What Steps Are Taken To Minimize Waste In CNC Machining Processes?
Design optimization, material management, strategic machining, tool maintenance, and waste recycling minimize waste in CNC machining. Waste in CNC machining refers to surplus or residual material produced during the machining process. Waste can take many different forms, including chips, shavings, scraps, and leftover material. The residue left behind after material is removed to form and produce the required pieces or components is known as waste in CNC machining. Reducing waste is crucial for maximi......

What is CNC Milling? Process, Advantages, and Applications
CNC milling is motion, metal, and math working in a computerized rhythm. You start with a block of raw material, feed the machine a few lines of code, and let it carve reality from coordinates. That’s the beauty of it: absolute precision, repeatable down to microns, yet flexible enough to shape anything from aerospace brackets to tiny medical implants. Most engineers know the end result, a perfect part, but not always the mechanics behind it. What actually happens between the model on your screen and ......

Desktop 5-Axis CNC Machine: Own One or Outsource to Industrial Services?
There’s a big gap between running a desktop 5-axis CNC in your shop and sending parts to an industrial-grade machine service. Both can cut complex geometry, both look impressive on paper, but they live in very different worlds. Desktop machines are smaller, cheaper, and easier to experiment with, but they come with limits. Industrial setups are heavier, faster, and built to hold accuracy under pressure. The question isn’t just about price; it’s about how much risk you want to own. At JLCCNC, we’ve see......

3-Axis CNC Milling: The Cornerstone of Precision Manufacturing
Precision is a vital element of today's manufacturing. You need good equipment for good results. The 3-axis CNC machine has been in use for decades in countless workshops and factories. While newer multi-axis machines are able to handle complex designs, 3-axis CNC milling is still very important in precision manufacturing. For instance, it offers repeatable accuracy, proven reliability, and low-cost manufacturing solutions. However, before selecting 3-axis CNC milling, it is important to understand th......

AI for CNC Machining: How to Use AI in CNC Machining
Why AI in CNC Machining Is a Big Deal (Freepik) CNC machining has always been about precision. You feed in a design, the machine executes, and you get a part that matches your specs, at least, that's the goal. But anyone who's spent time around mills or lathes knows it isn't that simple. Tools wear out, materials behave differently, and a hundred little variables can throw you off. AI is here to make the work smoother, not replace machinists. In CNC shops, it can spot when a tool's starting to wear, a......

9 Sheet Metal Cutting Problems and Solutions
Ask any metal shop foreman, and they’ll tell you, cutting is where problems start if your setup isn’t dialed in. Burn marks, warped sheets, rough edges, and mismatched dimensions don’t just mess up the part, they snowball into delays, rework, and scrap loss. Whether you’re using a high-powered sheet metal cutting machine, a CNC system for metal cutting, or precision laser cutting, one small parameter off can mean the difference between a clean cut and a ruined sheet. In this guide, we’ll break down 9 ......
