CNC Machining
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a subtractive manufacturing process. Raw material (metal or plastic) is cut to shape using computer-controlled cutting tools that follow a digital design file. The process removes material progressively until the required geometry is achieved.
CNC machining supports tight tolerances, complex geometries, and a wide range of engineering materials. It is suitable for prototypes, functional parts, jigs, fixtures, and production runs where dimensional accuracy is critical.

Our CNC Machining Capabilities
CNC Milling
Uses rotating multi-point cutting tools to remove material from a fixed workpiece. Available in 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis configurations. Suitable for flat surfaces, pockets, contours, and complex 3D profiles.
CNC Turning
Rotates the workpiece against a stationary cutting tool. Produces axially symmetric components with high concentricity. Suitable for shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational parts.
CNC Drilling
Creates precision holes to specified diameters and depths. Suitable for threaded inserts, bolt patterns, counterbores, and internal fluid channels.
CNC EDM: Wire and Sinker
Uses controlled electrical discharge to erode material without mechanical cutting force. Suitable for hardened metals, complex internal cavities, and precision tooling inserts.
Our Process
STEP 1
File Upload
Submit your CAD file in STEP, IGES, DWG, or DXF format.
STEP 2
Engineering Review
Our team checks your design for machinability and confirms material, tolerance, and finish requirements.
STEP 3
Toolpath Programming
CNC programs are generated using CAM software based on your design file.
STEP 4
Machining
Parts are produced on CNC mills or lathes using the confirmed material.
STEP 5
Quality Inspection
Critical dimensions are verified using CMM equipment or manual gauging tools.
STEP 6
Finishing and Dispatch
Surface treatment applied if specified. Parts packed and shipped.
