All kinds of knowledge and latest information about CNC machining and the capabilities and advantages of CapableMachining in this industry,
CNC, short for ‘computer numerical control,’ represents a subtractive manufacturing process that utilizes computerized controls and machine tools to precisely remove material layers from a stock piece, known as the blank or workpiece, resulting in a custom-designed part. This versatile process accommodates an extensive array of materials, ranging from metals, plastics, wood, glass, foam, to composites, making it applicable in various industries.
Industries like large CNC machining, telecommunications, and aerospace heavily rely on CNC machining due to its ability to produce parts and prototypes with exceptional precision and tight tolerances. Embracing CNC machining allows for the creation of intricate and tailored components, meeting the specific requirements and demands of diverse applications across multiple sectors.
Our advanced manufacturing capabilities encompass 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling, facilitating the production of parts from an extensive selection of over 40 different plastics, metals, and rubbers. Whether it’s for small or massive volume production, we offer first article inspection (FAI) upon request to ensure precision and quality.
Our processes maintain high precision, with tolerances reaching up to +/- 0.0004” (0.01mm), guaranteeing accuracy and consistency in every component we create. Additionally, we provide competitive pricing for various additional heat treatments such as aging, annealing, quenching, tempering, and more, as well as surface treatments like anodizing, chromate plating, passivation, etc. Your manufacturing needs are our top priority, and we strive to deliver excellence at every stage of the process.
