Frequently Asked Questions

What is CNC machining, and why is it important?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a computerised manufacturing method that employs automated, precision-controlled tools to create parts with exceptional accuracy and consistency. This process is crucial for sectors that require strict dimensional specifications, dependable performance, and uniform product standards, including the mining, defence, healthcare, and electronics industries.

What tolerances can you achieve with CNC machining?

We machine parts to tolerances of up to ±0.01mm, making our services suitable for safety-critical and high-performance applications. Every component is inspected under strict Australian-based quality control to ensure accuracy.

Do you handle both prototypes and production runs?

Yes. We offer 24-hour rapid prototyping for urgent design validation and testing, as well as scalable production runs, from small batches to large-volume manufacturing. This flexibility makes us a reliable partner across all stages of your project.

What materials do you work with?

Our CNC machining services cover a wide range of materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and engineering plastics such as Nylon, PEEK, and ABS. This material's versatility allows us to support a wide range of industry applications.

Do you provide finishing options with CNC machining?

Yes. We offer a variety of finishing and secondary processes to deliver fully finished parts. These include bead blasting, anodising, powder coating, electroplating, welding, and fabrication. This ensures components are delivered ready for use.

How fast can I get CNC machined parts?

Turnaround depends on complexity and volume, but urgent prototypes can be produced in as little as 24 hours. For larger runs, our Melbourne-based facility and nationwide logistics partners ensure fast and reliable delivery across the country.
