Prototype Process Selection

CNC - Computer Numerical Controlled Milling

When a single part is needed and is too complex to fabricate by hand, CNC milling is a viable option. In this process, the computer controls the motions of the milling machine, guiding it as it cuts away the surrounding metal to form a part. The result can be an extremely accurate and functional model of the part.

CNC operations tend to take longer than and are usually more expensive than other prototypes. This process is best used to make production tooling.
