Process capability

Built around the cnc machining requirement.

01

CNC milling

Milled components are planned around access, setup reduction, datum control, geometry, and inspection strategy.

02

CNC turning

Turned parts can incorporate detailed radial and axial features with production planning focused on consistency and efficient handling.

03

Multi-axis machining

Multi-axis strategies can reduce setups and support complex surfaces, compound angles, and hard-to-reach features.

04

Prototype machining

Rapid machining supports functional testing, assembly verification, engineering builds, and first-article evaluation.

05

Production machining

Repeat production is built around stable workholding, controlled processes, documented requirements, and scalable inspection.

FAQs

CNC Machining questions.

What tolerances can FPM hold?

Tolerance capability depends on material, feature geometry, size, process, and inspection method. Mark critical dimensions on the drawing for review.

Can you machine production quantities?

Yes. FPM supports prototype through production machining and plans the manufacturing approach around forecast volume and repeat demand.

What should I send for a quote?

Send a 3D model, controlled drawing when available, material, quantity, finish, inspection requirements, and target delivery date.
