Precision Custom Metal Fabrication with 5-Axis CNC Milling

一、 CNC Milling Parts Production Process

1、CAD/CAM programming (3D modeling and tool path optimization)

2、Material preparation (selecting suitable metals or engineering plastics)

3、Precision machining (rough machining → semi precision machining → precision machining)

4、Post processing (deburring, anodizing, sandblasting, etc.)

The key to Precision Milling Service is to reduce the number of clamping times and improve machining consistency.

二、 Equipment Selection & Processing Capability

Different industries require matching different devices:

1、3-axis CNC Milling machine: suitable for simple geometric shapes and low cost

2、5-Axis CNC Milling: capable of machining complex surfaces such as impellers 

3、High speed milling machine: suitable for efficient cutting of soft metals such as aluminum and copper

For example, a certain metal fabrication service company reduced the machining time of turbine housings by 40% by introducing five axis machine tools.

三、 Processing Range & Material Adaptability

The materials that CNC Milling Service can process include:

1、Metals: Aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium alloy

2、Plastic category: PEEK、 Nylon ABS

3、Composite material: Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)

The size range can cover small precision parts (<1mm) to large frame structures (>2m).

四、 Surface Treatment & Functional Optimization

According to application requirements, High Precision CNC Milling parts can perform:

1、Anodizing (improving the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys)

2、Electroplating (increasing conductivity or wear resistance)

3、Shot peening strengthening (improving fatigue life)

By optimizing the process and equipment configuration, custom metal fabrication services can achieve more efficient and precise production.
