What is precision sheet metal fabrication?
Precision sheet metal fabrication refers to some of the exact same methods and techniques as “non-precision” but to a closer degree of tolerance. This will sometimes take the design engineer more time to look at the material properties, stretch calculations, grain direction, and other in-depth research in order to obtain the precision needed.
What is CNC milling?
What is CNC milling and how does this subtractive manufacturing process work? This article explores how CNC milling machines work, what kinds of parts you can provide with milling, and the best design practices for getting the most out of this type of CNC machining.
What is anodizing and how does it work?
What is anodizing? Anodizing is key to finishing parts made from aluminum and other metals. Learn how anodizing works and why it is an important part of CNC machining and manufacturing.

What is CNC?
By definition CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) means controlling a machine tool or other device automatically by a computer instead of direct manipulation by an operator. Machine tools, on the other hand, use different processes like milling or turning for a piece of raw material to produce a ready workpiece – this is often called discrete manufacturing. It’s notable that the first NC-machines in 1940s and 1950s used paper tape or punched cards to control the motion. ‘NC’ turned ‘CNC’ only after computers were introduced as controllers in the 1960s. The programming language that turns an NC-program – information – into precise machine tool movements is called G-code.
