CNC Machining

CNC machined parts, from one-off prototypes to production runs, in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper and engineering plastics.

5-Axis CNC Machining

Five-axis machining reaches complex surfaces like impellers, ports and freeform shapes in fewer setups. Fewer setups means features stay accurate to each other, and the part spends less time being re-clamped.

Materials

Common aluminum grades like 6061 and 7075, carbon and stainless steels, titanium, brass, copper and engineering plastics. If you're not sure which grade to use, tell us what the part has to do and we'll suggest one. See how to choose a metal for a machined part.

Milling and Turning

Milling for brackets, housings, plates and anything prismatic. Turning for shafts, bushings, spacers and round parts. Many parts need both.

Machined Components

Gearbox parts, suspension spindles, pocketed plates and brackets, machined and anodized. Round parts like flanges, bushings and tips are turned in metal or engineering plastic.

Prototypes and Short Runs

One-off parts and small batches for fit and function testing, made from the material the production part will use. More on our prototyping page.

Custom Designs

Without a drawing, send a sketch, photos or a sample part. Our design service turns it into a model and drawing we can machine from.

Quality Control

Parts are checked against your drawing before they ship. If you need an inspection report on critical dimensions, ask for one with your quote.

• 7075 aluminum control arm, CNC machined and gold anodized.
• SSD Enclosure 1, our own pre-preg carbon fiber product, from layup to compression molding.
• V1 Laptop Stand, our own product: the same design machined in titanium and in aluminum, with an NVMe SSD enclosure and fan built in.
• Ski Pole 1, our own product: titanium hardware machined and finished in Gold or Silver, bonded to a carbon fiber shaft.
• In development: a ski rack mount for the Porsche 992 GT3, combining CNC machined and 3D printed parts.

Before You Send a Drawing

CNC machining processes covers how each process works and what it costs. Some design features add machining time without improving the part: see CNC design features that add cost and what to include in a quote request.
