We accept STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Parasolid, and STL files. For 5-axis projects, STEP format is strongly recommended to preserve complete surface geometry and achieve optimal toolpath generation.
Standard machined surface roughness is 125 Ra (3.2 µm); finish machining achieves 63 Ra (1.6 µm). Post-processing such as sandblasting or polishing can further improve surface quality.
In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates while the tool remains stationary, suitable for cylindrical parts such as shafts, pins, and sleeves. In CNC machining, the workpiece is stationary while the tool rotates, ideal for flat, prismatic and complex 3D geometric shapes.
Yes. We specialize in mass production with a 100-piece MOQ and can handle batches of 100,000+ units. Volume-based tiered discounts apply.
In 3-axis CNC machining, the tool moves along straight X, Y, and Z axes. In 4-axis machining, a rotary A-axis is added, allowing the workpiece to rotate. This enables the machining of complex features on multiple sides without re-fixturing.
