Our CNC milling service cuts material using rotating tools. This works great for flat surfaces and complex shapes.
For round parts, we use CNC turning machines that spin the material while cutting tools shape it.
Need just one or a few test parts? Our CNC prototype machining makes sample parts quickly so you can test your ideas.
We can make parts from over 40 different materials! Here are some of the most popular:
Metals

CNC parts machining uses computer-controlled machines to cut and shape materials into precise parts. These smart machines follow exact instructions to make perfect parts every time.
Prices start at $50 for simple prototypes. For bigger orders, you get better prices. Many factors affect cost: material, size, complexity, and how many parts you need.
We work with most 3D file types including STEP, IGES, SolidWorks files, and AutoCAD files. If you have another format, just ask!
Yes! Our Swiss machining can make tiny parts with amazing precision.
Absolutely! We can anodize, bead-blast, powder-coat, or polish your parts to give them the perfect look and feel.
Our standard tolerance is ±0.005″, but we can achieve ±0.001mm when needed for special projects.
