Machining Service
What We Offer
We use 3-axis and 5-axis machining centers for processing with consideration to the shape of the product.
We can process not only resin, but also nonferrous metals such as aluminum.
Our technology has been accumulating through many years of experience, and we can produce products that require high precision, as well as refine surface transparency through processing with a blade.
Why Choose Us
High Precision
Simultaneous 5-axis control via high rigidity DMG Mori Seiki 5-axis machining center enables us to integrally process whole parts with high-precision in one pass.
Various Materials
Our machines handle to a wide variety of materials (engineering plastics / super engineering plastics / ferrous and non-ferrous metals).
Data Driven Processing
Introduction of FF / eye CAD / CAM makes it possible to process products with fine shapes and huge data capacity.

Machining Methods
CNC Milling
This is a machining method that uses a 3-axis or 5-axis machine to remove unnecessary portions in order to create the desired shape. Resin blocks can be machined and processed this way.
CNC Turning/Lathing
This is a machining method in which the workpiece is rotated and a fixed cutting tool is applied to it. It is mainly used for machining cylindrical parts. Combined lathes can process complex shapes with a single machine by performing both lathe processing and milling together.
CNC Machining Tolerances
| Maximum Part Size | 41.34/20.87/20.08 inches (Mori Seiki) or 41.34/25.59/14.96 inches (Iwama) Depending on the material, even larger sizes can be accommodated by bonding. |
|---|---|
| Standard Lead Time | Usually 5 to 7 days. May vary depending on size, quantity, etc. |
| General Tolerances | JIS B 0405 Medium grade ±0.00197 inches |
| Precision Tolerances | ±0.00118 inches |
| Minimum Feature Size | Minimum blade size is 0.0118 inches. |
| Threads and Tapped Holes | Suitable for threading, tapping, inserts, heliserts, etc. |
CNC Machining Applications
Mechanical parts
Mechanical parts such as shafts, gears, and gears are shaped by cutting. Materials such as POM and nylon are chosen as needed according to the product application.
Design parts
We manufacture design-related parts such as covers and exterior parts. Painting and plating can also be applied to the product.
Mock-ups
We specialize in the production of mock-ups for use in exhibitions and presentations. We can also produce mock-ups from sketches without data or drawings.
Finishing Options
| As it is | No finish, for products that do not require polishing |
|---|---|
| Hand-polishing | Remove cutting marks with sandpaper. Increasing the grit level step by step results in a smooth surface. |
| Transparency | We have established transparency treatment technology for polycarbonate. Our unique transparency treatment can restore the original transparency of the material. While there are polishing methods that require a great deal of man-hours to achieve transparency, we have achieved a “high cost performance” with our transparency treatment method that can result in high transparency in a short period of time. |
| Burner seared | The surface of the acrylic is seared with a burner to make the surface smooth. |
Past Works
Transmission Case
Visualization of interior for any mechanical parts is available.
Internal visualization for transmissions is used in automobiles / industrial machines.
It is possible to observe the internal oil flow inside. It is possible to reproduce the original shape with high precision by combining polycarbonate machining and our unique technologies of transparent treatment.
CFRP Lightweight Resins
We can manufacture high-strength parts at relatively low cost compared to thermosetting CFRP.
【Advantages】
- Lower cost than thermoset CFRP used in aircraft and competition vehicles
- Cutting can be performed from plate material (continuous processing is possible)
- Can be recycled
PTFE Lathing
Lathing is available, aside from CNC machining and 3d printing.
Material: PTFE
FAQs
CNC machining offers many advantages. For example, in addition to high precision and short delivery times, a wide range of materials can be processed.
Depending on the shape, it may be possible to perform integrated processing using our 5-axis processing machines. It is also possible to use a split lamination method. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
We accept orders for as low as one piece. Although our main focus is on small quantities, we can also handle up to several hundred pieces for cutting. If the quantity is larger than that, we propose a simple mold.
Almost any type of resin can be handled. We can also process engineering plastics. Nonferrous metal processing is also available in-house.
We can process small, precision parts.
Maximum sizes are 47.2/31.5/13.8 inches.
Depending on the material, even larger sizes can be accommodated through bonding.
