What is CNC machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines to precisely remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape or part. It is commonly used for manufacturing metal and plastic parts with high precision and repeatability in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical.
