Overview of CNC
As a core technology in modern manufacturing, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining services use computer programs to control machine tools, enabling the manufacturing of complex parts with high precision and efficiency. Thanks to its intelligent and automated production mode, CNC services have become a key support in high – end fields such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics. Their technological advantages and industry value continue to stand out in the global manufacturing upgrade.

Our CNC machining technology
Milling
Process features: By using a rotating multi – edged milling cutter (such as end mills, slot drills, ball – nose mills, etc.) to cut materials, it can machine complex structures like planes, grooves, three – dimensional surfaces, and cavities.
Turning
The workpiece rotates while the cutting tool feeds axially or radially to machine rotational parts (shaft – type and disc – type parts).
Drilling and Hole Machining
Drilling and hole machining include processes such as drilling, reaming, boring and boring. Choose according to accuracy to adapt to hole machining in various scenarios.
Grinding
The surface of the workpiece is ground with a grinding wheel (abrasive particles) to achieve ultra – high precision (tolerance of ±0.0005mm) and surface quality.
Electrical Discharge Machining
Material is eroded through pulsed discharge between the electrode and the workpiece. It is suitable for materials with high hardness (such as quenched steel, cemented carbide) or complex structures.
Tapping & Thread Milling
Tapping is used for internal thread machining, efficiently forming threads with a tap. Thread machining includes various processes to meet different precision requirements.
5 – Axis Machining
Through the linear motion of the X/Y/Z three axes and the rotation of the A/C two axes, complex curved surfaces (such as aerospace blades, automotive body panel molds) can be machined in one clamping.
Broaching
A broach (with multiple rows of progressive cutting edges) is used to machine high – precision internal or external surfaces (such as spline holes and keyways) in one go. It is suitable for mass production.
Gear Hobbing & Cutting
Gear hobbing adopts the generating method, which has high efficiency and strong adaptability. It can machine spur gears, helical gears and worm gears, with an accuracy grade of 6 – 9.
Rapid Prototyping
Manufacture plastic/metal prototype parts through CNC machining to replace 3D printing and achieve higher strength and precision (such as medical device samples).

Custom CNC Parts Procurement FAQ
- Technical Drawings: CAD files (e.g., STEP/IGS) or clear 2D engineering drawings (with dimensions, tolerances, and surface roughness specified);
- Material Requirements: Specified material type (e.g., Aluminum 6061, Stainless Steel 304) and performance standards (e.g., tensile strength, heat treatment status);
- Quantity & Processes: Order quantity, surface treatment requirements (e.g., anodizing, electroplating), and special processes (e.g., thin-wall machining, precision grinding);
- Lead Time: Clear project timelines to assess production scheduling.
A: Low-volume customization is supported, with an MOQ of 1 piece (prototype). Volume orders (≥50 pieces) qualify for unit price discounts. Specifics may vary based on part complexity, material cost, and process difficulty.
- Material Cost: Precious metals (e.g., titanium alloy, Inconel) or specialty plastics (e.g., PEEK) incur higher costs;
- Machining Difficulty: Complex structures (deep cavities, thin walls, multi-curved surfaces) and high-precision requirements (below ±0.01mm) increase labor hours;
- Surface Treatment: Specialized processes like electroplating or hard anodizing cost more than standard treatments.Cost optimization tips:
- Provide standardized drawings (reduce design revisions);
- Consolidate orders for similar parts;
- Accept alternative materials (e.g., use 6061 instead of 7075 to lower costs without compromising performance).
- Prototype Stage: A sampling fee (covering material, programming, and tooling costs) is required, with a lead time of 5–15 working days (depending on complexity);
- Volume Orders: Sampling fees are fully deductible from the order value for quantities ≥5000 pieces.
- Metals: Aluminum alloys (6061/6082/7075), steels (carbon steel, stainless steel 304/316/420, tool steel), copper/brass, titanium alloys (TC4), nickel-based alloys, etc.;
- Non-metals: ABS, PC, nylon, POM, acrylic, PEEK, carbon fiber composites, etc.Material test reports (e.g., SGS certification, material certificates) are available to ensure compliance with ASTM, GB, ISO, and other standards.
- Metals: Anodizing (natural/colored), electroplating (nickel/chrome/gold), painting, passivation, blackening, hard anodizing;
- Non-metals: Spraying, silk screening, electroplating (after conductive treatment), polishing (mechanical/chemical).One-stop services are supported, with full control from machining to post-processing to avoid multi-supplier errors.
