CNC Machining - Engineered for Accuracy, Performance & Production

CNC machining is the preferred manufacturing process for components that require tight tolerances, production-grade materials, and dependable mechanical performance. Working directly from your CAD files, we manufacture precision components in engineering plastics and metals for functional prototypes, tooling, low-volume production, and end-use applications. 

Our CNC machining capabilities include both CNC Milling and CNC Turning, enabling us to produce a broad range of components across different geometries, sizes, and material requirements. From complex prismatic parts to precision cylindrical components, our team will recommend the most suitable machining process — or combination of processes — to achieve the best outcome for accuracy, manufacturability, lead time, and cost efficiency.

CNC Milling-Complex Geometry. Tight Tolerances. Fast Turnaround.

CNC milling is the process of choice for prismatic, asymmetric, and multi-featured parts — where the geometry includes pockets, slots, contoured surfaces, bores, and flat faces that cannot be produced by turning alone. We mill engineering plastics and metals directly from your STEP or IGES files, producing accurate, production-representative parts with excellent surface finishes and tight dimensional tolerances. 

Whether you need a single prototype bracket, a machined aluminium housing, or a batch of complex multi-feature components, our Brisbane facility delivers same-day quoting and rapid production turnaround.

What is CNC Milling?

CNC milling uses rotating multi-point cutting tools to progressively remove material from a fixed workpiece. The cutting tool moves across multiple axes — typically 3-axis as standard — to produce complex three-dimensional profiles from solid stock material. 

Unlike CNC turning, which is suited to cylindrical and rotationally symmetric parts, CNC milling excels at parts with: 

  • Flat and contoured faces — machined surfaces, steps, tapers, and sculpted profiles 
  • Internal pockets and cavities — enclosed features, recesses, and undercuts 
  • Precision holes and bores — drilled, reamed, and bored to tight diameter tolerances 
  • Slots and keyways — open and closed slots, T-slots, dovetails 
  • Threads — tapped holes in any orientation; both metric and imperial 
  • Complex external profiles — irregular outlines and contoured external geometry

CNC Turning-Cylindrical Precision. Consistent Diameters. Fast Turnaround.

CNC turning is the process of choice for cylindrical, rotationally symmetric, and axially featured parts — where consistent diameter tolerances, concentricity, and surface finish across a turned profile are the primary requirements. We turn engineering plastics and metals directly from your CAD files, producing accurate shafts, bushings, fittings, connectors, and threaded components with tight diameter tolerances and excellent as-turned surface finishes.

What is CNC Turning?

CNC turning holds the workpiece in a rotating chuck while a fixed cutting tool removes material to produce the desired profile. The process is exceptionally efficient for rotationally symmetric geometry — delivering tight diameter tolerances, consistent surface finish, and high repeatability across a production run. 

  • CNC turning is the right process when your part features: 
  • Turned external diameters — straight, stepped, tapered, and contoured profiles 
  • Turned internal bores — drilled, bored, and reamed to precise diameter and depth 
  • Threads — external and internal, metric and imperial, turned to class fit 
  • Grooves and undercuts — O-ring grooves, snap-ring grooves, relief undercuts 
  • Chamfers and radii — standard lead-in chamfers and profiled radii 
  • Knurling — straight, diamond, and cross patterns for grip surfaces 
  • Live tooling features — cross-holes, flats, keyways, and slots added without re-fixturing (where live tooling is available)

3D Prototyping have a range of materials available including: 

  • ABS: Widely used for functional applications. Surfaces can be metalised, chromed and vacuum metalised or painted. 
  • PMMA: Recommend for clear visual components. Surfaces can be dyed, plated, painted and silk screen printed. 
  • Polypropylene (PP): Flexible material, ideally suited to impact tests. 
  • Polycarbonate (PC): Has excellent strength, flexibility and transparency. Often used for lens/glass applications. 
  • Nylon 6 and Nylon 66: Has good tensile strength and flexibility. 
  • Glass filled Nylon: (GF 15%) for high strength in load testing. 
  • Aluminum: Al 6061 , Al 7075 etc. with or without anodizing  
  • Steel: Carbon Steel , 304 S/S , 631 S/S
