CNC milling is one of the most popular types of CNC machining processes.In a CNC milling machine, rotating cutting tools move relative to the workpiece to remove material. The cutting tool ( the milling tool) is fixed on a spindle that can rotate. The rotation and movement of the spindle give CNC milling machines the ability to perform three or more axes milling operations.
Multi-axis CNC Milling allows parts with multiple surfaces to be machined quickly and easily. Parts requiring good flatness and accurate complex curved surfaces can be produced easily.
CNC Milling, perfect for custom milling, is widely adopted for low to medium-volume metal and plastic parts that require high strength and dimensional accuracy.
What materials are used in investment casting?
Successful high-quality milling is a combination of three elements:
CNC allows for extremely close control of these elements. Computer system reads design information directly from an engineer’s drawings or models, eliminating possibilities for error between design and production.
The CNC milling process takes directions in customized software codes such as NC code, G-code, and ISO code, all converted straight from a project’s CAM or CAD designs. The codes are then translated into the machine’s controls, which run along at least two axes (X and Y), in addition to the tool spindle running in the depth, or Z, axis. Some machining centers allow for controls on up to five unique axes.

ANODIZING
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances metals' corrosion resistance, durability, and appearance, particularly aluminum.
BLACK OXIDE COATING
Get functional and aesthetic benefits in one with Black Oxide surface finishing. It's a matte black finish that also adds protection to metals, reducing corrosion and wear over time.
POLISHING
we enhance the visual appeal of components by providing a smooth and reflective finish with polishing services. Polished surfaces can also serve as excellent bases for coatings, providing better adhesion and a more uniform finish.
ELECTROPOLISHING
Electropolishing enhances the corrosion resistance of metal by removing impurities and creating a clean, passive surface.
BEAD BLASTING
We can effectively remove rust, paint, scale, and other contaminants from various surfaces using bead blasting. Get a uniform and matte finish on surfaces to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the material.
MEDIA BLASTING
We commonly use media blasting in restoration projects to clean and rejuvenate surfaces without causing damage. We can effectively remove years of grime, corrosion, or coatings from historical or vintage items.
NICKEL PLATING
A uniform thickness and smooth finish contribute to an aesthetically pleasing appearance and consistent protective qualities. We ensure our process results in materials that can withstand friction and abrasion for a longer lifespan. Trust our nickel plating service!
ZINC PLATING
The compatibility of zinc plating with various materials adds to its appeal, while its ease of application and established use make it a readily available option.
ELECTROLESS NICKEL
DEZE offers electroless nickel plating with adjustable hardness levels, can be engineered to be non-magnetic, adheres tightly to substrates, and the thickness is precisely controllable.
HEAT TREATMENT
Improve the physical and mechanical properties of materials through heat treatment. Improve hardness, increase strength, enhance toughness, stress relief, and more.
LASER MARKING
We provide high precision and accuracy, enabling intricate designs, fine details, and small text to be marked clearly on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and more.
POWDER COATING
Get a resilient finish that is resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. Powder coating is your low-cost, eco-friendly finish that has long-term benefits, including reduced maintenance and enhanced longevity
PVD COATING
We offer a wide range of decorative finishes with PVD coating, including various colors and aesthetic effects. This process can also make materials more resistant to wear, abrasion, and scratching.
PASSIVATION
We form a thin, inert layer on the material's surface that protects it from environmental factors that could lead to corrosion. Passivation is commonly used in metals like stainless steel and aluminum.
These features make CNC milling an ideal choice for manufacturing high-precision parts across various industries.
CNC Milling is mainly realized by rotating and moving the tool on the surface of the workpiece and is often used to process flat, curved surfaces and complex shapes of parts, such as gears, molds, parts shells, and so on.
CNC Turning is mainly realized by rotating the workpiece and cutting with the tool on the workpiece and is often used to process cylindrical-shaped parts, such as shafts, bearings, threads, etc.
Turning and Milling Similarities
Both processes, turning and milling, use subtractive manufacturing to remove unwanted material, producing waste chips. They differ in stock material, machining methods, and tools but both utilize advanced CNC technology. Engineers program the machines using CAD software, reducing supervision and minimizing human error, which enhances speed and reliability for consistent quality.
Turning and milling are suitable for metals like aluminum, steel, brass, copper, and titanium, as well as various thermoplastics. However, they are not suitable for materials like rubber and silicone (too soft) or ceramic (too hard).
Both techniques generate heat and often use cutting fluid to manage this issue.
