CNC, or computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive manufacturing process that employs automated, high-speed cutting tools to create custom shapes and designs from metal or plastic stock. Standard CNC machines mainly comprise 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling machines, lathes, and routers. The way these machines cut CNC parts may vary. In the case of milling machines, the workpiece remains stationary while the tool is moved; with lathes, the tool remains stationary while the workpiece is rotated and moved; and in the case of routers, both parts move together.
The basic CNC process involves three steps. First, the engineer designs the CAD model of the part. Then, the machinist converts it into a CNC program (G-code), which is used to set up the machine. Finally, the program guides the machine throughout the process as it executes the necessary machine operations to produce a custom-designed part or product. CNC machines can process almost every material, including metals and plastics, as well as foam, composites, and wood. Custom machined parts are suitable for a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial, robotics, construction, and agriculture. XTmade offers CNC services and provides custom CNC quotes for hundreds of materials, including ordinary aluminum alloy, high-strength aircraft-grade aluminum alloy 7075, brass, red copper, bronze, beryllium copper, ordinary steel, maraging steel, stainless steel, powdered high-speed steel, etc. We also work with various plastics, such as Peek, Teflon, nylon, anti-static plastic, and other engineering plastics. Additionally, we offer a range of synthetic materials, including synthetic stone, glass fiber, tungsten steel, ceramics, titanium alloys, and more.
Brass is an alloying consisting of both copper and zinc. The gold materials is a weather- and corrosion- resistant metal with tensile strength similar to mild steel. It’s also an easy to machine material, so feedrates can remain high and coolant need is minimal.
Steel Alloy 4140 is a low alloy steel containing chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. It is widely used across numerous industries and is an excellent material choice for machining due to its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance.
Titanium is a popular material for CNC machining due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, titanium presents unique challenges in machining due to its high strength, low thermal conductivity, and tendency to work harden during cutting.
ABS is a low-cost engineering plastic that is easy to machine. ABS is an ideal material for structural applications when impact resistance, strength, and stiffness are required. It’s widely used for pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to paint and glue.
Delrin 570 is a homopolymer acetal containing 20% glass fiber filler. It has very high stiffness, low warpage, and low creep for superior performance at elevated temperatures.

With its remarkable combination of properties, Delrin stands out as a versatile and reliable material for a diverse range of applications.
HDPE is a high-density polyethylene that is lightweight, has low moisture absorption, is chemical and corrosion resistant, and has high strength. It is great for applications such as orthotic and prosthetic devices, water storage, and tanks.
LDPE is more flexible than HDPE, while still being light-weight and providing chemical and corrosion resistance. It’s extremely flexible making it great for prosthetic devices and thermoformed parts.
Nylon is a versatile and widely used material in CNC machining due to its exceptional properties. Its high tensile strength, low coefficient of friction, and resistance to wear and abrasion make it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability and reliability, such as gears, bushings, and bearings. Additionally, nylon’s low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability ensure consistent performance even in humid or varying temperature conditions.
Its ease of machining, coupled with its chemical resistance, also makes it suitable for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. With its remarkable combination of properties, nylon stands out as a versatile and reliable material for a diverse range of CNC machining applications.
ULTEM is an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) material that combines exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Natural ULTEM is a translucent amber color. Key attributes include excellent mechanical strength, ability to retain strength at elevated temperatures, high heat resistance, and high stress resistance.
PET, also known as Polyethylene Terephthalate, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester with excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, high flexural modules, and superior dimensional stability. It it a very versatile option for mechanical and electro-mechanical parts.
Acrylic, also known as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a versatile plastic material widely used in CNC machining for its remarkable properties. Acrylic’s optical clarity, light transmission, and UV resistance make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from signage and display products to lenses and lighting fixtures.

Each rapid prototyping service has its own unique design rules that, if followed, will help you design a very successful rapid prototype. For precision CNC machining, there are a number of simple design rules that will generally improve your CNC prototype design and will not adversely affect the overall appearance or functionality of the part made through low-volume manufacturing.
Hole depth is one example of a design tip. Try to keep the hole depth to diameter ratio to 10:1 or less to facilitate CNC machining. Any hole deeper than this will likely require a deep hole drilling process step.
Our core focus is rapid prototyping with a minimum order quantity of 1 and low-volume manufacturing solutions up to 100,000 parts. We will not limit you to a rapid manufacturing solution that works for us. Instead, we work with you to create a custom solution that fits your project needs.
