be programmed, and every aspect of the manufacturing process is input into the machine.
- Fabrication: Fabrication involves numerous processes such as welding metal sheets, shearing, punching holes, and flame cutting, all of which may be done safely using CNC machines. CNC allows for the fabrication of large machines to any design.
- Versatility: CNC machines are reprogrammable and versatile, making them an excellent choice for fabrication.
