CNC Turning Parts
CNC, an acronym for computer numerical control, refers to machining processes controlled by
a computer. CNC machining utilizes computerized automation to manufacture parts more
efficiently, accurately, precisely, and with complex geometries compared to manual machining.
This technology also reduces the need for manual labor in machining tasks that would otherwise
be carried out by human operators. While individuals are not directly involved in physically
machining each part, their pivotal role involves programming and operating the CNC machines
to ensure the smooth execution of every operation.

Copper Machining Services
Our comprehensive copper CNC machining service allows us to manufacture intricate copper
parts in C110 and C101.
Copper parts are known for their corrosion resistance and versatility, making them suitable
for applications that demand electrical conductivity and high-quality aesthetics.
Our CNC machining capabilities cover a wide range of mill and turning centers, enabling us to
craft various components – from straightforward "as-machined" workpieces to intricate,
organic geometries with precise tolerances.
When you choose us for your copper parts, you can take advantage of up to 7 different
post-processing and surface finishing options, including bead blasting, powder coating,
smooth machining, and polishing.

CNC Machining Applications
1. Transportation:
CNC turning services are indispensable in various transportation sectors, spanning aerospace,
automotive, mass transit, rail and locomotive, military, and trucking industries.
These services contribute to the design of transportation equipment, producing items such as
headnuts, gear blanks, bearing blocks, levers, axles, and rotors.
2. Construction:
In the construction industry, CNC machines are utilized to fabricate robust components that
can withstand heavy loads. This involves the production of bolts and screws from materials
like stainless steel and aluminum, crucial for assembly and fastening functions.
3. Vehicles:
CNC turning services find extensive application in crafting auto parts, encompassing
components for engines (cylinder heads, connecting rods, camshafts), transmission parts
(shafts, rings), suspension components (sway bars, control arms, tie rod ends), and various
items like bushings and bolts.
4. Air Travel:
The aviation industry depends on CNC turned parts for customization and creation, including
probes, joint connectors, fasteners, engine components, and aircraft parts.
Titanium, renowned for its ability to endure extreme temperatures, is often chosen for
CNC turned parts in aviation applications.
Company Profile
FAQ's
1. Do you offer Quick-Turn CNC Machining?
Yes, we excel in providing Quick-Turn CNC Machining services. Our focus on fast lead times
means that many parts are available within an impressive 3-4 day timeframe.
Additionally, we offer an expedite option, and our team is committed to working closely with
you to fulfill your most pressing deadlines.
2. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?
Our CNC machining services encompass CNC milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis, and 5-axis) as well as
turning. For 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can machine parts with dimensions up to
2000 x 1500 x 200 mm (78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.).
In the case of 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm
(25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.). For CNC turning, we can handle parts with a maximum diameter of
431 mm (17 in.) and a length of 990 mm (39 in.).
Recommended minimum part dimensions are approximately 10 x 10 x 10 mm
(0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.), and feature dimensions should not go below 0.5 mm.
It's important to note that our platform has a limitation of a maximum part size of 1000 mm
(39 in.). If your project requires dimensions beyond this limit, please contact our sales team
to discuss your specific needs.
3. How much does CNC machining cost?
The cost of CNC machining is influenced by factors such as complexity, quantity, and lead time.
For an accurate assessment, the best approach is to submit a 3D CAD model, allowing us to
provide an interactive quote along with design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback.
Notably, our use of proprietary software and automated fixturing processes eliminates upfront
non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. This streamlined approach makes purchasing quantities
as low as 1 to 200 parts cost-effective.
While prices may be comparable to or slightly higher than 3D printing, CNC machining offers
superior material properties and surface finishes.
