Prototype Machining Services

During the prototype machining process, we typically work closely with your designers and engineers to produce a low quantity of machined parts — sometimes even just one. During this crucial stage of your product’s realization, it’s essential to get every detail right. That’s why, regardless of the size or intricacy of your part, we’ll give your order our full attention so that everything from the material you select to the type of machining we use results in the best possible first piece, which we’ll then submit for your inspection and approval.

Based on our more than two decades of manufacturing made-to-order parts, we’re proud to offer a full line of prototype machining services that never sacrifice quality in order to meet your delivery deadlines.

Variety of Machining Types

Depending on the shape and complexity of your part, the accurate production of a prototype usually involves a form of CNC machining in which the movement of the manufacturing machinery is controlled by computerized software. One of the greatest benefits of CNC prototyping is that they’re produced quickly yet without losing the slightest detail from computer-aided design (CAD) or GibbsCAM software.

The three major CNC prototype machining options are as follows:

  • CNC milling holds the workpiece stationary while an assortment of drills and cutting tools create the desired shape.
  • CNC turning is a type of automated lathe that spins the workpiece against a cutting edge to produce the desired cylindrical shape.
  • CNC screw machining is much like turning, except screw machining is distinguished by its Swiss-style ability to produce small, intricate pieces — think of tiny components for Swiss watches — to within strict tolerances.
