One quote covers the first part and the ten-thousandth. We machine metal and plastic to ±0.005 mm, check every piece before it ships, and hand back DFM notes within 12 hours of an upload.
Most precision machining failures are not machining failures. They are handoff failures.
A thin wall, a deep pocket, or a tapped hole too close to an edge only surfaces when the part is already cut. By then the toolpath, the stock size, and the schedule all need rework. Ask for the review before the chips fly.
A ±0.005 mm callout means nothing if the drawing dimensions stack from three different faces. The machinist picks one, the CMM picks another, and the parts land out of spec on paper while measuring fine in the fixture.
The bench that made five good parts has no plan for five hundred. Tooling changes, fixtures get redesigned, and the second batch no longer matches the first. Production should inherit the same process, not restart it.
Anodizing and plating add or remove material. A shaft that gauged in tolerance before the coating can bind after it. Coating thickness belongs in the drawing, and final inspection belongs after the finish.
The same machines, the same fixture logic, the same inspection plan.
Complex geometry loses accuracy every time a part moves to a new setup. Each clamp adds positional error, and manual re-datuming adds more. We cut contoured surfaces, angled ports, and undercut features in one setup on 16 simultaneous 5-axis machining centers, so the datums never change mid-part.
For parts that fit a Ø400 mm rotary table, 4-axis milling handles the same logic at lower cost. We pick the axis count from the geometry, not from what is free on the floor.
A shaft with a cross-drilled hole usually means two operations: turn it, then move it to a mill. Each move costs time and adds runout. Our 16 mill-turn centers cut the OD, the bore, and the cross features in one cycle. Concentricity holds because the part never leaves the spindle.
Threads, grooves, and face slots come off the same setup. For high-volume runs we cut on bar feeders; for one-offs we cut from billet. Same tolerance either way.
Match the geometry to the machine before the quote, not after.
| Part feature | Recommended process | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Contoured surface, 5 faces | 5-axis machining | No re-fixturing, datums stay fixed |
| Shaft with cross holes | Mill-turn center | One cycle, runout under control |
| Flat plate, holes on 2 faces | 3-axis machining | Lowest cost per part |
| Pocket deeper than 4× width | 3-axis with long-reach tool | Rigidity limits reach, not travel |
| Thin wall under 1 mm | 5-axis with light finishing passes | Spring passes control deflection |
| Ø400 mm round flange | 4-axis with rotary table | Indexed features, single setup |
Quote one process or the full chain. The inspection plan follows the part either way.
Simultaneous 5-axis for contoured, angled, and undercut geometry. One setup, one datum, features that would need three fixtures on a 3-axis machine.
3-axis and 4-axis milling plus CNC turning for prismatic and round parts. Bar feed for volume, billet for one-offs.
Machined prototypes for fit and function checks. Same tolerances as production, so the test part predicts the real part.
Anodizing, plating, powder coating, bead blasting, and laser marking. Coating thickness written into the drawing before the cut.
Brackets, enclosures, and chassis that pair with machined parts. One vendor for the assembly, one set of tolerances.
For housings where machining is too slow. Cast close to net shape, then machine the critical faces.

Fifteen years on the same floor in Dongguan, plus a plant in Singapore for regional delivery.
Held on production parts, not just on a lab sample. Verified on the CMM before shipment.
5-axis, 4-axis, 3-axis, and mill-turn capacity across three wholly-owned plants.
Parts that pass inspection on the first submission, tracked across production runs.
A price and a manufacturability review land within 12 hours of the upload.
Historical late-delivery probability below 2% across shipped orders.
Thin ribs, tight datums, full traceability from raw material to final inspection.
IATF 16949 process control for housings, brackets, and drivetrain components.
Cosmetic faces machined last, finish specified before the cut, EMI features on datum.
ISO 13485 process control, clean deburring, and material certificates on file.
A 3D model in STEP or IGES, or a 2D drawing with tolerances and datums. Tell us the material, the finish, and the quantity.
If the drawing is incomplete, we mark the gaps in the DFM review instead of guessing. You get the note back within 12 hours.
The process is fixed after the first article. Fixtures, tool paths, and inspection points stay the same from prototype to production.
In-process monitoring catches drift before the next batch starts. Final inspection runs on 100% of parts before shipment.
When the part has features on more than three faces, or when a re-fixture would break a datum. Those are the cases where 5-axis pays for itself.
For flat plates with holes on two faces, 3-axis is cheaper and just as accurate. We will say so in the quote.
Yes. A prototype that works on a bench machine but cannot be made on the production floor is a false positive.
We cut the first article on the same machine family that will run the order, so the process transfers without a second approval cycle.
Aluminum 6061, 7075, and 2024; stainless 303, 304, 316L, and 17-4PH; steel 1018, 4140, and 4340; copper and brass alloys; titanium TC4 and Inconel.
Plastics include POM, PEEK, PC, ABS, and HDPE. Material certificates are available when the application requires them.
As-machined finishes run Ra 1.6–3.2 μm. Finer finishes take lighter passes, which reduce tool deflection and help hold tolerance.
Anodizing and plating change the dimension. We machine to the pre-plate size and inspect after the finish.
Yes. We measure the sample, build a model, and send it back for approval before cutting metal.
The reverse-engineered model becomes the datum reference for the production run, so future orders match.
No. We run one prototype or 10,000+ parts. Setup cost is spread across the order, so the per-part price drops with volume.
Uploads are kept confidential, and an NDA is available on request before you send files.
Upload your model and we return a quote, a manufacturability review, and a lead time within 12 hours.
