The most suitable application for CNC machining lies in one-off manufacturing endeavors and in
low-to-medium volume production scenarios, typically ranging from several hundred to 1000 parts.
Opting for CNC machining is particularly advantageous when aiming for cost-competitive metal
prototypes. Additionally, the technology shines in situations where the parts necessitate extremely
tight tolerances for precision.

CNC Machining Applications
CNC machining stands as a revolutionary force across various industries, offering unparalleled
versatility. In woodworking, CNC machines transform the production of wooden furniture, providing
a time-efficient and cost-effective alternative to manual craftsmanship.
The technology's precision is harnessed in lettering and engraving systems, where it serves to mark
patterns or text onto surfaces, meeting artistic and serialized requirements.
Within the electrical industry, CNC machining plays a pivotal role in tasks such as crafting component
mounting holes in printed circuit boards and producing heat sinks for electronics.
The pharmaceutical sector benefits from CNC machines in manufacturing precise equipment,
including metering pumps, ingredient-dispensing nozzles, and packaging components.
Even in the dynamic consumer goods industry, CNC machining contributes significantly to the
creation of custom material-handling machinery for the food and beverage sector, along with the
production of injection-molded plastic molds essential for food packaging.

FAQ's
1. What is your typical lead time? Can my parts be produced on a rush basis?
For screw machine products, our usual lead time—covering quoting, manufacturing, and shipping
—is approximately one week, with an impressive on-time delivery rate surpassing 99%.
Depending on various factors such as tooling, gauges, and material availability, there's potential to
expedite the production of your parts. Just let us know your requirements!
2. Do you offer reverse engineering services or suggest cost saving measures?
In addition to providing reverse engineering services, we excel in extracting design and engineering
details from diverse manufactured components. Our support extends to assisting in the design process,
recommending optimal raw materials, and advising on efficient machining and finishing strategies.
Our approach considers the end-use of the part, enabling us to pinpoint subtle design modifications,
material alterations, or tolerance adjustments that can lead to cost savings without sacrificing quality
or performance.
3. What type of design files does We accept for quoting?
To ensure accuracy and efficiency in quoting, we exclusively welcome 3D CAD files in STL, STEP,
or IGES format. For 2D drawings with reference dimensions, kindly provide them in PDF format.
Complete manufacturing information must be included in the technical documentation for a thorough
assessment. Please note that informal communication via Whatsapp, email, etc., will not be
acknowledged for manufacturing purposes.
4. How long does a quotation take?
Our usual practice is to provide a response to Requests for Quotation (RFQ) within a few days of
receiving them. If, for any reason, there is a delay in the quotation process, we will notify you at the
earliest opportunity.
