CNC Machine Service
At 3-D Technical Services, we specialize in precision CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining, a vital process in subtractive rapid prototyping. CNC machining allows us to create prototypes directly from the materials necessary for production. This allows us to develop accurate, functioning prototypes that mirror the final product, giving our clients tangible representations of their designs.
Our capabilities reach across a range of materials, including but not limited to:
- Acrylic
- Aluminum
- Foundry Board
- Polycarbonate
- Renshape
- Other Plastics
We operate numerous machining centers with a capacity of up to 4′ x 8′. This allows us to handle large-scale projects and complex components. Whether we are machining quick-study models from Renshape (urethane tooling board) or crafting high-fidelity parts for specialized equipment, our team can provide you with high-performance prototypes that meet your budget and level of detail, best suited to your purpose.
At 3-D Technical Services, we understand that every project is unique. We utilize software to generate tool paths, ensuring optimal machining precision. Our clients can provide CAD surface data, or if preferred, we can develop designs based on verbal descriptions or hand sketches. Our experienced staff is skilled in both programming and machining, ensuring that each prototype is produced to the highest standards.
CNC Machining for Prototyping and Small Batch Production
CNC machining is ideal for a variety of applications, particularly when high accuracy and material integrity are crucial. Whether you need a one-off prototype for testing or a small batch for initial production runs, CNC machining provides a fast, reliable solution. The ability to machine materials directly offers several advantages, including decreased lead times and the ability to test with actual production materials.
Examples of CNC Machining Projects
We have successfully completed numerous CNC machining projects across a variety of industries. Below are a couple of examples that highlight our capabilities.
Product Carrier Redesign
A leading consumer product company faced operational challenges when their rigid ABS plastic product carriers broke during packing line crashes. This resulted in downtime, product loss, and high replacement costs.
Tradeshow Models
A leading provider of highway safety solutions wanted to showcase their large, bulky products at trade shows but struggled with booth space and shipping constraints.
