Our CNC Turning Process
First, a 3D model of the part is created, and the machine is programmed using specialized software to guide the cutting tool and material.Â
The chosen material, such as metal or plastic, is loaded into the CNC lathe. The material is then clamped securely to ensure it rotates smoothly during cutting.Â
The CNC machine rotates the material at high speed while a cutting tool is precisely fed into the material. This process shapes the material into the desired part with high accuracy.Â
After machining, the part is inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and overall quality. This ensures the final product meets all specifications before delivery.Â
CNC Turning Materials
Our CNC Turning machines use high-quality materials to produce custom parts and components tailored to your project’s specifications.
Lightweight and easy to machine, aluminum is often used in aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics due to its strength and corrosion resistance.Â
Known for its durability and resistance to rust, stainless steel is used in industries like medical, food processing, and construction.Â
This material offers excellent machinability and is used for parts needing good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, such as fittings and valves.
CNC Turning Services also works with plastics like ABS, nylon, and polycarbonate, often used in prototyping and applications where weight reduction is key.Â

Having Doubts? Our FAQ
Check all our Frequently Asked Question
CNC turning can work with many materials, including metals like aluminum, brass, and steel. It can also handle plastics like nylon and acrylic. The choice of material depends on the part's strength, weight, and cost requirements.Â
CNC turning uses computer-controlled machines to cut materials with great accuracy. The machine follows precise instructions from a CAD file, allowing for tight tolerances. This means the parts produced fit together perfectly, essential for complex assemblies.Â
Spindle speed is crucial in CNC turning because it affects the cutting rate and surface finish. A higher spindle speed allows for faster cutting but may generate more heat. Choosing the right speed is important for balancing efficiency and part quality.Â
During CNC turning, tool wear is monitored through various methods, such as visual inspections and sensors. These sensors can detect changes in cutting forces or vibrations. Monitoring tool wear helps prevent defects and ensures consistent quality throughout production.Â
After CNC turning, parts may need additional processing, such as sanding, polishing, or coating. These post-processing steps improve surface finish and protect against corrosion. The specific processes depend on the part's requirements and intended application.Â
