Benefits of precision machining

While there is a cost associated with precision advanced machining, industries such as aerospace, robotics, and automotive, along with surgical device manufacturers, require complex parts fitting and functioning together flawlessly.

High dimensional accuracy

Tight tolerances are the name of the precision machining game. With specialized tools and processes, precision machining can achieve tolerances as close as ±0.0001 inch (0.0025mm) from a 3D model’s ideal dimensions.

Consistency

Besides achieving the industry’s tightest tolerances, precision machining can also reliably replicate those results at scale, making each part in a run as close to identical as possible.

High volume capability

While precision machining is used for prototypes and custom, small-batch parts, it can also fulfill high-volume orders to the same exacting specifications.

Material and process versatility

Precision machining works with a wide range of materials—many types of metals, plastics, and composites, as well as wood and glass—on a variety of milling, turning, grinding, drilling, laser, and multi-axis CNC machines.

Efficiency

Thanks to highly automated and accurate processes, precision machining contributes to a factory’s productivity with high production speeds, efficient use of the workforce, and low defect rates.

Safety

With highly automated, computer-controlled precision machining, workers stay clear of dangerous cutting and grinding operations and can focus on valuable higher-level skills like CNC programming.
