Mills
CNC mills are exceptionally adept at crafting geometric designs, meeting rapid production timelines. Our CNC prototyping capabilities encompass both 3-axis mills, suitable for various simple and complex parts, and 5-axis mills, allowing for enhanced precision and flexibility in creating intricate shapes, satisfying a broad range of manufacturing needs.
Lathe
A CNC lathe machine utilizes computer-controlled precision to shape materials. Unlike manual lathes, it automatically processes material, such as metal, into desired forms. The intricate programming allows for exact control over cutting, enabling the creation of complex, symmetrical shapes. It's vital for tasks like cutting, drilling, and deformation.
Surface Grinder
A CNC surface grinder machine is a computer-controlled tool used to produce a smooth finish on flat surfaces. It employs a spinning wheel covered in rough particles to grind away minor deformities and imperfections. By automating the traditional grinding process, CNC surface grinders ensure high precision and uniformity, making them indispensable in many manufacturing settings.
Saws
A CNC saw machine is a computer-controlled cutting tool designed for accurately cutting various materials, including metal, wood, and plastic. By utilizing precise programming, CNC saws can follow complex patterns and specifications, ensuring accurate and repeatable cuts. These machines are often used in industries that require intricate shapes and high production volumes, combining efficiency with exactness.
