What Is CNC Machining?

When it comes to dream builds, there’s pushing the limits, and then there’s taking a Dodge Viper, lifting it, adding massive tires, and preparing it for dirt, dunes, and canyon runs. That’s exactly what Matt Brown from SuperfastMatt set out to do. It’s a project that demands precision, creativity, and access to high-quality custom parts—which is where SendCutSend comes in.

How CNC Machining Works

A digital CAD model is converted into machine instructions. The machine then follows programmed toolpaths to cut, drill, mill, or turn the material into the final geometry.

Common CNC Processes

• CNC milling for prismatic geometries
• CNC turning for round parts
• Drilling and tapping for hole features
• 5-axis machining for complex surfaces

Why Engineers Use CNC Machining

It is widely used because it combines precision, repeatability, and material versatility. CNC machining works well for prototypes, bridge production, and end-use components.

CNC machining is often the fastest path from CAD to a functional production-grade part.
