This may be done varying direction on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes for machining custom parts to precise tolerances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-current-equipment\">Current Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hurco-vm30i-cnc-3-axis-vertical-endmill\">Hurco VM30i CNC 3-Axis Vertical Endmill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/HurcoVM30i-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Hurco VM30i 3-Axis Mill\" class=\"wp-image-754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/HurcoVM30i-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/HurcoVM30i.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Our CNC 3-Axis Vertical Endmill will fabricate shapes and parts that a conventional endmill will cut, but quickly, precisely, and repeatably in a controlled environment with flooded coolant for high-speed manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Common Materials: <\/strong>Steel, stainless steel, Delrin, and aluminum<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hurco-vm10uhsi-cnc-5-axis-vertical-endmill\">Hurco VM10UHSi CNC 5-Axis Vertical Endmill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/Hurco5AxisVM10UHSi-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"5-Axis Hurco VM10UHSi Mill\" class=\"wp-image-755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/Hurco5AxisVM10UHSi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/Hurco5AxisVM10UHSi-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/prototyping\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2020\/09\/Hurco5AxisVM10UHSi.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Our CNC 5-Axis Endmill can create nearly any contoured feature and pushes the envelope for what is now manufacturable.
