CNC Circuit Mill/Understand

Basic Concept

Simply put, the CNC Circuit Mill cuts materials.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which means that you can program a computer with numbers to control the CNC Circuit Mill for you. This way, the cutting process is automated!

The CNC Circuit Mill rotates a milling bit with a small diameter to make very small holes and cuts into the material.

The CNC Circuit Mill is not a cut-all machine. This technology is designed to make precise cuts into layers of conductive material in order to form the initial structure of an electronic circuit.

The conductive material being cut has to be supported in some way such that the thin conductive structure remains rigid enough to move around after the milling process. Typically, a supporting layer of non-conductive material is adhered to the bottom of the conductive circuit layer.
