Prismatic and multi-face components

Custom CNC Milling Services

CNC milling removes material with rotating cutting tools to produce pockets, slots, bores, planar faces and complex contours. We review the complete drawing around datum strategy, workholding, tool access, material, quantity and inspection requirements before quotation.

Custom CNC milled metal housings with pockets, bores and mounting features

Process capabilities

Plan the process around the complete component.

These capability groups are a starting point. Final equipment, setup and inspection planning remain subject to drawing review.

01

3-Axis Milling

Prismatic parts with accessible faces, pockets, slots and hole patterns.

02

Multi-Axis Milling

Angled features and multiple faces reviewed for fewer repositioning steps.

03

Hole & Thread Features

Bores, tapped holes, counterbores and sealing features planned from the drawing.

04

Secondary Operations

Deburring, inspection and specified finishing coordinated with the machined part.

Common part types

Examples that fit this machining route.

Part names are only a guide. Geometry, critical characteristics and quantity determine the actual manufacturing route.

Equipment housings Mounting plates Precision brackets Manifolds Fixtures and tooling Electronic enclosures

Material planning

Material grade and condition affect the process.

Aluminum

Commonly evaluated for lightweight housings, plates and thermal components.

Stainless Steel

Selected when corrosion resistance, strength or cleaning requirements matter.

Steel & Tool Steel

Reviewed for structural components, fixtures, tooling and wear applications.

Engineering Plastics

Grade, stability, workholding and cosmetic requirements are reviewed together.

RFQ checklist

Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask before quotation.

Project-specific answers require the controlled drawing, material and quantity.

What parts are suitable for CNC milling?+

CNC milling is commonly evaluated for housings, plates, brackets, manifolds, fixtures and other parts with prismatic or multi-face features.

When should multi-axis milling be considered?+

Multi-axis machining may help when important features are distributed across several faces or include angled access. The setup plan depends on the complete geometry and tolerance relationships.

Which files are needed for a CNC milling quote?+

Send a STEP or STP model and a controlled PDF drawing when available, plus material, quantity, finish, inspection and delivery requirements.

Can finishing be included with CNC milled parts?+

Finishing requirements can be reviewed with the machining request. Specify the required finish, color, masking, cosmetic areas and dimensions controlled after finishing.
