Milling and turning under one quoting flow — prismatic parts, turned parts, and production runs with process controls, all with machinability feedback on upload.
The same machining technologies can support fast prototypes or scheduled production with inspection documentation. The comparison below clarifies the differences.
| Rapid Prototyping | Production Machining | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Parts in hand fast | Consistent supply at volume |
| Best for | Fit checks, functional testing | End-use components |
| Quantities | 1–100 | 100–10,000+ |
| Lead time | From 1 day | Scheduled deliveries |
| Inspection | Standard report | CTQ dimensions, PPAP-style docs |
| Finishes | As-machined or basic | Full cosmetic and protective range |
Select engineering metals and plastics based on mechanical requirements, manufacturability, finish, and the operating environment.
Review tolerances, cutter access, and geometric choices that influence machining cost, consistency, and inspection requirements.
Upload a model and see pricing with machinability feedback in minutes.
Standard geometries can leave the shop the next business day.
The same process controls carry your part from one-off to scheduled supply.
Critical dimensions from your drawing get inspected and documented.
When accuracy, material selection, and finish all matter, machining is a strong option. Key advantages include:
Wherever metal or engineering-plastic parts do demanding work, CNC machining is commonly used. Typical applications include:
Achievable tolerances depend on geometry, material, feature access, and inspection method. Identify critical dimensions on the drawing for a focused review.
Yes. A drawing helps communicate critical dimensions, datums, threads, surface finish, and inspection needs alongside the 3D model.
Machining is useful from one-off parts through planned production runs. Compare it with molding or additive manufacturing when volume and geometry change the economics.
Finishes can include anodizing, blasting, coating, passivation, plating, marking, and cosmetic preparation, depending on material and geometry.
