Services Metal Turned Parts
The most advantageous application of CNC machining lies in one-off manufacturing tasks and the
production of a moderate volume ranging from several hundred to 1000 parts.
For the cost-effectiveness, we strongly recommend employing CNC machining for crafting metal
prototypes. Additionally, when your components demand exceptionally tight tolerances,
CNC machining stands out as the preferred choice.
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.

CNC Machining Tolerances
Tolerances are not standardized across all processes and materials. The final tolerances on your
part depend on various factors, such as part size, design complexity, the number and size of
features, materials used, surface finish, and the manufacturing process employed.
Once your order is confirmed, we conduct a Design for Manufacturing review to identify areas
that may need modification for better manufacturability.

FAQ's
1. Benefits of CNC Machining
CNC machining, a subtractive manufacturing process, offers numerous advantages for both
prototypes and production components.
1. Precision and Consistency
2. Tight Tolerances
3. High-Quality Materials
4. Rapid Turnaround, as quick as 1 day
5. Cost-Efficiency at Larger Quantities
6. Extensive Post-Processing Options for Enhanced Aesthetics and Material Properties
2. Advantages of the Turning Process
The turning process offers several advantages, including:
1. Versatility in Materials: While primarily used for machining metals, turning can be applied to
a wide range of materials, including wood and plastics, making it a highly versatile process.
2. Excellent Tolerance: Turning can achieve exceptionally high tolerances, ensuring precision in
the manufactured parts. It is often used to add precise rotational features to components whose
basic shapes have been formed through other methods.
3. Short Lead Time: Turning is known for its quick turnaround time. The lead time, which is the
duration from order placement to final delivery, is significantly reduced due to the efficiency of
the turning process.
4. Skilled Operator Not Required: Operating a turning machine, particularly a CNC lathe, does
not demand highly specialized skills. Machinists can complete a defined training program and
obtain certification from accredited industrial training organizations to handle CNC lathes effectively.
5. Adjustable Material Removal Rate: Turning allows for flexible adjustment of material removal rates.
Lathes can operate at different speeds based on the material being machined and the desired end
product, providing greater control and adaptability in the manufacturing process.
