CNC machining is ideal for producing prototypes due to its precision, repeatability, and ability to work with a wide variety of materials. When creating a CNC-machined prototype, the process involves:

1. Material Selection: Choose a material that closely resembles the final production material. CNC machining works with metals, plastics, and composites, allowing flexibility in prototype development.
2. CAD Model: Start with a 3D CAD model of the part, which is translated into CNC programming language (G-code).
3. Machining Process: Depending on the complexity of the part, different types of CNC machines can be used (e.g., 3-axis, 5-axis, or lathe).
4. Low Volume Production: CNC machining is highly cost-effective for producing low volumes of prototypes or parts, allowing you to test form, fit, and function before moving to mass production.
