3-axis CNC milling is one of the most versatile and widely used machining processes, allowing efficient material removal while maintaining:
High dimensional accuracy
Superior surface finish
Ability to produce complex geometries on flat or angled surfaces
While more complex 5-axis mills handle multi-surface parts, 3-axis CNC milling remains ideal for medium-complexity components, small-batch production, and prototyping.
High-Precision Machining
Dimensional tolerances down to ±0.002 mm
Surface finish as low as Ra 0.05 µm
Material Versatility
Titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-7Nb)
Nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy)
Tungsten, Tantalum, Niobium, Molybdenum
Prototyping & Small-Batch Production
From 1–100 pieces, perfect for functional testing and design validation
Complex Features
Slots, pockets, holes, steps, and threads
Multi-step milling on flat surfaces
Post-Milling Operations
Deburring, polishing, anodizing, and coating for functional and aesthetic purposes
