What Is 3-Axis CNC Machining?
3-Mecanizado CNC de ejes is a foundational manufacturing tecnología that uses three orthogonal linear axes (incógnita, Y, z) to shape raw materials into 3D parts. Unlike manual machining or 2-axis systems (limited to flat surfaces), it relies on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) to automate tool movement along three dimensions:
- X-Axis: Left/right horizontal movement (across the machine bed).
- Y-Axis: Forward/backward horizontal movement (perpendicular to the X-axis).
- Z-Axis: Up/down vertical movement (controls the cutting tool’s depth into the material).
El descripción general del proceso is intuitive: A CNC system interprets a digital design (archivo CAD) to generate instructions for the machine. The cutting tool (p.ej., molino, perforar) moves along the X/Y/Z axes to remove material from the workpiece, creating features like holes, tragamonedas, or curved surfaces.
To explain “how it works” simply: Imagine a high-precision drill that can move left/right, forward/backward, and up/down—all guided by a computer. Por ejemplo, when making a plastic electronics enclosure, the machine first uses the X/Y axes to position the tool, then the Z-axis to cut the enclosure’s outline, and finally repeats the process to add holes for ports. This simplicity, paired with automation, makes 3-Mecanizado CNC de ejes the workhorse of modern manufacturing.

The 3-Axis CNC Machining Process (Paso a paso)
Nuestro proceso paso a paso is optimized for efficiency and precision, guiding your project from design to finished part:
- Design and CAD Modeling: We start by reviewing your CAD model (or creating one from sketches). Our engineers optimize the design for 3-axis machining—e.g., ensuring 3D features are accessible via X/Y/Z movements (avoiding undercuts that require more axes). Para prototipos, we offer free design feedback to improve manufacturability.
- CAM Programming: The CAD model is imported into CAM software (cámara maestra, SolidWorks CAM), where we generate tool paths—the exact routes the cutting tool will take along the X/Y/Z axes. We select tools based on material (p.ej., carbide end mills for titanium) and program speeds/feeds to balance precision and efficiency.
- Setup and Calibration: The workpiece is secured to the machine bed using custom diseño de accesorios (p.ej., vises for small parts, clamps for large sheets). We calibrate the X/Y/Z axes using laser measuring tools to ensure alignment—critical for consistent results. Cutting tools are loaded into the machine’s tool changer, y coolant systems are activated.
- Machining Execution: The CNC system runs the CAM program, automating tool movement along the X/Y/Z axes. Por ejemplo, when milling an aluminum bracket, the tool first moves along X/Y to outline the part, then uses the Z-axis to cut pockets and drill holes. Our operators monitor the process in real time to adjust coolant flow or tool speeds if needed.
Post-Machining Inspection: Después del mecanizado, parts undergo rigorous checks. We use CMMs (Máquinas de medición de coordenadas) to verify dimensions against the CAD model, check surface finish with profilometers, and ensure tolerances are met. Parts requiring finishing move to desbarbado o pulido pasos.

- Molienda: The most common 3-axis technique—uses rotating end mills to remove material. Ofrecemos:
- Face Milling: Cuts flat surfaces (p.ej., aluminum panel tops) using large-diameter end mills.
- Pocket Milling: Creates recessed areas (p.ej., plastic enclosure cavities) by cutting along X/Y while lowering the Z-axis.
- Contour Milling: Shapes 3D curves (p.ej., automotive dash parts) by synchronizing X/Y/Z movements.
- Torneado: Para piezas cilíndricas (p.ej., brass connectors), we combine 3-axis milling with turning—rotating the part while cutting its outer diameter via X/Z axes.
- Drilling/Boring: Uses twist drills (para agujeros) and boring tools (for precision hole finishing). We use peck drilling (Z-axis moves up/down to clear chips) para agujeros profundos (up to 100mm in steel).
- Optimización de la ruta de la herramienta: CAM software helps us create efficient paths—e.g., “zig-zag milling” (fast for large surfaces) and “spiral milling” (smooth for 3D curves).
- Herramientas de corte: We select tools based on material:
- herramientas de carburo: For hard metals (titanio, acero) and composites—durable and heat-resistant.
- High-speed steel (HSS) herramientas: For plastics, madera, and brass—sharp and cost-effective.
Diamond-coated tools: For acrylic and wood—prevents chipping and ensures smooth finishes.
- Coolant Systems: We use two primary coolant types to optimize machining:
- Flood Coolant: For high-volume metal machining (p.ej., aluminum brackets)—covers the tool and workpiece to reduce heat, extend tool life, and improve surface finish.
- Mist Coolant: For precision work on non-metals (p.ej., acrylic signage) and small parts (p.ej., medical screws)—delivers a fine mist to avoid coolant residue while preventing overheating.
Fixture Design: Custom fixtures (3D-printed or machined) secure parts during machining—critical for consistency. Por ejemplo, we use vacuum fixtures for thin acrylic sheets (prevents warping) and vice grips with soft jaws for brass parts (avoids scratches).
