Utilizing computer numerical control, or CNC, machining is a widely adopted manufacturing
technique that relies on automated, high-speed cutting tools to fashion designs from metal or
plastic stock.
Common CNC machines include 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines, lathes, and routers.
The manner in which CNC parts are cut can vary, with scenarios where the workpiece remains
fixed while the tool moves, the tool remains stationary while the workpiece is rotated and moved,
or both the cutting tool and workpiece move simultaneously.
Product Details
CNC machining machines possess the versatility to cut through an extensive array of materials,
encompassing aluminum, bronze, copper, ceramics, plywood, diverse steel types, stone, wood,
zinc, and various engineering materials.
This broad range of capabilities positions CNC machining as an optimal solution for prototype
creation in product development. It facilitates the ability to make accurate and swift adjustments
until achieving satisfaction with the final product.

Typical Applications of CNC Turning
CNC turning services are indispensable in several key industries, with a significant impact on
transportation sectors like aerospace, automotive, mass transit, rail and locomotive, military,
and trucking.
Within these realms, CNC machines are instrumental in crafting essential transportation equipment,
ranging from headnuts and gear blanks to bearing blocks, levers, axles, and rotors.
In the construction industry, CNC machines are harnessed to produce robust bolts and screws,
crafted from materials like stainless steel and aluminum, crucial for handling heavy-duty applications.
Furthermore, CNC turning services are pivotal in the manufacturing of diverse auto parts,
encompassing engine components like cylinder heads, connecting rods, and camshafts, transmission
parts including shafts and rings, as well as suspension components like sway bars, control arms, and
tie rod ends.
The aviation sector also benefits significantly from CNC turned parts, utilizing them for the
customization and production of probes, joint connectors, fasteners, and engine and aircraft
components, often opting for titanium due to its resilience to extreme temperatures.
Company Profile
FAQ's
1. How do I know my design will be kept confidential?
We prioritize the confidentiality of your design. Our commitment to this is solidified through the
signing and adherence to any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement.
Moreover, our factory strictly enforces a policy that prohibits the capture of photographs of a
customer's product without explicit permission. Our longstanding reputation is based on years
of handling a diverse range of unique designs, with an unwavering commitment to preventing the
disclosure of proprietary information to any third party.
2. Can passivate my parts?
Passivation is a treatment designed to change the surface chemistry of select metals.
We offer passivation services to provide corrosion protection, improve durability, enhance aesthetics,
and more.
3. How much import duty will I need to pay for my goods?
The amount of import duty for your goods is not standardized and varies based on several factors.
In Australia, the introduction of new CHAFTA regulations allows for a progressive implementation
of duty-free imports.
Import duties differ widely and are determined by the type of goods being imported.
Globally, most countries adhere to international Harmonized System (HS) codes, which categorize
nearly all commercial trade goods.
4. What are you shipping terms?
In our standard shipping terms, we utilize Ex Works (EXW) for both rapid prototyping and regular
production orders. This means that once the goods depart our premises, the customer is responsible
for shipping, customs clearance, and all related fees.
Express shipments follow the Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) arrangement, where the client takes
on the responsibility of paying import duty upon the goods' arrival at the destination.
