CNC machining is a process involving different types of machines, all utilizing computer-controlled
tools to precisely remove material from a workpiece. The advantage of this computerized control
is that CNC machining offers significantly increased speed, precision, and accuracy compared to
traditional machining methods.
Product Details
CNC Machining with Aluminum
Aluminum is an excellent material for CNC machining due to its high machinability, ductility,
and favorable strength-to-weight ratio. It offers outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity,
low density, and inherent resistance to corrosion.
Aluminum can also be anodized for additional surface protection and aesthetic finishes.

FAQ's
1. Can make design drawings for me?
While we don't provide a standalone product design service, we do conduct Design for
Manufacturing reviews for all approved orders. This entails working closely with our clients to
optimize their 2D and 3D drawings, addressing design conflicts, and minimizing production costs.
Check out our guidelines on preparing CAD drawings for manufacturing.
2. Can I use my own material for production?
Absolutely, you can use your own material for production, as long as it aligns with the capabilities
of our machines.
3. How do I know my design will be kept confidential?
Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your design. We are willing to
sign and uphold any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement. Additionally, our factory strictly
prohibits the taking of photographs of a customer's product without explicit permission.
Ultimately, our reputation is built on years of working with numerous unique designs, ensuring that
no proprietary information is ever disclosed to third parties.
4. What is your typical lead time? Can my parts be produced on a rush basis?
Our standard lead time for screw machine products, encompassing quoting, manufacturing, and
shipping, is typically around one week. With an on-time delivery rate exceeding 99%, we prioritize
efficiency. Depending on factors like tooling, gauges, and material availability, we may have the
capability to produce your parts on an expedited basis. Feel free to inquire!
