What Is 3-Axis CNC Machining?

3-Axis CNC Usinage is a foundational manufacturing technologie that uses three orthogonal linear axes (X, Oui, Z) to shape raw materials into 3D parts. Unlike manual machining or 2-axis systems (limité aux surfaces planes), 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).​

Le Aperçu du processus is intuitive: A CNC system interprets a digital design (Dossier CAO) to generate instructions for the machine. The cutting tool (Par exemple, moulin, percer) moves along the X/Y/Z axes to remove material from the workpiece, creating features like holes, machines à sous, or curved surfaces.​

To explain “Comment ça marche” simply: Imagine a high-precision drill that can move left/right, forward/backward, and up/down—all guided by a computer. Par exemple, 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-Axis CNC Usinage the workhorse of modern manufacturing.

The 3-Axis CNC Machining Process (Étape par étape)

Notre processus étape par étape is optimized for efficiency and precision, guiding your project from design to finished part:​

1. Conception et modélisation CAO: Nous commençons par examiner votre modèle CAO (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). Pour les prototypes, we offer free design feedback to improve manufacturability.​

2. Programmation de came: Le modèle CAO est importé dans le logiciel CAM (Mastercam, FAO SolidWorks), where we generate chemins d'outils—the exact routes the cutting tool will take along the X/Y/Z axes. We select tools based on material (Par exemple, carbide end mills for titanium) and program speeds/feeds to balance precision and efficiency.​

3. Configuration et calibrage: The workpiece is secured to the machine bed using custom conception de luminaire (Par exemple, 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, et systèmes de refroidissement are activated.​

4. Exécution d'usinage: The CNC system runs the CAM program, automating tool movement along the X/Y/Z axes. Par exemple, 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.​

Inspection après usinage: Après l'usinage, parts undergo rigorous checks. Nous utilisons CMMS (Coordonner les machines de mesure) to verify dimensions against the CAD model, check surface finish with profilometers, and ensure tolerances are met. Parts requiring finishing move to débarquant ou polissage mesures.

Techniques de fabrication avancées

To maximize 3-axis performance, Nous utilisons de la pointe techniques d'usinage and optimized processes:​

• Fraisage: The most common 3-axis technique—uses rotating end mills to remove material. Nous offrons:​

• Face Milling: Cuts flat surfaces (Par exemple, aluminum panel tops) using large-diameter end mills.​

• Pocket Milling: Creates recessed areas (Par exemple, plastic enclosure cavities) by cutting along X/Y while lowering the Z-axis.​

• Fraisage de contours: Shapes 3D curves (Par exemple, automotive dash parts) by synchronizing X/Y/Z movements.​

• Tournant: Pour les pièces cylindriques (Par exemple, 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 (Pour les trous) and boring tools (for precision hole finishing). We use peck drilling (Z-axis moves up/down to clear chips) pour des trous profonds (up to 100mm in steel).​

• Optimisation du chemin d'outil: CAM software helps us create efficient paths—e.g., “zig-zag milling” (fast for large surfaces) and “spiral milling” (smooth for 3D curves).​

• Outils de coupe: We select tools based on material:​

• Outils en carbure: Pour les métaux durs (titane, acier) and composites—durable and heat-resistant.​

• Acier à grande vitesse (HSS) outils: Pour les plastiques, bois, and brass—sharp and cost-effective.​

Outils enrobés de diamant: For acrylic and wood—prevents chipping and ensures smooth finishes.​

• Systèmes de liquide de refroidissement: We use two primary coolant types to optimize machining:​

• Flood Coolant: For high-volume metal machining (Par exemple, supports en aluminium)—covers the tool and workpiece to reduce heat, extend tool life, and improve surface finish.​

• Mist Coolant: For precision work on non-metals (Par exemple, acrylic signage) and small parts (Par exemple, vis médicales)—delivers a fine mist to avoid coolant residue while preventing overheating.​

Conception de luminaire: Luminaires personnalisés (3D-printed or machined) secure parts during machining—critical for consistency. Par exemple, we use vacuum fixtures for thin acrylic sheets (empêche la déformation) and vice grips with soft jaws for brass parts (Évite les rayures).

Notre 3-Services d'usinage Axe CNC have helped clients across industries solve production challenges—from prototyping to high-volume manufacturing. Vous trouverez ci-dessous deux Projets réussis showcasing our expertise in precision, efficacité, et polyvalence:​

Étude de cas 1: Automotive Plastic Interior Part Manufacturer​

• Défi: Le client avait besoin 50,000 ABS plastic dashboard brackets monthly for a new car model. Each bracket required 4 trous (0.5diamètre mm), a curved edge, and a tolerance of ±0.03mm. Their previous supplier used manual machining, which caused 12% of parts to fail (misaligned holes, uneven curves) and had a 4-week lead time—delaying the car’s launch.​

• Solution: Nous avons utilisé 3-Axis CNC Usinage with custom vacuum fixtures (to secure thin ABS sheets) and HSS end mills (optimized for plastics). We programmed chemins d'outils to cut the curved edge via synchronized X/Y/Z movements, then drill the holes in one setup. Mist coolant was used to prevent ABS warping, and our automated tool changer reduced setup time between batches. We also ran 8 machines 24/7 to meet high-volume demand.​

• Résultats:​

• Le taux de défaut a chuté de 12% to 0.8%—only 400 parts failed per month (contre. 6,000 previously).​

• Lead time shortened from 4 des semaines pour 10 days—helping the client meet their car launch deadline.​

• Production cost per bracket decreased by 40% (reduced labor from automation and fewer defects).​

• Témoignage client: “3-axis CNC transformed our dashboard bracket production. The consistency and speed let us hit our launch date, and the cost savings were a huge bonus. We’ve expanded our order to include other interior parts!” — Mike T., Automotive Production Director.​

Étude de cas 2: Medical Device Company (Titanium Surgical Screws)​

• Défi: Le client avait besoin 1,000 titanium surgical screws (4diamètre mm, 20longueur mm) for orthopedic procedures—each requiring a threaded body, a Phillips head, and a tolerance of ±0.008mm (critical for safe implantation). The client also needed FDA-compliant documentation and a 2-week lead time (to meet urgent hospital orders).​

• Solution: Nous avons utilisé 3-Axis CNC Usinage with carbide drills and taps (for titanium’s hardness) and flood coolant (Pour réduire l'accumulation de chaleur). We programmed the X/Y axes to position the tool for the Phillips head, then used the Z-axis to cut the threads and drill the screw’s core. Notre processus de contrôle de qualité compris 100% Inspection CMM (verifying thread pitch and tolerance) and biocompatibility testing (par normes de la FDA). We also prepared detailed documentation (paramètres d'usinage, rapports d'inspection) for regulatory compliance.​

• Résultats:​

• 100% of screws met the ±0.008mm tolerance and FDA requirements—no rejections.​

• Hospitals reported a 30% réduction du temps chirurgical (due to the screws’ precise fit).​

• Lead time was met (2 semaines)—ensuring hospitals had enough supplies for urgent surgeries.​

• Challenge Overcome: Manual machining couldn’t achieve the tight tolerance for threads; 3-axis CNC’s precision and repeatability solved this issue.​
