These are not so useful for making 3D parts, but they are still very popular for CNC work because a lot that goes on can be represented in 2D. Take our Carb Spacer STL shown above. The part is flat on the top and the bottom. There really are no interesting 3D features, it is the outline that makes the part and the outline is 2D.

Four New High-Performance Milling Techniques for 3D Machining. With many 3D milling applications demanding both shorter cycle times and smoother surface finishes, it's time to review how you go about programming and machining parts. These four strategies will let you rough dramatically faster and achieve astonishingly fine surface finishes.

CNC Milling Toolpaths at a Glance. CNC milling toolpaths are typically categorized as 2D, 3D, 4-axis, and 5-axis. However, the term 2D is a bit misleading since this toolpath uses the Z-axis to position a tool for depth. For example, in the image below, we have a prismatic part whose features all reside at various heights on the XY plane.

Ball nose mills are used for 3D milling. Bull nose end mills have a radius corner. They are used to create a fillet on the bottom of a wall. Because they are sturdier than an end mill they are also sometimes used for roughing operations. Chamfer end mills have an angled nose used to create a chamfer or to de-‐burr parts. Number of Flutes

Unlike other milling tools, CNC machines can move on three axes: the Z axis moves vertically, the X axis moves horizontally, and the Y axis moves backward and forward. DIY your CNC. While many of this CNC machine's components are 3D printed, several parts must be ordered to make it work.

CAD is used to create 3D designs, but a CNC machine does not understand those 3D designs as a series of shapes and dimensions. Because of this, a 3D design needs to be converted into a format specific to the recipient machine, one that tells the machine how and when it needs to move, rotate, cut, etc.

I´m very frustrated that I don´t have a milling machine in my shop. But my credo is get inspired, use what you have and make the best out of it, so naturally I tried to make my own milling machine (kind of).

Engraving a 3D relief in stone looks quite impressive. A wall decorated with marble plates and 3D reliefs is a real eye-catcher. The fine contours of the angel figures we milled in a marble plate, a sculptor could not have worked out better, especially not at the same time as the machine accomplished the engraving.

The difference between 2D milling and 3D milling lies largely on the amount of machine axes that can be commanded on each line of NC code. Typically, when 2D milling, only the x- and y- axes will be utilized on a given move at the machine. In contrast, a simultaneous x-, y- and z-axis move can be used when 3D milling.

3D DESIGNS. Making a 3D part on the milling machine requires both a 3D CAD and CAM program. The resulting file is written in G-code, the format understood by most CNC machines. Some 2D CAD programs can generate G-code, and you can use 3D CAM programs to produce 2D models. 3D CAD and CAM programs offer functionality specifically for 3D parts.
