Frequently Asked Question

What is CNC Carving?

CNC carving uses computer-controlled machines to cut and shape materials with amazing detail. Unlike hand carving, our machines follow exact digital plans to make perfect cuts every time.

At Istar Machining, we use 5-axis CNC routers with high-speed spindles that can make both simple and complex designs. Our machines work with precision of ±0.005 inches – that’s thinner than a human hair!

How much does CNC carving cost?

The cost depends on the material, size, and complexity of your project. We offer both hourly rates and fixed pricing. Most small projects start around $100, while large or complex ones may cost more. We provide free quotes so you’ll know the price before we start.

What file formats do you accept?

We work with most common formats like .STEP, .STL, and .DXF. If you have another format, just ask – we can usually convert it.

What's the minimum order quantity?

Just one! We take orders for single pieces, prototypes, or thousands of items.

How long will my project take?

Simple projects take 3-5 days. Larger or more complex jobs may need 1-3 weeks. We also offer rush service if you need something quickly.

Can you help with design?

Yes! Our team can help refine your ideas or create designs from scratch. We offer design for CNC machining services to make sure your project works well.
