All custom machining services, regardless of the metal being cut, require a high rate of precision to meet the specifications of the project. Regardless of the industry in which the final product will be used, custom services must be performed by highly trained and skilled machinists to ensure that the job is done right. These services rely on equipment that must be maintained and continuously improved to reflect the latest advances in technology, and that equipment must be run by highly trained machinists. Even the best, most advanced, equipment is only as good as its operator.
Stainless Steel, CNC Plastic, Bronze, and Aluminum as Materials
Custom machining works with a multitude of materials and provides precision cutting no matter the metal. However, not all metals are the same, with some metals more challenging than others.
For example, stainless steel proves quite difficult to work with when compared to other materials. When dealing with custom projects, it is always a good idea to find a highly-skilled machinist that has experience working with a variety of different metals, and operating across most services.
Custom products are utilizing plastics more than ever due to the improvements in its durability and its relatively low cost. Plastics are growing in popularity as the quality increases, and a full-service shop will also be adept at creating products from CNC plastic in addition to common metals.
Professional machine shops will have trained and skilled technicians on staff who are fully competent in working with all of these materials.
Types and Complexities of Custom Machining Services
There are numerous types of custom services available, with the most popular being 3D milling, turning and threading, and boring operations. Whether you are working with stainless steel, CNC plastic, bronze or aluminum, precision measurement and cutting is required in all instances. Intricate shapes and complex designs require an even greater degree of skill, especially when working with stainless steel and other metals that can be a challenge to work with successfully. Complex geometrical shapes are another challenge in custom machining services, and a top-quality machine shop will be more than able to meet your needs.
