CNC Milling Services ​

From Prototype to Low-Volume Production ​

At Yes Prototype, our CNC milling service is dedicated to producing complex geometries and features from plastic and metal, suitable for both prototyping and small-scale manufacturing projects.

What Is CNC Milling? ​

Milling is the process where material is removed from a solid block to create a finished or semi-finished part. Guided by your 3D file, it is optimized to translate your digital design into a physical component.

In CNC milling, the workpiece is clamped into a rigid vice or holding fixture, mounted on a movable table. The table can rotate and pivot, making two axes of movement. Meanwhile, cutting tools attached to a rotating spindle remove material, creating a wide range of complex shapes and part features. Multi-axis milling machines offer significant advantages through the independent movements of the worktable and spindle, ensuring precision, repeatability, and versatility.

Why Choose CNC Milling? ​

CNC milling is perfect for producing angled shapes, slots, channels, chamfers, holes, curves, and flat surfaces, among other features. CNC milling can rapidly remove large volumes of material with high accuracy while maintaining a good surface finish, suitable for a variety of rigid materials. Among all CNC machining processes, milling stands out for its versatility.

Milling is not only used for finishing parts but also for creating tooling for plastic injection molding and pressure die casting. Setup times are minimal, allowing a CAD file to be transformed into a finished part within hours. Since no special tooling is required, there's no minimum order quantity, making the process cost-effective with minimal waste.

What Kind of Materials Can Be CNC Milled? ​

While virtually any solid, stable material can be milled, we offer a standard selection of raw materials, including hard plastics and aluminum, as well as various types of steel, titanium, magnesium, brass, copper, and other alloys.

Please note that some hardened steels may be too tough for CNC machining or might require specialized cutting tools and extended processing times. Similarly, soft elastomers or plastics that cannot maintain a fixed position or deform under the pressure of the cutting tool may not be suitable for milling.
