Machining accuracy
Standard ±0.01 mm; high precision down to ±0.005 mm
Subtractive CNC milling for high-precision parts with complex geometry — from one-off prototypes to production volumes.
CNC Milling Services use computer numerical control (CNC) mills to cut workpieces with rotating tools according to programmed toolpaths. As a subtractive process, milling produces high-precision parts with complex geometry and is widely used from single prototypes through high-volume production.
| Type | Characteristics | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Axis Milling | Lowest cost, simple to run; accuracy down to about ±0.05 mm | Basic features such as flats, slots, and holes |
| 4-Axis Milling | Adds a rotary axis for angled features | Medium-complexity parts such as multi-angle holes and cams |
| 5-Axis Milling | Five-axis motion machines multiple faces in one setup | High-precision parts such as turbine blades, impellers, and complex surfaces |
3-axis and 3+2 solutions suit cost-sensitive simple parts; 5-axis targets high-complexity needs in aerospace, medical, and similar industries.
Standard ±0.01 mm; high precision down to ±0.005 mm
