What is CNC milling?
CNC milling stands for Computer Numerical Control milling. It is an automated production process in which a computer program is used to give a plastic a certain shape using precise movements of rotating tools.
Within BLW Kunststoffen, we use two different methods for milling our plastic products: 3-axis and 5-axis milling, with or without robot loading. 3-axis milling is mainly used for relatively simple plastic operations or for finishing specific products. On the other hand, 5-axis milling makes it possible to machine a product on five sides in one setup. Find out how these milling techniques are used within BLW Kunststoffen.
