CNC machining combines the responsiveness of additive manufacturing processes with parts that are milled from real engineering-grade plastic and metal for improved material selection, part functionality and cosmetic appearance. Final parts are nearly indistinguishable from molded parts, making for high-quality prototypes often used as jigs, fixtures and one-offs.
During the machining process, a solid block of material is clamped into a CNC mill and cut into a finished part. We employ three-axis milling from up to six orthogonal sides of the part to machine as many features as possible. The range of material choices allows parts to be made with the desired material properties, and good tolerances yield parts suitable for form, fit and function testing.
