CNC machining refers to Computer Numerical Control, a system that uses computers to control and move a machine. Most often these milling tools are used for metalwork, but they can also make products for a variety of industries.

With the ability to craft sophisticated designs using an assortment of metals, engineers can fabricate precise communications equipment using CNC machining.

Milling is a machining process used to machine various materials such as metal, wood, and plastics. It is also considered one of the most common machining processes available. Milling involves removing material from a workpiece using a rotating cutting tool typically mounted on a spindle—the cutting tool moves along multiple axes, creating the desired shape and dimensions on the workpiece.
