What Is CNC Metal Cutting?
CNC metal cutting uses computer-controlled machines to cut metal parts with extreme accuracy. The machines follow digital designs to make perfect cuts every time. We can handle simple and complex projects. We work with many types of metals and can make parts in any size you need.
Our CNC Metal Cutting Capabilities
We offer a complete range of metal cutting options to meet your needs:
Machine Types and Axis Options
- 3–5 Axis Machining – For making complex parts with curved surfaces and special features
- Multi-Axis Capability – Perfect for aerospace parts that need special angles and shapes
- Waterjet Cutting – Cuts through thick materials without heat damage
Our 5-axis machining services can create the most complex parts in a single setup, saving time and improving accuracy.
Material Compatibility
We can cut almost any metal you need:
- Aluminum
- Steel
- Titanium
- Brass
- Copper
- Inconel
- Exotic alloys
Our titanium CNC machining process is specially designed to work with this tough but valuable metal.
