You could be in the thick of a team or building solo, but it’s critical that no matter what you do, you move quickly. Fast prototyping is a design workflow, and it’s one that is made up of ideation, prototype creation, and testing. When you decide to use fast prototyping, you will be able to work together with managers and designers, engineers, and users, to create a functional product.
The basic idea of milling is to remove material from a larger piece, whether wood, metal, plastic or something else. Low volume milling refers to the case where only a small number of units are milled compared to regular manufacturing processes in which thousands or millions of pieces of materials are milled to the desired specification. Finally, the “CNC” part refers to the fact that the milling is directed by computer, not by hand. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and is the name given to the process by which a computer translates digital information from a computer into milling instructions in equipment capable of removing material.
