CNC Machining Services.
Complete Surface Finishing Solutions
Precision Manufacturing Excellence
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining creates precision components from metal, plastic, and composite materials. Our managed production cells feature advanced multi-axis equipment and highly experienced machinists who deliver tight-tolerance parts consistently.
Whether you need a single prototype or high-volume production quantities, Aerospace Metals utilizes our managed capacity model to deliver exactly what you require—on time, strictly to specification, and with a single point of accountability.

FAQs
What tolerances can Aerospace Metals achieve?
Our integrated production cells utilize state-of-the-art multi-axis CNC equipment capable of holding tight tolerances down to ±0.0005 inches (or tighter upon engineering review). Aerospace Metals routinely manages complex aerospace and medical components that demand exceptional precision.
Can you handle both prototype and production machining?
Yes. Aerospace Metals is structured to manage the entire product lifecycle seamlessly. We deploy dedicated rapid prototyping cells (1-25 pieces) for initial design validation, alongside high-volume production lines (500+ pieces) equipped with automated systems for maximum cost efficiency.
What file formats do you accept for quoting?
Aerospace Metals accepts most standard CAD file formats, including STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), and SolidWorks (.sldprt). For the most accurate quote, please also provide a 2D PDF drawing with critical dimensions, tolerances, and threads clearly marked.
Do you machine difficult or exotic materials?
Yes. While we machine standard aluminum and steel daily, Aerospace Metals has extensive experience with difficult-to-machine materials including Titanium (Grade 5, 23), Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, and hardened tool steels, as well as engineering plastics like PEEK and Ultem.
Can Aerospace Metals provide inspection reports?
Absolutely. Quality documentation is a standard part of our service. Aerospace Metals can provide First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, AS9102 forms, material certifications (MTRs), and Certificate of Conformance (CoC) packages upon request.
How does your "single source" model benefit my project?
Most machined parts require secondary operations like anodizing, plating, or heat treating. Instead of you managing multiple external vendors—which risks surface damage, miscommunication, and delays—Aerospace Metals retains full accountability from raw material to final inspection. We oversee the machining, finishing, and QA processes to deliver a completed, spec-perfect component directly to your dock.
What is the typical lead time for CNC machined parts?
Standard lead times are typically 2-3 weeks, depending on complexity and material availability. Aerospace Metals also offers expedited "bridge production" and rapid prototyping services for urgent deadlines.
Do you offer design assistance for manufacturability (DFM)?
Yes. The engineering team at Aerospace Metals has decades of machining experience. If we identify features that unnecessarily drive up cost or risk, we will provide DFM feedback to optimize your design for manufacturing, saving you money without compromising function.
