'CNC' stands for computer numerical control.

It is sometimes referred to more simply as 'milled' or 'machined' or 'turned', because it uses a computer-powered lathe to spin the metal rod while tools remove material. Image by KKMetals: CNC Milling 'CNC milled' metal is a reductive process where solid rods of metal are reduced down, like whittling down wood, on a turning lathe controlled by a computer. Image by Glidewell Laboratories: Forging 'Forged' metal (in case you were wondering) is cast and then pressure-treated for more structural integrity. However, casting compromises structural integrity, because it creates bubbles or air pockets in the metal, which also makes it imprecise. It takes a lot of electricity to melt metal down but it is very efficient with materials, because the waste can be melted down and re-used. It turned out our new cribbage pegs are not actually 'cast' metal, they are 'precision milled on a CNC lathe.' Here's what that means.Ĭasting 'Cast' metal is an additive process where metal is melted down and poured into molds.
