Project Overview
Thanks to Lavorazioni Meccaniche CS for sharing this detailed look at CNC machining steps used to manufacture clamp components for faucet assembly. The workflow demonstrates the use of ENCY CAD/CAM software for efficient 2.5x and 3x mill operations, relevant in consumer products and die & mold applications.

CNC Setup and Machining Process
The images and videos highlight a typical setup: a metal billet is precisely aligned using a dial indicator, then milled and drilled in progressive stages. Milling toolpaths are visualized in ENCY, supporting both roughing and finishing passes on aluminum blocks. Consistent coolant use and automatic tool changes ensure high surface quality and process reliability.

Result and Application
The final result consists of polished, accurately contoured mold halves and clamps ready for use in advanced manufacturing. This process showcases practical CAM programming and the application of ENCY in competitive industrial environments.
