This finishing option with the shortest turnaround time. Parts have visible tool marks and potentially sharp edges and burrs, which can be removed upon request.
Smooth machining is similar to a ‘As machined’ finish, but with less visible machine marks. Parts are machined at a lower feed rate, with no hand polishing.
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment.
Machined parts are bead blasted with glass beads which results in a uniform grainy texture and reduced machining marks.
It is a process that tumbles vibrating media on machined parts to remove sharp edges and burrs.
Tumbling can be used to remove machine marks from exterior surfaces.
The parts are bead blasted to #120 grit before being anodized type II—ideal for increasing the aluminum part’s corrosion resistance and cosmetic effects.
The parts are bead blasted to #120 grit before being anodized type III. Type III (Hard Coat) is thicker and adds a wear-resistant layer to Type II’s corrosion resistance, suitable for functional applications.
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
This is a finish of applying powdered paint to the components and then baking it in an oven, which results in a stronger, more wear- and corrosion-resistant layer that is more durable than traditional painting methods.

CNC milling is a computer-controlled manufacturing process that uses a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired part or product. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, meaning a computer program precisely controls the milling machine’s movements and operations.
The workpiece is securely held in place in CNC milling while the cutting tool moves along multiple axes to shape the material according to the digital design. This process can create complex geometries, intricate details, and high-precision parts.
We carefully verify the materials used for your project, ensuring they meet the desired quality standards and match your specific requirements.
Our experienced and highly skilled machinists and engineers closely monitor every step of the machining process, ensuring each part meets the desired tolerances and specifications.
Throughout the manufacturing process, our quality control team conducts regular inspections and measurements to detect and address any deviations or errors promptly.
Once the parts are machined and finished, our quality control team performs a thorough final inspection, checking dimensions, surface finish, and other required specifications. This guarantees that each part meets your expectations before shipping.
We can machine a wide range of materials via CNC milling, including various metals and plastics. Metals cover aluminum (such as 6061, 7075), stainless steel (like 304, 316), carbon steel, brass, copper, titanium, and more. Plastics include ABS, PC, POM, PP, PE, nylon, PEEK, and other engineering plastics. We select suitable cutting tools and process parameters according to the material properties to ensure machining quality.
The maximum part size we can process through CNC milling depends on the model of our CNC milling machines. For soft metals and plastics, the maximum part size can reach 2000×1500×200mm or 1500×800×500mm; for hard metals, it can reach 1200×800×500mm. If you have parts with larger dimensions, please contact our team in advance, and we will provide a customized machining solution based on your specific needs.
The turnaround time for CNC milling orders varies depending on the complexity of the parts, order quantity, and material selection.
