Most of these trace back to one decision made before the first cut.
A 1.2 mm wall on a 200 mm housing looks fine on the bench, then distorts when the fixture comes off. The part is scrap. This comes from roughing passes that leave too much stress in the stock, and from a shop that never asked what the wall thickness was.
Tool marks on a visible surface, a scratch under the anodize, or a change in grain direction between two batches. Buyers reject the lot and the schedule slips a week. Anodizing hides nothing. It shows every cutter mark.
A bore at Ø20 H7 that measures 20.04 mm, or a hole pattern that drifts across a 500 mm plate. The assembly jigs no longer line up and the line stops. That is usually a fixturing problem, not a machine problem.
Three days to get a price, then two more rounds of questions on the drawing, then a tooling delay. The launch window closes. Engineers need a manufacturability answer in hours, not a week.
What we check, and why it decides whether your part comes out right.
On a 3-axis machine a complex aluminum housing takes four or five setups. Every refixture adds a small positional error and a new chance to clamp the part out of square. We run 16 simultaneous 5-axis machining centers, so angled faces, deep pockets and compound holes come off in one setup.
That matters most on parts with features on five sides, or with a hole pattern referenced to a slanted face. Fewer setups also means shorter lead time: production can start within 24 hours of a released drawing, and parts ship in 3–5 days.
Aluminum moves when you cut it. A 6061 plate roughs out with internal stress released, and a light finishing pass cannot pull it back. We rough in stages, let the part rest, then finish. On thin-wall work we use light radial cuts and support the wall from both sides.
Thermal growth is the other factor. A 300 mm aluminum part grows about 0.007 mm per °C. We hold the shop near 20 °C and let parts stabilize before final inspection, which is where the ±0.005 mm figure comes from in practice.
A quick guide to the grades we machine most often.
| Alloy | Typical use | Machining note |
|---|---|---|
| 6061 / 6061-T6 | Housings, brackets, fixtures | Good chip control, takes anodize evenly |
| 7075 | High-load structural parts | Strong, harder on tooling, less weldable |
| 2024 | Aerospace skins and ribs | Excellent fatigue strength, lower corrosion resistance |
| 5052 / 5083 | Panels, tanks, marine parts | Great formability, gummy to machine |
| 6082 | Structural and automotive | Similar to 6061, slightly higher strength |
| ADC12 | Die-cast housings | Cast grade, used for mold and casting work |
Machining is one step. These are the others we run in-house.
Simultaneous 5-axis work for compound angles, deep pockets and features on five sides of a part.
3-axis, 4-axis and mill-turn capacity up to 4,000 mm, for prismatic and round aluminum parts.
Machined prototypes from one piece, so you can test fit and function before committing to a run.
Anodizing, hardcoat, plating, powder coating, bead blasting and laser marking, with 1.5 mm minimum character height.
Enclosures, chassis and brackets where a machined part is overkill or the geometry is formed, not cut.
For volume aluminum housings and for low-volume urethane parts that mimic molded plastic.
Numbers you can check against your drawing.

Founded in 2011, we run 3 wholly-owned plants in 7,600 m² with 150 technicians.
16 five-axis, 12 four-axis, 27 three-axis and 16 mill-turn centers under one roof.
Not a lab number. It comes from temperature control and 100% inspection.
Raw material check, in-process monitoring and final inspection on every order.

ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 27001:2022.
Engine brackets, motor housings and battery tray components in 6061 and 6082.
End-effector plates, gearbox housings and axis mounts that must stay flat after anodizing.
Manifolds, valve bodies and mounting plates up to 4,000 mm on the large platform.
Heat sinks, RF housings and chassis parts where surface finish and flatness drive the fit.
We hold ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in) on qualifying features. That figure depends on part size, wall thickness and feature accessibility, not just the machine.
On a 300 mm aluminum part, thermal growth is about 0.007 mm per °C, so we stabilize parts at controlled shop temperature before final measurement. If a feature is at the limit, we will tell you during DFM review.
6061 machines cleanly, anodizes evenly and costs less. It covers most housings, brackets and fixtures.
7075 gives roughly twice the yield strength of 6061 and suits high-load structural parts. It is harder on tooling and less weldable, so use it when the load path requires it.
We rough in stages and let the part rest so residual stress releases before finishing. On thin sections we take light radial cuts and support the wall from both sides.
If a wall is under about 1 mm over a long span, we flag it in the DFM report, because no machining strategy fully removes the risk.
Yes. There is no minimum order quantity. We machine from one prototype up to 10,000+ part runs on the same process.
Prototypes usually ship in 3–5 days. Production can start within 24 hours of a released drawing.
Upload a STEP or IGES file through the quote page. We return a quotation and free DFM analysis within 12 hours.
The DFM note covers wall thickness, tool access, tolerances that may be tighter than needed, and finishing options. Uploads are secure and confidential, and we sign an NDA on request.
Clear, colored, hardcoat and conductive anodizing are the common choices. Powder coating, black oxide and bead blasting are also available.
Anodizing shows every cutter mark, so cosmetic parts get a controlled finishing pass first. Laser marking needs a minimum character height of 1.5 mm.
Every order gets a raw material check, in-process monitoring and a final inspection before shipment. That is 100% inspection, not sampling.
Inspection reports are available on request. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 27001:2022.
The maximum processing size is 4,000 mm, with a large-machine travel of 4,000 × 400 × 150 mm.
Medium platforms cover 750 × 1,150 × 550 mm and 600 × 600 × 600 mm. If your part exceeds these envelopes, send the drawing and we will say so early rather than after quoting.
