Steel is a versatile, robust material commonly used in CNC machining. It offers excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and durability. It is ideal for parts that require robust performance in demanding applications such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery.
Aluminium alloys are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy to machine. They are widely used in CNC machining for applications that require a combination of strength and low weight. Aluminium alloys are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics industries.
Copper alloys, including brass and bronze, are known for their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. These materials are easy to machine and are often used in applications such as electrical components, heat exchangers and plumbing fittings. Copper alloys also exhibit good corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Bronze alloys are composed primarily of copper and tin, offering good wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in applications such as bearings, bushings, and gears. Bronze alloys are also valued for their attractive appearance and are used in decorative and architectural elements.
Brass alloys are composed of copper and zinc, providing excellent machinability and corrosion resistance. Brass is often used in applications that require low friction, such as fittings, valves and gears. It is also appreciated for its aesthetic properties and is used in musical instruments, decorative items, and hardware.
Magnesium is a lightweight metal known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It is easier to machine than many other metals and is used in applications where reducing weight is crucial, such as in the aerospace, automotive and electronics industries.
Mild steel, also known as low-carbon steel, contains a small percentage of carbon and is known for its ductility and malleability. It is easy to weld and machine, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including construction, automotive components, and general manufacturing.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process in which pre-programmed software and code control the movement of manufacturing equipment. This process enables the precise cutting, drilling and shaping of parts from various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
We carefully evaluate manufacturers based on their capabilities, experience, quality standards and compliance with industry regulations. Our selection process ensures that your parts are produced by reliable, qualified manufacturers who meet your specific requirements and deadlines.
To reduce the cost of CNC-machined parts, consider simplifying the design to minimise complex geometries, using standard-sized features to avoid custom tooling, choosing cost-effective materials that still meet your requirements, optimising batch sizes to benefit from economies of scale and involving us early in the design process to receive cost-saving recommendations.
Although this depends on several factors, such as the material, tooling, CNC machine and part design, we guarantee tolerances based on the complexity and requirements of your project. Typical tolerances range from ±0.10 mm for standard machining processes, or better, to a medium tolerance class according to ISO 2768 (mK). For more precise requirements, we can provide tighter tolerances on request.
The cost of CNC machining varies depending on factors such as material, design complexity, tolerances, quantity and lead time. For a detailed quote, provide your design specifications and requirements.
CNC machining offers several benefits, including high precision and repeatability, the ability to create complex and intricate designs, compatibility with a wide range of materials, efficient production with minimal human intervention and fast lead times for prototypes and large-scale production.
