Parts Turning And Milling Parts
The functioning of CNC machining is characterized by subtractive
processes, wherein the feedstock
is machined to its final form by the removal of material. This
process encompasses activities such
as drilling holes, boring lots and pathways, and shaping metal stock
into new material with varying
tapers, diameters, and shapes.
Unlike additive manufacturing methods that involve the addition,
layering, and deformation of
materials to achieve a specified shape, CNC machining achieves
shapes through the removal of
material. This sets it apart from injection molding, where material
is injected in a different state
of matter using a mold and formed to a predetermined shape.

CNC Machining Applications
CNC machining finds widespread application across diverse
industries, playing a crucial role in
aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, robotics, and
agriculture, especially in the fabrication
of metal components.
Moreover, it is extensively employed in the production of medical
devices, household goods, and
various consumer applications. The influence of CNC machining is
also evident in sectors like energy
and oil and gas, solidifying its status as one of the most
prevalent and indispensable manufacturing
processes worldwide.
Company Profile
FAQ's
1. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?
Our comprehensive CNC machining services cover milling (3-axis,
3+2-axis, and 5-axis) and
turning processes. In 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can achieve part
dimensions up to 2000 x 1500
x 200 mm (78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.). For 5-axis milling, the maximum
part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm
(25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.).
CNC turning accommodates a maximum diameter of 431 mm (17 in.) and
a length of 990 mm (39 in.).
Smaller parts are recommended to have dimensions around 10 x 10 x
10 mm (0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.),
with a minimum feature size of 0.5 mm.
It's important to be aware that our platform imposes a maximum part
size of 1000 mm (39 in.), and
for larger requirements, we encourage you to contact our sales team
for tailored support.
2. How does compare to other suppliers on price?
Making direct comparisons may be complex, but as a rule of thumb,
We's prices are usually 25-45%
more economical for plastic injection mold tools and CNC
machined/turned parts in comparison to
suppliers in North America and Europe.
3. How quickly can I get my parts?
With complete 2D and 3D CAD models, we can manufacture quality
parts in just two weeks. However,
for more complex parts with special features, additional time may
be required. Request a quote for
accurate lead times tailored to your project.
Shipping is primarily done via air freight, taking only a few days
from China to Europe or North America.
4. How much import duty will I need to pay for my goods?
The import duty for your goods is not universally fixed, and its
calculation depends on several factors.
In Australia, new CHAFTA regulations facilitate a phased
introduction of duty-free imports.
Import duties vary widely and are contingent upon the nature of the
imported goods.
Internationally, the majority of countries follow the Harmonized
System (HS) codes, classifying a
broad spectrum of commercial trade goods.
