Istar Machining: Your Best Choice for CNC Profile Cutting Service

What is CNC Profile Cutting?

Let’s make it simple! CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It means a computer tells a machine exactly how to cut. Profile cutting means cutting along the outline or shape of a design. So, CNC profile cutting is using a computer-controlled machine to cut shapes, like outlines, from flat sheets of material.

Think of it like a super-smart, super-strong pair of scissors that follows a drawing perfectly every time! This is a subtractive process, which means we start with a sheet of material and cut parts away to leave the shape you want.

We are experts in metal fabrication and sheet metal cutting. Our industrial cutting services are trusted by many people.
