Cnc Threading information

What is CNC threading?

CNC threading is a machining process in which threads are cut or formed on a workpiece using a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. This process ensures high precision and repeatability, allowing for the creation of threads on materials such as metal or plastic according to exact specifications. CNC threading is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for producing threaded parts such as bolts, screws, and pipes. The process can accommodate various thread types, including internal and external threads, and is suitable for both small and large production runs.

What is the difference between Cnc Threading vs Cnc Milling?

AspectCnc ThreadingCnc Milling
Primary FunctionCreating threaded parts and screw threadsCutting and shaping various parts with multiple axes
Tools UsedThreading tools, taps, diesEnd mills, face mills, drills
Work EnvironmentPrecision machining, small to medium partsVersatile manufacturing, complex parts
CertificationsMachining certifications, CNC operationMachining certifications, CNC operation

While both Cnc Threading and Cnc Milling involve CNC machine operation and require similar certifications, Cnc Threading specializes in creating screw threads and threaded components, whereas Cnc Milling focuses on shaping a variety of parts with multiple axes. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right skill set for specific manufacturing tasks.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CNC Threading Operator, and why are they important?

To excel as a CNC Threading Operator, you need a solid understanding of machining principles, blueprint reading, and experience with CNC machine operation, often supported by vocational training or certifications. Familiarity with CAD/CAM software, G-code programming, and precision measurement tools is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help ensure quality and efficiency. These competencies are crucial for producing accurate threaded parts, maintaining safety standards, and minimizing production errors.

How does a CNC Threading operator typically collaborate with engineers and quality control teams on a daily basis?

As a CNC Threading operator, you will regularly communicate with engineers to interpret technical drawings and ensure correct threading specifications. Collaboration with quality control teams is essential, as they rely on you to provide accurate measurements and report any deviations from standards. This teamwork helps maintain product quality and minimize production errors, making strong communication skills and attention to detail valuable assets in this role.

Job Type: Full-Time
Pay Range: $45 โ€“ $65/hour (based on experience) + Stock Options
Shift: Flexible
Overtime: Yes, as needed
Experience Level: Senior
Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

---

Why This Role Exists

This role exists because Freeform is scaling production.

Freeform is actively delivering production-scale metal parts for aerospace, defense, automation, and industrial customers. As production volume and part complexity increase, this role is critical to ensuring precision, throughput, and repeatability in post-print CNC machining.

As a Senior CNC Programmer, youโ€™ll play a key role in bridging metal additive manufacturing and high-precision 5-axis CNC machining, helping define how next-generation manufacturing actually works on the shop floor.

---

The Work Youโ€™ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Program, set up, and run 5-axis DMG Mori CNC mills
  • Post-machine complex metal 3D printed parts to tight tolerances
  • Optimize toolpaths, speeds, feeds, and strategies for efficiency and part quality
  • Machine parts directly from blueprints and 3D CAD models
  • Hold tight tolerances (ยฑ0.001โ€ and tighter depending on part)
  • Perform deburring, cleaning, and finishing operations
  • Inspect parts using micrometers, thread gauges, indicators, and probing
  • Support preventative maintenance and cutting fluid management
  • Collaborate closely with engineers to improve programs, fixtures, and automation
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives focused on throughput and repeatability

This is a hands-on programming role, not a desk-only CAM position.

---

Machines, Controls & Software

Youโ€™ll work with equipment such as:

Machines:

  • DMG Mori 5-Axis CNC Machining Centers

Controls:

  • Siemens

CAM Software:

  • Mastercam (highly preferred)

Inspection Tools:

  • On-machine probing
  • Micrometers, indicators, thread gauges, precision hand tools

---

What Weโ€™re Looking For

Required:

  • 5+ years of 5-axis CNC mill programming experience
  • Strong experience with DMG Mori 5-axis machines
  • Proven ability machining aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or Inconel
  • Deep understanding of setups, tooling, speeds/feeds, and optimization
  • Ability to read blueprints, GD&T, and CAD models

Preferred (Not Required):

  • Mastercam programming experience
  • Siemens control experience
  • Experience machining metal 3D printed parts
  • NTMA certification or equivalent formal training
  • Experience with automation, fixtures, or multi-axis optimization
  • Comfortable operating cranes, forklifts, and shop equipment

---

Materials Youโ€™ll Work With

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel
  • Titanium
  • Inconel & nickel-based alloys

---

Why Machinists Like Working at Freeform

Machinists choose Freeform because:

  • Modern 5-axis CNC equipment and cutting-edge technology
  • Real collaboration between machinists, programmers, and engineers
  • High-skill work โ€” not button pushing
  • Stable, production-focused workflows
  • Competitive hourly pay plus meaningful equity ownership
  • A clean, organized, state-of-the-art facility
  • Opportunities to influence how manufacturing scales globally

This is a place for machinists who want to build something new, not just run jobs.

---

Pay, Benefits & Schedule

Pay: $45 โ€“ $65/hour (DOE)
Top of range reserved for exceptional technical depth and experience

Benefits Include:

  • Significant pre-IPO stock option packages
  • 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
