Introduction
- Example of CNC Circuit Milling on a Commercial CNC Circuit Mill
- As you can see, the milling bit rotates at very high speeds (thousands of complete rotations per minute, aka "revolutions per minute" or just rpm) and removes material from the top of the circuit board.
- The circuit board is comprised of a thin layer of conductive material (often copper) that is adhered to the top of a layer of insulating material.
- Once the milling is complete, the remaining copper traces are the finished circuit, while the adhered insulating material forms the rigid structure of the circuit board.
