What is CNC milling?
CNC milling uses rotational cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece to produce finished parts and products. This manufacturing process works well for many materials, including metals, polymers, wood and glass. CNC milling systems generally have 3 linear degrees of freedom: the
X, Y and Z axis. This allows for top-notch precision and detailing. Hubs also offers more advanced, 5-degree systems, where the tool head and machining bed (A andBaxis)canalsorotate.5axisCNCmachinescanproduce parts with high geometric complexity without needing multiple machinesetups.
Plastics A wide range of plastics for CNC machining, withapplications in multiple industries. ldeal for both one-offprototypes and end-use custom parts.
Description | General Tolerance or Standard |
---|---|
Maximum Part Size | Milled parts up to 80” x 48” x 24” (2,032 x 1,219 x 610 mm). |
Distance Dimensions | For features of size (Length, width, height, diameter) and location (position, concentricity, symmetry) +/- 0.005”. |
Orientation and Form Dimensions | 0-12" +/- 0.005", Angularity 1/2 degree. For 24" and beyond please consult Xometry's Manufacturing Standards. |
Precision Tolerances | Xometry can manufacture and inspect to tight tolerances per your drawing specifications including GD&T callouts. |
Minimum Feature Size | 0.020” (0.50 mm). This may vary depending on part geometry and chosen material. |
Threads and Tapped Holes | Xometry can accommodate any standard thread size. We can also machine custom threads; these will require a manual quote review. |
Surface Finish | The standard finish is as-machined: 125 Ra or better. Additional finishing options can be specified when getting a quote. |
Edge Condition | Sharp edges will be broken and deburred by default. Critical edges that must be left sharp should be noted and specified on a print. |
