Frequently Asked Questions

What is CNC manufacturing, and why is it important?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) manufacturing is the use of automated, computer-controlled machines to produce high-precision parts at scale. Unlike manual processes, CNC manufacturing ensures repeatability, accuracy, and efficiency across both small and large production runs. It is essential for industries where reliability, tight tolerances, and cost-effective scaling are critical.

What tolerances can you achieve with CNC manufacturing?

We achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, making our services suitable for safety-critical and performance-driven applications in industries such as defence, medical equipment, automotive, mining, and electronics. Every part undergoes strict Australian-based quality inspection.

Do you handle both prototypes and production runs?

Yes. We offer 24-hour rapid prototyping for urgent validation and testing, as well as scalable production runs ranging from small batches to high-volume manufacturing. This flexibility makes CNC manufacturing ideal across every stage of a project.

What materials can be used in CNC manufacturing?

We machine components from aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and engineering plastics such as Nylon, PEEK, and ABS. This material versatility ensures that we can support specialised needs across diverse industries.

Do you provide finishing options with CNC manufacturing?

Yes. We offer anodising, powder coating, bead blasting, electroplating, welding, and fabrication, enabling us to deliver fully finished, ready-to-use components.

How fast can I get CNC-manufactured parts?

Turnaround depends on the size and complexity of the order, but urgent prototypes can be manufactured in as little as 24 hours. Larger production runs are managed with efficient lead times, and our Melbourne facility, combined with a nationwide logistics network, ensures on-time delivery across Australia.
