Machining FAQ
What materials can be processed through machining?
Our machining services handle a wide range of materials including aluminum alloys (6061, 7075), stainless steels (303, 304, 316), titanium grades (2, 5), tool steels (D2, A2), brass, copper, and various engineering plastics. We can work with materials up to 65 HRC hardness.
How do you ensure precision in machining operations?
We maintain precision through regular calibration of equipment (weekly), temperature-controlled environments (±1°F), premium cutting tools with automatic tool compensation, and comprehensive inspection procedures including CMM validation. All machinists are certified to ISO 9001 standards.
What file formats do you accept for machining projects?
We accept all standard CAD formats including STEP, IGES, Parasolid, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD files. For 2D machining, we support DXF and DWG formats. Our engineering team can also work from hand sketches or physical samples to create machining programs.
