Custom cnc machining services manufacturing

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining services involve using computerized controls and machine tools to remove layers from a workpiece to produce custom-designed parts.  

CNC manufacturing uses computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to guide machinery in cutting, drilling, milling, or turning raw materials like metal, plastic, or wood into finished parts.

Custom CNC Machining refers to the process of manufacturing parts and components to unique specifications using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines.  These machines are capable of extremely precise movements based on digital designs (CAD files), allowing for the creation of highly accurate and repeatable parts from a variety of materials.

 Common File Formats Used:

CAD Files: .STEP, .IGES, .STL, .DWG

CAM Software: Converts design files into G-code for machining.

These services are essential in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, and manufacturing.

Types of CNC Machining Services:

CNC Milling – Rotating cutting tools remove material from a stationary workpiece.

CNC Turning (Lathe) – The workpiece rotates while a cutting tool removes material.

CNC Drilling – Precision drilling of holes into the workpiece.

CNC Grinding – Fine surface finishing or sharpening of tools.

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) – Uses electrical discharges to cut complex shapes in hard materials.

Multi-Axis Machining – Machines (e.g., 5-axis CNC) that move a tool or part in multiple directions simultaneously for complex shapes.

Common Materials:

Metals: Aluminum, steel, titanium, brass, copper

Plastics: ABS, nylon, PEEK, acrylic

Composites and specialty materials
