It is a processing method that uses cutting tools to carve out various shapes with high finishing accuracy.
"Cutting processing" refers to a method that uses cutting tools to remove material, allowing for the creation of a wide variety of shapes with high finishing precision.
■ Lathe
A machine tool that rotates cylindrical materials and applies cutting tools to shave off the material. To finish parts neatly and efficiently, the three elements of "rotational speed," "depth of cut," and "feed rate" must be properly coordinated. The settings for these three elements vary depending on the dimensions, shape, material, and the cutting tools used, requiring the skilled expertise of someone well-versed in the machinery.
■ Milling
A machine tool that performs processes such as flat surface cutting and groove cutting is called a milling machine. In this method, the plastic being cut is not rotated; instead, the cutting tool rotates, and the plastic is brought into contact with the rotating tool for cutting. (A simple example: sculpture)
