Custom Milled Machining Part CNC Milling Part Machining CNC
Aluminium Parts
CNC machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, constitutes
a subtractive manufacturing
method employed for the creation of parts through the removal of
material from a workpiece or
workpiece stock. The machine's movement is controlled by
preprogrammed software and codes,
guiding the precision of material removal. This versatile process
encompasses various machinery,
including turning mills, lathes, grinders, and plasma-cutting
machines.

FAQ's
1. What is your typical lead time? Can my parts be produced on a
rush basis?
When it comes to screw machine products, our standard lead time,
which encompasses quoting,
manufacturing, and shipping, typically stands at one week. With a
stellar on-time delivery rate
exceeding 99%, we prioritize timely fulfillment.
In certain situations, considering factors like tooling, gauges,
and material availability, we might
be equipped to produce your parts on a rush basis. Don't hesitate
to reach out and discuss your
specific needs!
2. Do you offer reverse engineering services or suggest cost saving
measures?
Beyond offering reverse engineering services, we specialize in
extracting design and engineering
insights from a variety of manufactured components. Our support
extends to aiding in the design
phase, recommending optimal raw materials, and advising on
efficient machining and finishing
approaches.
With the ultimate function of the part in mind, we often identify
subtle design changes, material
adjustments, or tolerance optimizations that can result in cost
savings without compromising the
quality or performance of your part.
3. Can make design drawings for me?
Regrettably, we don't offer a dedicated product design service.
Nevertheless, we conduct thorough
Design for Manufacturing reviews for all approved orders. Our
collaborative approach involves
assisting clients in refining their 2D and 3D drawings to enhance
manufacturability, resolve design
conflicts, and cut down on production costs. Explore our
recommendations for preparing CAD
drawings for manufacturing.
4. How do I know my design will be kept confidential?
We prioritize the confidentiality of your design. Our commitment to
this is solidified through the
signing and adherence to any non-disclosure or confidentiality
agreement.
Moreover, our factory strictly enforces a policy that prohibits the
capture of photographs of a
customer's product without explicit permission. Our longstanding
reputation is based on years
of handling a diverse range of unique designs, with an unwavering
commitment to preventing the
disclosure of proprietary information to any third party.
