From prototype to production, our 5-step CNC machining process
Our process supports everything from one-off prototypes to repeat production runs, focusing on precision, efficiency, and clear communication.
Step 1
Share your design or idea
We can work from CAD files, engineering drawings, or even hand-marked sketches. If needed, we’ll offer input to improve manufacturability.
Step 2
Prototype or first-off sample
We produce a sample or prototype so you can check dimensions, fit, and function before committing to production.
Step 3
Review and adjust
Based on feedback, we make any required changes to ensure the part meets your technical and performance requirements.
Step 4
Production machining
Once approved, we machine the whole batch whether it’s 10 parts or several hundred with consistent accuracy and surface finish.
Step 5
Inspection and delivery
All parts are checked using our metrology tools before dispatch. We deliver on time and ready for use in your production, assembly or testing workflow.
Materials we machine
We work with a wide range of engineering materials to meet the needs of different industries and applications. It may be that the job calls for lightweight aluminium, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, or tough tool steels; our CNC machines are set up to deliver accurate results across all grades.
We’re also experienced in machining engineering plastics like acetal and nylon and softer metals such as copper and brass. This versatility allows us to support projects ranging from electrical housings to heavy-duty industrial parts, all with the same precision and quality control.
If you’re unsure about material compatibility or performance, we’re happy to provide advice based on 35+ years of hands-on experience in machining and component design.
Metrology and quality assurance
Every part we produce undergoes a controlled inspection process to meet the required specifications. Accuracy isn’t just a claim; it’s something we measure.
In a climate-controlled environment, we use high-precision Mitutoyo instruments, granite surface tables, microscopes and gauges to verify critical dimensions, tolerances, and surface finishes. If it’s a one-off part or a whole production batch, it does not matter; we inspect it throughout the machining process and again before final delivery.
This level of quality assurance gives our customers confidence that parts will fit, perform and last as intended without costly delays or rework.

Frequently asked questions about our CNC machining services
display none
What types of materials can your machine?
We regularly machine aluminium, stainless steel, tool steels, mild steel, copper, brass and a range of engineering plastics like acetal and nylon. If you’re unsure whether your material is compatible, we can assess the product and recommend something suitable.
Do you handle both prototyping and production runs?
Yes. We support one-off prototypes, short runs, and ongoing production batches. Whether you’re testing a concept or need a consistent supply for assembly, we adapt our setup to suit the scope and schedule of your project.
What part sizes can your machine?
Our equipment is suited to small to medium-sized components. Most jobs fall within a range of up to 600mm in size, depending on the geometry and setup. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Can you help improve or adjust my design for machining?
Yes. With over 35 years of experience, we can provide input on manufacturability, tolerances, and material selection to help ensure your part is optimised for cost-effective, accurate machining.
What tolerances can you hold?
We work to tight tolerances suited for precision assemblies and mating components. Standard tolerance is usually ±0.05mm, but we can achieve tighter specifications depending on material, function and geometry.
Do I need to provide a CAD file?
A CAD file is ideal but we can work from technical drawings or a physical sample. We can support you with CAD modelling and prototyping if you’re still in the design stage.
How do you ensure quality before delivery?
All parts go through detailed inspection using various metrology equipment, granite tables, and calibrated gauges. We check parts for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and consistency before delivery, whether a single item or a whole batch.
