Our CNC milling capabilities include 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining to handle complex geometries and tight tolerances. With state-of-the-art machines and skilled engineers, we manufacture precision parts from a wide range of materials.

3 Axis CNC Mill

The foundation of our milling services, 3 Axis CNC Machining operates on X, Y, and Z axes to create straightforward, yet precise parts. Ideal for flat surfaces, holes, slots, and basic 3D shapes, this cost-effective solution is perfect for low-to-medium volume production and prototypes where complexity is minimal. We use high-speed spindles and premium cutting tools to ensure fast turnaround without compromising accuracy.

Advantages:

Taking precision a step further, 4 Axis CNC Machining adds a rotational A-axis to the standard 3-axis setup, allowing the workpiece to rotate around the X-axis. This capability enables machining of complex features like grooves, contours, and angled holes in a single setup—reducing part handling, minimizing errors, and speeding up production. It’s widely used for automotive components, aerospace parts, and industrial fixtures that require consistent, multi-sided machining.

Applications:

Factors Affecting Tolerances

Several factors can influence the achievable tolerances in CNC milling:

  • Material properties - Different materials behave differently during machining
  • Part geometry - Complex shapes may require special setups
  • Machine capability - Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures precision
  • Temperature effects - Our climate-controlled facility minimizes thermal expansion
  • Tooling selection - We use premium cutting tools for optimal results

Custom Milling Design Guidelines

To ensure your part is optimized for CNC milling and to reduce costs, please consider these key design guidelines:

General Design Principles

  • Avoid Deep Cavities: Use a corner radius smaller than the tool radius to prevent tool deflection and breakage.
  • Use Standard Tool Sizes: Design internal features with standard drill and end mill sizes in mind to reduce machining time and cost.
  • Add Fillets to Internal Corners: Sharp internal corners are impossible to machine; always add a radius to allow for tool access.
  • Limit Deep Pockets: Deep pockets require long tools, increasing machining time, cost, and potential for tool deflection.
  • Consider Wall Thickness: Thin walls can vibrate during machining or break; maintain a minimum practical thickness based on material.
  • Design for a Single Setup: Parts that can be machined in one setup are more accurate and affordable.
  • Minimize Tight Tolerances: Only specify tight tolerances where absolutely necessary to reduce machining time and cost.

Material-Specific Considerations

  • Aluminum: Ideal for complex geometries, thin walls, and fine details. Minimum wall thickness: 0.5mm (0.020")
  • Steel: Requires more robust designs with thicker walls and larger radii. Minimum wall thickness: 1.0mm (0.040")
  • Plastics: More flexible, requiring support for thin features. Consider thermal expansion during machining.
  • Stainless Steel: Prone to work hardening; requires sharp tools and appropriate speeds/feeds.
