CNC Machining — Engineered for Accuracy & Production

Delivering Precision Machined Components since 2008

CNC machining is the preferred process for components needing tight tolerances and production-grade materials. Working directly from your CAD files, we manufacture precision parts in engineering plastics and metals — for functional prototypes, tooling, low-volume and end-use production.

Why 3D Prototyping

The right machining process for your part

Expert technology selection

Our engineers match your geometry, material and tolerance requirements to the optimal process — every time.

✓ Quality assured output

Rigorous in-process inspection and post-processing quality checks on every job, regardless of volume.

Fast turnaround

Production-ready parts delivered rapidly. Expedited options available for urgent prototype requirements.

Our capabilities

CNC machining capabilities

CNC Milling

CNC Milling

Our CNC machining centres handle prismatic, asymmetric and multi-featured components — pockets, slots, contoured surfaces, precision bores and faced datums — in metals and engineering plastics, with 3-axis machining as standard and 4- and 5-axis available for complex geometries. Tight tolerances are held on critical features, with tighter limits available on request. Milling suits brackets, housings, manifolds, mould cores and fixture plates — from one-off functional prototypes through to repeat production batches with full dimensional reporting.

CNC Turning

CNC Turning

Cylindrical and rotationally symmetric parts — shafts, bushings, spacers, fittings and threaded components — are produced on CNC lathes capable of cross-drilled and milled features in a single setup. Tight diameter tolerances and excellent as-turned surface finishes reduce or eliminate the need for secondary grinding. Metric and imperial threads are cut to gauge, and concentricity-critical parts are inspected against your datum scheme before dispatch.

Materials & Finishes

Materials & Finishes

We machine engineering plastics including ABS, polycarbonate, PMMA, nylon and glass-filled nylon, alongside aluminium 6061 and 7075, carbon steel and 304/316 stainless. Material certificates are available where traceability is required. Finishing options include anodising, zinc plating, powder coating, bead blasting and engraving — so parts arrive colour-matched, corrosion-protected and ready for assembly.

What Clients Say About Our Service

We work with engineers, designers and procurement teams across Australia every day.

★★★★★

“I would highly recommend Pratik at 3D Printing — with his analytical mind he helped re-engineer a component for an electric scooter. The final design was cost effective, strong and an exact fit.”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We accept STL, STEP, STP, OBJ, IGES, and 3MF. STL is preferred for most processes. If your file is in another format, upload what you have and our engineering team will assess it.

Standard lead times depend on the technology, part complexity, and production method. They range from 3–5 business days for prototypes to 8–10 weeks for injection-moulded parts. Accurate lead times are provided with every quote.

Build envelopes vary by system: SLA up to 800×800×550mm; SLS up to 360×360×420mm; MJF up to 380×380×280mm; SLM up to 450×450×500mm; FDM up to 1000×1000×1000mm. Oversized parts can be split and bonded — contact us for a feasibility review.

There is no minimum order quantity. We regularly produce single prototypes through to production runs of thousands of parts. Pricing scales with volume — ask us for a batch quote.

Yes. We offer media blasting, dyeing, priming, painting, sanding, vapour smoothing, and custom colour matching. All post-processing is handled in-house to maintain full quality control and traceability.

Absolutely. All client files and intellectual property are treated as strictly confidential. We are happy to sign a mutual NDA before receiving your files — just ask.

Yes. We ship to all states and territories across Australia with same-day dispatch for completed orders.

Compress your files into a single .zip folder and attach the zip when you upload. That keeps everything together and uploads in one go. STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF and IGES files are all accepted inside the zip.
