Example of CNC milling machine shaping metal

Milling cutting metalworking process. Precision industrial CNC machining of metal detail by mill at factory

Vulcury supports digital manufacturing such as CNC milling through its procurement and shop management portals.

Advantages

Highly Accurate. Tolerances as low at 0.001".

Versatile. Multi-axis cutting allows for highly complex geometries.

Short-Run Efficient. Smaller volumes of product often price better.

High Tolerances and Fine Finishes.

Limitations

Significant Programming Needed. Depending on the part complexity and contours.

Additional Setups. Parts with features on all sides can require multiple setups and occasionally custom fixtures to hold the workpiece in place as it is cut by the milling tool.

Internal Features Cannot be Machined. If not visible or accessible by the tool.
