CNC machining, short for Computer Numerical Control machining, involves the automated removal
of material from raw stock based on computer-generated instructions.
This versatile process is applicable to a wide range of materials, spanning from expanded
polyurethane foam to nickel superalloys. CNC machining finds common usage in various
applications such as fabricating, crafting ornamental furniture, and producing turbine blades.
The cost of CNC machining is influenced by factors like precision requirements, surface quality,
quantity, chosen material, and the overall complexity of the part.
Product Details
CNC machines are employed across a diverse range of materials, each having its optimal set of
machining parameters (speeds and feeds) for successful processing. The most prevalent materials
include:
1. Metal:
Metal stands out as the most frequently utilized material in CNC machining. CNC machines have
the capability to cut nearly any type of metal, from free-machining brass to high-performance
nickel superalloys like Inconel. Metal machining caters to various applications, ranging from
injection molds to the production of shafts and gears.
2. Plastic:
Although the majority of plastic parts are manufactured through injection molding, CNC machining
finds application in producing specific plastic components. Common materials include ABS
(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), nylon, and polycarbonate. Plastic machining applications
encompass valve bodies, bushings, and the creation of injection molding prototypes to assess
the overall functionality before investing in costly molding tools.
3. Wood:
CNC routers are predominantly used for wood cutting and are generally more cost-effective than
standard metal-cutting CNC machines. Wood CNC machining is commonly employed for
decorative purposes, with applications such as furniture, window frames, and ornamental panels.
4. Foam:
Polyurethane foam, whether closed or open-cell, is frequently employed in CNC machining
applications. CNC routers can cut foam blocks to create secure packaging for high-value products.
An example is the use of foam in toolboxes to ensure the tools remain secure during transportation.
5. Composites:
CNC machines are regularly employed in processing composite parts. Composites may include
materials like aramid, fiberglass, or carbon fiber, which are highly abrasive to cutting tools.
Aerospace and marine composite components undergo machining for tasks such as adding fastener
holes and general trimming after the molding process.

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. What types of surface finishes does provide?
We provide an extensive range of finishing services designed to achieve virtually any desired
look and feel for your parts. Our offerings include treatments for metals, texturing for plastic
injection mold tools, and painting for both metal and plastic surfaces, among many others.
For more information on specifying the surface texture you desire, you can refer to our blog.
2. Is it possible to passivate my parts?
Passivation is a surface treatment that alters the chemistry of certain metals. We provide
passivation services aimed at enhancing corrosion protection, durability, cosmetic appearance,
and more.
3. How much import duty should I expect to pay for my goods?
Providing an exact figure is challenging as import duties are subject to various factors.
Customers in Australia can benefit from the new CHAFTA regulations, facilitating a gradual
introduction of duty-free imports.
Import duties differ significantly from one country to another and are contingent upon the type
of goods being imported. The majority of countries adhere to the international Harmonized
System (HS) codes, which classify almost all commercial trade goods.
4. What are your shipping terms?
Our default shipping terms are Ex Works (EXW) for both rapid prototyping and regular production
orders. Under this arrangement, the customer assumes responsibility for shipping, customs
clearance, and all associated fees once the goods have departed from our premises.
In the case of express shipments, we utilize Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). This implies that the
client is responsible for settling the import duty upon the arrival of the goods at the designated
destination.
