CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining has revolutionized the metal and plastic shaping industry. APPORO Industries Corporation offers CNC metal and plastic machining services for a wide variety of applications.

In the past, traditional metal and plastic forming processes involved building dies or toolings, which needed to be meticulously designed and tooled. Some of these dies or toolings were used to stamp metal into various profiles, while others were for metal die casting or plastic injection molding. With the introduction of CNC Turning and Milling machines, the creation of dies and retooling assemblies has become an alternative option for precision machining. CNC machining involves programming design codes into machines, allowing them to create multiple different parts from the same blank sheet or rod of metal and plastic with exacting precision and minimal tolerance.

The first NC (Numerical Control) machines were developed in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing lathe machines that were modified with motors to move the controls according to points fed into the system via punched tape.

CNC machines began to be widely used in metal and plastic machining services a few decades ago. Today, CNC milling and CNC lathe machines are among the most versatile and valued tools in the modern precision machining industry.

There are several benefits to using CNC milling and turning machining services:

1. Instant Production
   In many cases, CNC precision parts can be produced almost instantly to meet urgent prototyping or First Article Inspection (FAI) requirements.
    
2. Cost Savings
   Due to the rapid production capabilities of CNC precision machining, the need for stock inventory can often be eliminated, especially for specialized purposes. This leads to significant cost reductions, and generally, there are no mold or jig charges required.
    
3. Safety
   Automated CNC production keeps our operators out of harm's way, ensuring a much safer work environment.
    
4. Accuracy
   Because CNC cutting tools are controlled by a computer, our CNC lathe and milling machines can achieve tolerances within 0.002 mm, provided the conditions of the spinning material on the CNC machines are optimized for the cutting process.
