5-Axi CNC Machining Parts Manufacturing CNC Milling Turning Machining Parts

CNC machining excels in producing customized components, especially those with intricate

geometries and high precision requirements. While it demonstrates excellent performance in

single tasks and low-to-medium volume manufacturing (up to 1,000 parts) with its commendable

repeatability, it does come with more design limitations when compared to 3D printing, thanks in

part to its subtractive manufacturing principles.

Product Details

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for situations

where a part may be exposed to the elements for a long period of time. Stainless steel is also

fairly malleable and ductile.

Stainless Steel Finishing and Post-Processing

The finish of stainless steel can vary significantly depending on the surface roughness.

However, it is typically described as shinier compared to unfinished aluminum alloys,

and it tends to have a slightly darker and more silver color.

Stainless steel offers flexibility in achieving various surface finishes, including options such as

media blasting, sanding, hand-polishing, and powder coating.

These processes can be employed to achieve a wide range of surface finish textures and

appearances.

CNC Machining Applications

CNC machinery plays a pivotal role in multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive parts

manufacturing, medical machine manufacturing, transportation, defense, marine, oil and gas,

and electronics.

Across these sectors, CNC machining has emerged as a catalyst for efficiency, enabling the mass

production of tailored CNC parts. The technology's impact ranges from crafting intricate

components for aerospace applications to ensuring precision in medical device manufacturing,

showcasing the versatility and significance of CNC machinery in modern industrial processes.

FAQ's

1. How much does CNC machining cost?

The cost of CNC machining is determined by factors such as complexity, quantity, and lead time.

To obtain a precise cost estimate, we encourage you to submit a 3D CAD model, enabling us to

provide an interactive quote accompanied by design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.

Our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates upfront non-recurring

engineering (NRE) costs, making CNC machining a cost-effective choice for quantities as low as 1

to 200 parts. While prices may be comparable or slightly higher than 3D printing, CNC machining

delivers superior material properties and surface finishes.

2. What are your tolerances for machined parts?

Our machined parts adhere to precision standards, featuring +.005”/- .005” local tolerances across

most metal geometries and +/- 0.010" for plastics. It's worth noting that tolerances may vary for

larger parts, especially with considerations for flatness post heat treatment.

An "As Milled" finish for CNC parts requires a minimum surface finish of 125. Fabricated parts

maintain a 0.010” dimensional tolerance and a 1° angular tolerance. Tapped holes not explicitly

labeled as features in the CAD model may be machined based on the specified diameters.

Crucially, surface treatments such as anodizing, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating, etc.,

will only be applied upon explicit payment and acknowledgment.

3. How quickly can I get my parts?

For quality parts, a turnaround time of as little as two weeks is possible when complete 2D and 3D

CAD models are provided. Parts with more complexity or special features may take longer.

In terms of shipping, the majority of our shipments use air freight, ensuring delivery within a few

days from China to Europe or North America.
