Custom CNC machining is a widely embraced subtractive manufacturing technique,
highly regarded for its ability to craft tailor-made metal and plastic components, suitable for
both prototyping and production requirements.
By harnessing CAD (computer-aided design) modeling software in tandem with G-code,
CNC milling and CNC turning machines efficiently remove material from solid workpieces with
remarkable precision and efficiency.
CNC machines excel in producing robust parts characterized by strict tolerances and a wide
array of exceptional material properties, encompassing both mechanical and chemical attributes.
Our customized CNC machining service is ideally suited for individual projects and
medium-volume production runs, leveraging automation and a high level of reproducibility.
Product Details
CNC machine shops can work with a variety of metals and plastics, provided they are suitable for
machining. The prevalent choice for precision CNC machining is aluminum alloys, prized for their
natural corrosion resistance.
Aluminum stands out as a favored material for CNC milling machine prototypes, thanks to its
combination of strength and machinability, enabling the precise fabrication of intricate features in
a single prototype.
Among aluminum alloys, the 6000 series is the most frequently encountered in milling machine
shops. Stainless steel alloys are another common choice due to their resistance to corrosion and wear.
Additionally, carbon steel, titanium, and nylon—a chemically resistant, robust, durable thermoplastic
—are materials often employed in CNC milling projects.

Company Profile
Advantages of the CNC Machining Process
CNC machining offers several advantages when compared to other manufacturing and
machining methods.
1. Enhanced Precision and Accuracy
CNC machines excel in producing identical components with consistent dimensions,
ensuring precision at a level that manual machining cannot match.
The computerized controls allow for unparalleled accuracy in manufacturing.
2. Expedited Turnaround Times
CNC machining can significantly reduce production lead times. Unlike traditional machines
that require manual setup for each operation, CNC equipment can make adjustments swiftly
by modifying the computer program.
Furthermore, these machines can operate continuously for extended periods without the
need for breaks, resulting in faster order fulfillment.
3. Scalability
CNC machining is ideal for both prototyping and large-scale production.
Thanks to its reliance on CAD files rather than intricate machine setup, prototypes can be swiftly
and accurately produced.
Once a part design is approved, it can seamlessly transition into full-scale production.
4. Versatility
CNC machining is versatile and adaptable, accommodating diverse designs in various materials,
including metals and polymers. This flexibility makes it a suitable choice for manufacturing a
wide array of components and products.
