CNC Machining
(CNC Milling/Turning)
CNC machining is a metal fabrication method where written code controls the machinery in the manufacturing process. It uses sharp cutting tools, available in a variety of shapes and sizes, which are precisely controlled by a computer.

CNC Machining Service
ZPL Precision delivers custom CNC machining for global industries, covering rapid prototyping, small batches & mass production for metal and plastic parts.Certified with ISO 9001 & ISO 13485, we provide full inspection reports and professional technical support throughout your project.
We guarantee 15-day quality assurance, responding to quality issues same-day, and deliver cost-effective precision parts on schedule.
CNC Milling
Prototype CNC milling leverages computer controls to drive rotary cutting tools. The spinning tools cut away excess workpiece material to produce parts with required shapes and sizes. Our CNC mills range from 3-axis to 5-axis variants. Multi-axis metal CNC machining needs no fixed tooling, offering great flexibility and high accuracy.
CNC Turning
CNC turning delivers high-quality deep holes, machined threads and cylindrical parts with premium surface finishes. We produce drums, rings, shafts and castings, with additional milling and boring services on offer. Top Prototype CNC turning supports precision parts, fast lead times and flexible order volumes.

CNC Produces Machining Materials
Choose from over 50 production-grade material options for your CNC parts.
Our CNC machining supports a wide range of materials, covering metals and plastics.
Check our material list or reach out to us to discuss your custom requirements.
| Materials | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Aluminum | Aluminum has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio among these metals. This is an excellent choice for high load requirements on aircraft mounts and enclosures. Aluminum also has good ductility, stiffness, corrosion resistance and workability. Its lightweight properties make it useful in aerospace structural applications such as fuselage skins, wing ribs, wing skins, etc. |
 | Copper | Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and plasticity. It is also highly ductile, corrosion resistant and easy to weld. |
 | Stainless steel | Stainless steel is a type of mild steel whose properties are sought after in many industrial applications. Stainless steel usually contains at least 10% chromium by weight. They are the first choice for critical joints in engine and exhaust components, landing gear components and aircraft superstructures, ensuring high performance and durability. |
| Titanium | Titanium has many material properties that make it an ideal metal for demanding applications. These properties include excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals and extreme temperatures. This metal also has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. |
 | Plastic | Plastic is also a very popular choice for CNC machining because of its wide selection, relatively low prices, and significantly faster machining times. We offer CNC machining services for all common plastics. |
CNC Machining Surface Treatment
CNC prototype surface finishing serves both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Each finish has specific constraints on material, color, texture and cost.
Explore our available surface treatment options for your parts.
| Process | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Sandblasting | After sandblasting treatment, the surface of the parts has a matte texture. It is mainly used for visual applications and can then undergo other surface treatments. |
 | Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhances wear resistance and hardness, and protects metal surfaces. Widely used in mechanical parts, precision instruments, aircraft, automobile parts, etc. |
 | Electrostatic spraying | Electrostatic spraying is a coating applied as a free-flowing dry powder. Unlike traditional liquid coatings, which are delivered by evaporating solvents, powder coatings are typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or UV light |
| Polishing | The polishing range spans from Ra 0.8 to Ra 0.1. The polishing technique utilizes abrasive materials to rub against the surface of the parts, leading to the surface of the parts becoming either more lustrous or less lustrous, all depending on your requirements. |
| Plating | The electroplating coating enables the reduction and deposition of metal cations by applying an electric current, which can protect the surface of the parts and prevent corrosion caused by rust and other defects. |

FAQ
CNC machining refers to the machining process proceed by Computerized Numberical Control (CNC for short).It’s a manufacturing process which involves the use of automated rotating cutting tools and lathes to make custom designed metal and plastic parts. Our CNC machines precisely remove material from solid metal or plastic blocks to develop custom parts that can range from simple lines to complex shapes. With this manufacturing process we can develop custom machine parts, prototypes and tooling such as subplates, rotary fixtures, automotive and aerospace fixtures.
Also called precision machining, the CNC machining could reach a very high accuracy in geometical tolerance and dimensional tolerance. With our CNC machines and Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC) and Vertical Machining Centers (VMC), we can almost meet all of your required tolerance grades.
We work with many types of Stainless Steels, Aluminums ,metals and plastics (i.e. Teflon, Delrin, Acetal) and many more.
For CNC machining components, we can have them as machined, de-burred, sanded, polished, painted, silk screened, electroplated, anodized, etc. It all depends on your needs.
