CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing method that uses a cutting tool to moves and rotate to remove material. CNC mills can be used for cutting and machining operations of various plastic and metal materials. It is suitable for any industry that requires precision components and is also an ideal tool for making molds.
CNC turning removes material by contacting a cutter with the high-speed rotating workpiece and is usually used to create round or tubular shapes. The CNC turning process allows the generation of complex external geometries and internal holes, including the machining of various threads.
5-axis CNC machining allows complex parts with multiple side features to process up to five sides in a single setup. This can pay big dividends in better machine utilization, reduce setups and cycle times, and improve quality. The ability of 5-axis machining will make our CNC shop more cost-effective for a wider range of work.

FROM CNC PROTOTYPING TO LOW-VOLUME PRODUCTION
Prototyping is the process of creating plastic and metal parts through CNC processing. It allows your design team to closely simulate the appearance, function, and material properties of the final product. Moreover, testing the suitability and manufacturability of components is help to prove and perfect the design.
We offer professional CNC services to ensure quality and accuracy, with a commitment to fast delivery.
The advantages of CNC machining are particularly well suited to the requirements of low-volume production runs of custom parts. Its accuracy and repeatability, flexible processes, as well as a wide range of material options help bring products to market faster. Whatever you need to custom machined parts or products, our CNC machine shop can offer integrated solutions to help you shorten production time.
Need 50 or 10,000 custom machined parts? We have the capability and experience to provide efficient custom CNC machining services at a reasonable price.
CNC machining is a versatile manufacturing technology that can be used for a wide range of applications. Common examples include components for the aerospace, automotive, medical industries and etc.

There are a wide variety of materials that can be machined using CNC technology, TECeramic provides CNC machining quotes for more than 30 engineering-grade plastic and metal materials. In terms of finishes, various types of surface finishes can be applied to CNC machined parts.
-Plastic: ABS, PC, ABS+PC, PMMA(Acrylic), PA(Nylon), PA+GF30, POM(Acetal / Delrin), PP, PVC, HDPE, PPS, PEEK, PEI(Ultem), Teflon, Bakelite Resin, Epoxy Tooling Board.
-Metal: Aluminum, Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Magnesium Alloy, Titanium Alloy, Zinc Alloy.
-Finishes: We support one-stop CNC machining surface finishing to meet the visual and functional requirements of any design. Including sanding, sandblasting, mirror polishing, painting, printing, laser etching, anodizing, electroplating, nickel plating, chrome plating, powder coating, etc.
More than 30 engineering-grade materials can be used for CNC plastic machining. The machined plastic parts are 100% functional and able to be mechanically tested.
Whether it is prototypes or end-use parts, our mastery of CNC metal machining techniques helps us achieve tighter tolerances, faster turnaround times, and more challenging manufacturing projects.
TECeramic’s standard tolerance is applied to ISO 2768 (medium) for machined plastic and ISO 2768 (fine) for machined metals. Typically, we can hold a CNC machining tolerance from ±0.005″ (±0.125mm) to ±0.002″ (±0.05mm). If tighter tolerances are required, a 2D drawing with complete information will be necessary. Our engineering team will communicate with you the critical dimensional tolerances and provide the highest degree of precision possible.
Design For Manufacturability
Optimize your designs to avoid unnecessary machining features, limit part complexity, help reduce CNC machining costs and time, and create machined parts faster and more efficiently.
Any internal cut will generate a fillet that is half the diameter of the tool used. Milling with smaller tools takes a long time and we recommend that the radius should be greater than 1/3 of the depth of machining. The best bet is to relieve internal corners or allow for as large an internal radius as possible on mating part designs and use the same radius on all inside edges so that the same tool can be used throughout the CNC machining processes.
The depth of the cavity and groove is usually related to the diameter of the tool used to make the internal fillets, and a good rule of thumb is to keep the cavity depth 3 – 4 times the tool diameter or the groove depth less than 4 times the feature width. Whether blind holes or through holes, the recommended maximum depth is 4 times the diameter and the minimum hole diameter is 1 mm, and it is recommended to design standard size holes. With a standard drill, holes can be machined quickly and with high precision; for non-standard holes, using an end mill will increase costs.
As with tall walls, vibration increases when machining thin features. As a guide, the minimum thickness of thin-walled metal parts should be 0.5-0.8 mm, and the minimum thickness of plastic parts should be 1.0- 1.5 mm. If the walls are for supporting action or taller features, the wall thickness should be increased to avoid vibrations during CNC machining processes.
You may need to mark parts with part numbers or company names. Adding text looks really cool in the custom CNC machining, but is time-consuming to process; electrochemical etching or laser marking is usually better. If you must cut text, choose recessed rather than raised text whenever possible, keep it simple and large, with a font depth of no more than 0.3mm.
Sticking to standard sizes is also important when creating threads. Length should be kept to a maximum of 3 times the nominal diameter of a hole. For blind hole tapping, it is preferable to add an additional length of at least 1/2 hole diameter at the root of the hole. You might also think about using inserts. threaded coils and brass nuts provide longer service life than bare threads, especially in soft materials such as aluminum or plastic, and are easy to install.

From prototype to production, from 1 to 10,000 pieces, we offer fast turnaround CNC machining of your custom metal and plastic parts with as fast as 3-day delivery.
TECeramic has a 35,000 square foot CNC machining shop. With 60+ skilled employees and 16 high-performance CNC machines, maintain 24/7 operations and can deliver over 300 machining projects and 20,000+ machined parts per month in our CNC machining centers.
Our engineering and sales teams will provide one-on-one quote support for your project. Typically, for similar parts, CNC lathes cost 15% less to machine than standard 3-axis CNC milling. In contrast, the cost of 5-axis machining increases, continuous 5-axis CNC milling typically costs over 20% higher than an indexed 5-axis machine (also referred to as 3+2 milling), and about double that of a standard 3-axis mill. To achieve the most cost-effective CNC machined parts, larger production runs are recommended to spread the cost of machine setup.
Maximum Dimensions (3-axis milling): 1270×508×635 (mm).
Maximum Dimensions (5-axis milling): 450×700×400 (mm), Worktable Diameter Φ400 mm.
Once the machining process is complete, the CNC parts surface will have slight visible tool marks, called “as-machined” or “as-milled” surface finish. Machined surface roughness (Ra) is standardized at 1.6-3.2 μm, and surface finish requirements can be increased to 0.8-1.6 μm or higher at 0.2-0.8 μm, however, this will require more operating time and higher costs.
