Our machines aren’t just regular CNC machines. They’re special! Here’s what makes our micro-scale manufacturing special:
With 5-axis machining, we can make complex little parts in one setup that other shops can’t make!
At Istar Machining, we can make micro parts from many materials:
Material Type | Best Uses | Cool Facts |
Titanium | Medical implants, aerospace sensors | Super strong but lightweight, doesn’t rust inside the body |
Stainless Steel | Surgical tools, micro-valves | Very clean for medical use, strong and shiny |
PEEK | Biocompatible parts, tiny gears | Plastic that can go in the body safely, very heat-resistant |
Ceramics | Electronic parts, heat shields | Can handle extreme heat, very hard material |
Copper Alloys | Tiny electrical connectors, heat sinks | Great for parts that need to conduct electricity |
Whether you need tiny metal or plastic parts, our CNC milling and Swiss machining experts can make it happen!
When we say “precision,” we mean it! Here’s what our micro CNC machining can do:
This level of ultra-precision machining lets us make parts for the most demanding industries in the world.
Our medical micro machining makes tiny tools doctors use to save lives! We make:
With ISO 13485 certification, we make medical parts that must work perfectly every time.
Airplanes and rockets need super reliable small parts too! Our services include:
Our AS9100-certified process ensures these critical parts meet all safety requirements.
Modern electronics keep getting smaller, and we help make that happen with:
Modern cars have lots of tiny precision parts, and we make them with our CNC machining service:
Why choose Istar Machining for your micro parts? Here’s why we’re special:
Getting micro parts from Istar Machining is easy:
With our seamless workflow from SolidWorks/AutoCAD designs, your ideas become real parts faster than you might think!
After making your micro parts, we can also:
Here’s how our precision micromachining has helped real customers:
“Istar Machining made microfluidic chips with 50 µm channels that helped us develop a new medical test. The quality was perfect.” – Medical Research Lab
“We needed titanium parts with special textures for a spinal implant. Istar’s micro machining made exactly what we needed when other shops couldn’t.” – Medical Device Company
Ready to make your tiny parts real? Here’s how to start:
Micro CNC machining creates extremely small parts with exceptional precision. At Istar Machining, we manufacture components with features as small as 0.1 mm and tolerances of ±1 µm—finer than a human hair! This specialized machining technique uses advanced equipment to achieve details impossible with standard machining.
We work with a wide range of materials including metals (titanium, stainless steel, aluminum), plastics (PEEK, Delrin, polycarbonate), and specialty materials like ceramics and composites. The ideal material depends on your application’s specific requirements for strength, weight, and performance.
Our micro CNC machining achieves tolerances as tight as ±1 µm (one-thousandth of a millimeter) and surface finishes as smooth as 0.1 µm Ra. For perspective, a human hair is about 70 µm thick. This precision is essential for medical devices, aerospace components, and other critical applications.
Our standard lead time is 1-3 weeks depending on complexity, with expedited options available for urgent projects. There’s no minimum order quantity—we can produce a single prototype or thousands of production parts. For small quantities, the per-part cost may be higher due to setup requirements.
Absolutely! Our engineering team specializes in design for manufacturability (DFM) for micro-scale components. We can suggest modifications to improve producibility while maintaining functionality. This collaborative approach ensures your parts are not only precisely made but also optimized for cost and performance
3D printers create amazing objects, but they have significant limitations. Understanding what 3D printers cannot do helps you choose the right manufacturing method. Here’s
Engineering drawings and CAD (Computer-Aided Design) are both used to design and manufacture products, but they differ significantly in format, creation, and application.
Choosing the right metal for your project is crucial. Titanium and aluminum are both lightweight metals widely used in various industries. This guide compares their properties to help
