CNC Turning/Lathing Service
What We Offer
Our primary focus in offering CNC turning/lathing services is precision and accuracy. Harnessing the capabilities of advanced CNC machinery, we meticulously craft parts from a wide range of materials, including various plastics and metals.
We excel at creating complex, symmetrical components, ensuring your prototypes or small-batch production runs adhere to the most stringent standards of quality.
While we uphold the utmost efficiency in our operations, our main goal remains delivering parts that meet your exact specifications for flawless performance.

Past Works
PTFE Lathing
Lathing PTFE material is available, aside from CNC machining and 3d printing.
Material: PTFE
Please feel free to contact us.
Adequate support will be provided by our experienced designers until prototype completion.
Finishing Options
Coloring/Painting
We offer a wide range of colors and finishes including solid color, metallic, clear, and gradient color.
Our in-house toning ensures that we can match the color sample you provide, and we always secure approval for the toned test pieces before proceeding.
Precision Masking
Need specific areas of your part to remain untouched during the finishing process?
Our precision masking has got you covered. Utilizing a high-precision cutting machine, we meticulously mask off areas that require protection during painting or other finish applications.
Metallizing
We use advanced aluminum vapor deposition techniques to create a metal-like finish on your parts, enhancing both their visual appeal and durability.
Composite decorations, including painting and masking on aluminum evaporation, are also available.
Pros and Cons of CNC Milling
Advantages
- High Precision and Accuracy: CNC turning is highly precise, able to create intricate details and maintain tight tolerances consistently across multiple parts.
- Versatility: It can work with a broad range of materials, including various types of plastic and metal.
- Scalability: It’s suitable for both low-volume prototyping and high-volume production.
Disadvantages
- Limited Geometry: CNC turning is primarily used for creating parts that are rotationally symmetrical. It’s not as versatile as some other processes for complex, asymmetrical designs.
- Material Waste: Compared to additive manufacturing methods like 3D printing, CNC turning can create more waste because material is removed rather than added.
