Prototype
Confirm material, revision and the features required for the first evaluation.
Precision CNC Machining.
Drawing-based milled and turned components, from prototype review to repeat production. Material, machining, finishing and inspection are agreed around the required features. Precision-metal production is coordinated through our long-term strategic manufacturing bases.

Coordinate deliveryWhy CNC Machining?
CNC milling and turning produce drawing-defined features without dedicated casting or forging tooling. Geometry, material, tool access and volume determine the feasible route.
- ✓Tightest tolerances — ±0.005mm standard; ±0.001mm on critical features with climate-controlled machining
- ✓Any geometry — 5-axis simultaneous milling produces complex 3D contours, deep pockets, and undercuts impossible by other processes
- ✓Any material — aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, brass, copper, and engineering plastics — all machined in-house
- ✓No tooling — from CAD to chips in hours — ideal for prototypes and bridge production before casting/forging tooling is ready

Process & Capability References
From one-off prototypes to 100,000-piece production runs: 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC machining in every common metal and plastic. When tolerance matters — ±0.005mm with full CMM verification.
Tolerance and production quantity depend on the material, feature, machine route and agreed inspection. Use the drawing review to establish the quoted scope.
Design for Machining
Features that cost more to machine — and alternatives:
- ✓Deep pockets — aspect ratio >4:1 requires special tooling and adds cost — consider redesigning to reduce depth or adding access from multiple sides
- ✓Internal corners — end mills have radius — specify internal corner radii ≥1.5mm (bigger is cheaper); sharp internal corners need EDM
- ✓Threaded deep holes — tap depth >3× diameter requires special taps and risks breakage — specify ≤3× or use thread mills
- ✓Thin walls — walls <1mm in aluminum vibrate and distort — specify ribbed geometry for stiffness
From Prototype to Production
Machining scales from 1 to 100,000 pieces:
- ✓Prototypes (1–10) — CNC direct from CAD — 3–7 day lead time, no tooling
- ✓Low volume (50–5,000) — production CNC with soft jaws, optimized programs, and SPC monitoring
- ✓High volume (5k–100k) — dedicated fixtures, multi-part pallets, and automated loading — machining remains competitive against casting+machining in many cases
- ✓Transition support — when your volume justifies casting or forging tooling, we manage the transition — machining bridge parts while tooling is built

Frequently Asked Questions
When is CNC machining the right choice?
Machining suits tight-tolerance features, prototypes, low-volume parts and wrought-stock requirements. Above 10,000 pieces, casting plus machining of critical faces may reduce cost; the crossover is reviewed during DFM.
What file formats do you accept?
Send STEP (.stp/.step) for 3D geometry and PDF or DWG for drawing requirements. IGES and Parasolid (.x_t/.x_b) can also be uploaded. Export native CAD files such as SolidWorks or Inventor to STEP, or agree a separate transfer route with our team. CMM and optical scanning can support physical-sample review.
How do you verify tight tolerances?
Agree CMM features, inspection frequency and report scope for the drawing. The published 20°C ±0.5°C inspection environment and ±0.01mm reference require measurement planning; a Cpk ≥1.33 target for designated features must be established by the agreed capability study rather than assumed from the machining tolerance.
Can you machine parts I supply?
Yes — we regularly machine customer-supplied castings, forgings, extrusions, and fabrications (or parts from your other suppliers). Send us the blank drawings and your machining requirements — we'll quote the machining operation.
