CNC Lathe Aluminum Machining Processing Parts
How does custom CNC machining service work?
Custom CNC machining is a widely adopted subtractive manufacturing technology renowned
for its excellence in crafting bespoke metal and plastic components tailored for both prototyping
and production needs.
By harnessing CAD (computer-aided design) modeling software in conjunction with G-code,
CNC milling and CNC turning machines proficiently remove material from solid workpieces with
exceptional precision and speed.
CNC machines are adept at producing durable parts characterized by stringent tolerances
and a diverse range of outstanding material properties, both mechanical and chemical in nature.
Our bespoke CNC machining service is ideally suited for singular projects and medium-volume
production runs, capitalizing on automation and a high degree of reproducibility.
Product Details
The cost of materials in CNC machining can fluctuate significantly due to the extensive array of
available options.

FAQ's
1. How does CNC machining work?
CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process, meaning it achieves its final product by
removing material.
It involves tasks like drilling holes, creating slots and pathways, and shaping metal stock into
different forms with varying dimensions and designs.
Unlike additive manufacturing, which builds up materials layer by layer, CNC machining subtracts
material to create shapes.
It also differs from injection molding, where material is injected into a mold to form a specific shape.
CNC machining is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of materials, including metals,
plastics, wood, glass, foam, and composites.
This versatility has made CNC machining a popular choice in various industries, offering efficient
and precise fabrication for designers and engineers.
2. What are your tolerances for machined parts?
Our tolerances for machined parts are typically within +0.005"/-0.005" for most metal geometries,
and within +/- 0.010" for plastics. However, tolerances may vary for larger parts, especially when
maintaining flatness over extensive sections post-heat treatment.
Regarding the finish requirements, an "As Milled" finish should have a minimum of 125 surface finish
for CNC parts.
For all fabricated parts, there is a dimensional tolerance of 0.010" and an angular tolerance of 1°.
Please note that tapped holes not explicitly indicated as features in the provided CAD model may be
machined to the specified diameters in that model.
Additionally, surface treatments like anodizing, bead blasting, iriditing, powder coating, etc., will only
be applied if they have been paid for and explicitly acknowledged in advance.
3. Do you offer Quick-Turn CNC Machining?
Certainly! We provide rapid turnaround times for CNC machining, with the option for many parts to be
completed in just 3-4 days.
We also offer an expedited service, and our dedicated team collaborates closely with you to ensure your
most urgent deadlines are met.
