CNC Turning Service

Get quality custom turned parts for rapid prototyping and end-use production. Lead times are as fast as 2 day.

Capabilities

Our CNC turning process produces custom prototypes and end-use production parts in as fast as 1 day. We use a CNC lathe with live tooling so features like axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots can be machined.

CNC turning is often used for:

• functional prototypes and end-use parts
• parts with cylindrical features
• parts with axial and radial holes, flats, grooves, and slots

Design Guidelines for CNC Turning

Our basic guidelines for CNC turning include important design considerations to help improve part manufacturability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time.

Additional Notes on CNC Turning Guidelines

• Small features may be allowed, but the diameter in any region should not be less than 0.030 in. (0.76mm).
• Sharp conical points are allowed; angles should be greater than 30 degrees. Walls thinner than 0.020 in. (0.5mm) typically do not survive the machining process.
