Now that you've recognized what a CNC machine can do and how it works, let's get down to the gist. Start carving on your machine and then wait for your job to be done.
Export the G-code to your CNC machine. The G-code will instruct the machine on how to move. 
Turn the model file into a G-code using CAM software (such as Snapmaker Luban and Fusion 360).
Obtain a model, either by modeling yourself or downloading from model repositories. Typically, it takes three steps to turn an idea into a finished product: Next, let's look at the workflow of CNC carving. Technically, you can even build a house through CNC machining with quite some assembling, not to mention toy cars, ukulele, PCB… Compared to 3D printing, aka additive manufacturing, CNC machining is fundamentally different since it chips material off a blank workpiece instead of adding material to build a part.Ĭases made with Snapmaker CNC Module & Rotary Module What can you do with a CNC machine?ĬNC machining can work with a wide range of materials, including plastic, wood, jade, and metal. The process involves removing material from a solid workpiece with cutting tools to achieve the desired shape. CNC machining is a common subtractive manufacturing technology. What is CNC machining?ĬNC stands for "Computer Numerical Control". To begin with, let's go through some basic concepts of CNC machining. Hopefully, this article will help you in taking the first stride. Here are 11 resources websites that will inspire you and provide access to model files, complemented by a series of tutorial videos. So, what do you want to create with your Snapmaker CNC Module? On top of that, as the owner of the Snapmaker 3-in-1 3D Printer, with its three interchangeable functions – 3D printing, laser engraving and cutting, and CNC carving – you're empowered with more than one key to unlock the door from imagination to reality. You probably already know that makers' world is full of possibilities.
