CNC Milling

Milling machines operate on multiple axes (such as 3-, 4-, or 5-axis setups) to achieve intricate designs and high precision. CNC milling is widely used in manufacturing for applications that require complex shapes, tight tolerances, and a high degree of accuracy.

At The Exact Group we can manufacture your required part in the most cost-effective and timely fashion using our expansive and ever-increasing range of CNC machines. Whether it is manufacturing one component or thousands of components, we offer our customers a tailored solution in the machining process.

The key benefits of CNC milling:

• Offering high precision and accuracy, CNC milling machines produce parts with tight tolerances, ideal for industries requiring exact specifications.
• Multi-axis CNC milling enables the creation of intricate and complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve manually.
• Computer-controlled machining ensures repeatable, uniform results across large production runs, reducing variability and defects, providing consistent quality.
• CNC milling automates the machining process, increasing efficiency, reducing production time and labour costs, especially for large batches.
• Precise control minimises material waste, optimising resource usage and reducing production costs.
• CNC milling works with various materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites, making it suitable for many applications.
• CNC milling allows rapid production of prototypes, enabling faster design validation and iteration.
• Automation reduces manual labour, minimising worker exposure to potentially hazardous machinery.

The industries that use CNC milling:

• Aerospace and Space: CNC milling produces high-precision components like turbine blades, airframes, and engine parts, which require strict tolerances and complex shapes.
• Automotive: Used to manufacture engine parts, transmission housings, and custom components with consistent quality and durability.
• Medical: CNC milling creates precise, biocompatible parts for implants, surgical instruments, and medical devices.
• Manufacturing: CNC milling is used to produce machine components, moulds, and fixtures for efficient production.
• Defence: High-precision parts for firearms, military vehicles, and defence systems are often CNC-milled to meet strict specifications.
• Energy: CNC milling produces parts for renewable energy equipment, such as wind turbine components and solar panel mounts.
• Marine: Complex, corrosion-resistant parts for boats and marine engines are milled for durability in harsh environments.
