Five Axis Milling, CNC Milling or Traditional Milling
Like most manufacturing techniques, milling is an old and reliable method that has seen significant development over the past decades. Before the rise of computer numerical control (CNC), most manufacturers relied on conventional machines that they hand-operated in order to shape various materials into usable parts. However, as computers grew more sophisticated, CNC mills quickly took the manufacturing industry by storm in the latter half of the twentieth century. Thanks to the exponential growth of technology, it quickly developed into the much more complex five-axis technology in use by many manufacturers today.
