CNC machining capabilities

One machining category, four focused process routes.

Choose the closest route or upload the drawing and let geometry, datum relationships and inspection needs guide the process.

01

CNC Milling

For prismatic parts, housings, pockets, slots, bores and controlled multi-face features.

Explore CNC Milling
02

CNC Turning

For shafts, sleeves, bushings, threaded fittings and other rotational components.

Explore CNC Turning
03

5-Axis Machining

For complex surfaces and features that benefit from fewer setups and multi-directional access.

Explore 5-Axis Machining
04

CNC Routing

For panels, sheet parts, large profiles, cutouts and suitable plastic or aluminum plate.

Prototype to repeat production

Plan the production route before volume increases.

Prototype feedback is more useful when the intended material, finish, inspection scope and repeat quantity are already visible. That lets the team review workholding, setup reduction and revision control earlier.

01

Drawing and requirement review

Upload the 3D model and controlled drawing with material, quantity, finish and critical inspection requirements.

02

DFM and process planning

We review feature access, setups, datum strategy, tool reach, tolerance relationships and secondary operations.

03

Machining and in-process control

The approved route combines appropriate milling, turning or multi-axis operations with process checks.

04

Inspection, finishing and delivery

Specified dimensions, finish requirements, documentation and packaging are confirmed against the order.

CNC machining materials

Specify the exact grade—not only the material family.

Strength, corrosion behavior, thermal performance, stability, chip formation and finishing compatibility can change by grade. Final availability and process suitability are confirmed against the drawing.

CNC machined aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper and engineering plastic parts
01

Aluminum

Lightweight housings, brackets, heat-transfer parts and general engineering components.

02

Stainless steel

Corrosion-resistant parts, fittings, equipment components and demanding assemblies.

03

Steel

Structural, wear-resistant and high-strength components, with grade confirmed by drawing.

04

Brass & copper

Electrical, thermal, fluid-handling and decorative components requiring controlled machining.

05

Titanium

High-value components reviewed for grade, tool access, inspection and application requirements.

06

Engineering plastics

POM, PEEK, nylon, PTFE and other specified plastics reviewed for stability and finish.

Real CNC machined parts

Machined geometry, finishing and inspection in one workflow.

These real component examples show how threads, cavities, machined edges, surface texture, cosmetic finish and inspection requirements need to be considered together.

Titanium medical CNC components

Real titanium-alloy medical part examples.

These customer-supplied examples show small, complex titanium parts with turned, milled, threaded, contoured and identification features.

Project requirement:Exact titanium grade, drawing revision, surface condition, inspection, cleaning, traceability and regulatory requirements must be confirmed for each project. Images demonstrate machining examples only and do not establish suitability for a specific clinical use.

Quality and inspection planning

Connect every critical feature to a datum and inspection method.

A good inspection plan begins with the controlled drawing. Mark functional dimensions, fits, cosmetic zones and documentation needs so the machining and inspection teams evaluate the same requirements.

CNC machining design guide

Design decisions that make machining clearer and more controllable.

These are review topics, not universal limits. Your drawing, material and functional requirements determine the final recommendation.

01

Internal radii

Allow realistic cutter radii in pockets and internal corners instead of specifying perfectly sharp internal geometry.

02

Wall and floor stability

Very thin sections can move during cutting or finishing; identify which surfaces control fit and appearance.

03

Deep features

Deep cavities and small-diameter holes need tool-reach, chip-removal and inspection review.

04

Threads and inserts

State thread standard, engagement requirement, insert type and any post-finish gauging needs.

05

Tolerance priorities

Apply tight tolerances to functional relationships and use practical general tolerances elsewhere.

06

Datums and inspection

Define a datum structure that reflects assembly function and provides a repeatable inspection setup.

Surface finishing after machining

Define color, texture, masking and dimensions after finish.

Anodizing, plating, passivation, powder coating, painting, polishing and other treatments interact differently with each substrate. Put cosmetic zones and post-finish dimensional requirements on the drawing.

CNC machining FAQ

Answers for engineering and procurement teams.

When tolerance, material or process suitability depends on geometry, upload the controlled drawing for review.

What files should I send for a CNC machining quote?+

Send a STEP or STP model whenever possible together with a controlled PDF drawing. Include material grade, quantity, surface finish, critical tolerances, inspection needs and the required delivery location.

How do you choose between CNC milling, turning and 5-axis machining?+

The decision depends on part geometry, feature access, datum relationships, quantity and inspection requirements. Rotational parts often suit turning, prismatic parts suit milling, and complex multi-face geometry may benefit from 5-axis machining.

Can one project combine turning and milling?+

Yes. Parts with both rotational and off-axis features may require a combined route. The model and drawing are reviewed before the process is confirmed.

Which metals and plastics can be CNC machined?+

Common projects use aluminum, stainless steel, steel, brass, copper and engineering plastics. Titanium and other specified materials can be reviewed by project. Always state the exact grade rather than only the material family.

Can you provide surface finishing after machining?+

Surface finishing can be included in the project review. Options depend on the substrate and requirements, including anodizing, plating, powder coating, painting, passivation, polishing and other specified treatments.

What information affects CNC machining cost?+

Material, stock size, machining time, setup count, tool access, tolerance, surface finish, inspection scope, quantity and secondary processes all influence quotation.

How should critical tolerances be shown?+

Identify functional dimensions and datum relationships on the drawing. Avoid applying the tightest tolerance to every feature; use fit, function and inspection needs to define what is truly critical.

Can you support prototypes and repeat orders?+

Projects can be reviewed from prototype through repeat production. Revision control, inspection planning, finishing and packaging should be defined early when repeatability is important.
