What is CNC Machining

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines to remove material from a solid block (known as stock) to create precise parts according to digital design specifications.
 
This process enables the machine to accurately carry out tasks such as cutting, drilling, milling, and turning to shape materials into specific forms based on a 3D design or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) model.

How Does CNC Machining Work

The CNC machining process follows a systematic workflow that transforms digital designs into physical components with exceptional accuracy:

Design creation using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software

Conversion to machine instructions via Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software

Generation of G-code that controls machine movements

Setup of workpiece and cutting tools in the CNC machine

Automated machining process with minimal human intervention

Quality inspection and finishing operations

Special CNC Machining

Precision Swiss Machining

Swiss machining represents the pinnacle of precision for small, complex components where tolerances and surface finish are critical.
At Fecision, we've mastered this specialized process to deliver exceptional results across medical, aerospace, automotive, and electronics applications.

Tight Tolerances

Our Swiss machining capabilities routinely achieve tolerances of ±0.0001" (2.5 microns) on diameter and ±0.0002" (5 microns) on length, with surface finishes as fine as 16 Ra microinches. For specific applications, even tighter tolerances may be possible.

Material Selection

Material selection significantly impacts Swiss machining results. The process requires high-quality bar stock with consistent diameter and straightness. Our materials experts can recommend optimal materials for your application, balancing machinability, mechanical properties, and cost considerations.

Whether you’re designing a new product that requires tight-tolerance components or looking to improve an existing design, our Swiss machining expertise can help you achieve superior results. Our engineering team works closely with you from concept to completion, ensuring your parts meet or exceed specifications while optimizing for manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.

CNC Machining Design Guidelines

Optimize your designs for CNC machining to reduce costs, improve quality, and ensure manufacturability:

General Design Recommendations

  • Design with uniform wall thickness when possible
  • Avoid sharp internal corners; use fillets with minimum radius of 1/3 the depth
  • Maintain minimum wall thickness of 0.8mm (0.031″) for metals and 1.5mm (0.059″) for plastics
  • Design parts to be machined from standard stock sizes
  • Consider tool access and workholding requirements
CNC Machining Products 2

Feature-Specific Guidelines

  • Minimum hole diameter should be at least 1/3 of the depth
  • Maintain minimum thread engagement of 1.5× the diameter
  • Avoid deep pockets with small corner radii
  • Design undercuts to be accessible by standard tools
  • Specify critical dimensions and tolerances clearly
