From 3-axis milling to 5-axis simultaneous machining, we can meet all your machining needs. Get CNC-milled parts from a single source. Thanks to our extensive production network, we offer a comprehensive range of CNC milling services.
Choose from the largest selection of materials and surface treatments for your CNC-milled parts , whether you need a prototype, a series or a single piece. Our CNC-milling procedure process can handle components measuring up to 7500x3000x2200 mm with wall thicknesses as thin as 0.2 mm.
In 3-axis milling, the drilling head moves along the X, Y and Z axes — horizontally, vertically, and in depth — to machine the workpiece. This method is particularly useful for producing flat surfaces (e.g. grooves) and vertical holes. A natural consequence of CNC milling is that the inner edges of a part become rounded.
To avoid impairing the functionality of the production part, it is also possible to use the spark erosion (EDM) process. This process involves creating an electrical discharge from an electrode tool, which evaporates specific material from the workpiece. This enables the creation of sharp inner edges and other shapes.
Three axes of movement are often insufficient for producing complex geometric shapes, which is why modern 5-axis milling machines have two additional axes (A and C), around which either the milling tool or the workpiece carrier can rotate. This means that the CNC milling machine can be positioned at any angle to the workpiece.
In the case of 5-axis simultaneous machining, all five axes can move at the same time. This means that the workpiece can usually be machined in a single operation. Three-axis milled parts can also be produced using five-axis milling machines. As well as the extended production spectrum of 5-axis milling, workpieces can be machined from different angles, so less time-consuming and error-prone clamping is required than with 3-axis milling.

Frequently requested materials
Aluminum alloys - CNC milled parts ideal for prototypes and series production
Aluminium is an ideal material for CNC milled parts and is widely used. This is because it is a versatile, lightweight metal with a remarkably high strength-to-weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance thanks to the formation of a protective oxide layer, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
It can be milled very well, enabling high cutting speeds and high-quality, almost mirror-like surface finishes when producing milled aluminium parts. The low cutting forces protect the tool and machine. The key advantage of CNC-milled aluminium parts is their low weight and high stability, making them superior to steel in many applications. This is why CNC milling of aluminium is firmly established in industries such as aerospace, automotive and mechanical engineering.
However, particular challenges include thermal expansion and the formation of long chips, requiring reliable cooling for process control.

Stainless steel and steel - Ideal for robust and versatile CNC milled parts
Steel and stainless steel are essential materials for heavy-duty CNC-milled parts. Both metals are characterised by their extreme hardness, strength and durability, with stainless steel also offering excellent corrosion protection. Although CNC milling requires higher cutting forces, it produces extremely robust and precise milled parts.
The main advantages of these parts lie in their superior mechanical strength and high wear resistance. For this reason, CNC-milled steel parts are firmly established in mechanical engineering, tool and mould making, and the automotive industry. Thanks to its additional corrosion resistance, stainless steel is used in the medical technology, food, chemical, pharmaceutical and aerospace sectors.
The challenge when milling these materials with a CNC machine lies in the high tool wear and strong heat development, which requires adapted manufacturing strategies. Despite the higher costs, production is economical when maximum stability is required.

Other metals - Ideal for highly specialized CNC milled parts with special properties
For the production of highly specialized CNC milled partsthe choice of the right material is crucial. In addition to steel and aluminium, we produce a wide range of CNC-milling procedure made of non-ferrous and special metals.
- Copper (OF-Cu | 2.0040): As a material with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, copper is the first choice for CNC-milled parts in electrical engineering and energy technology, e.g. for electrodes or heat exchangers. The Milling copper requires sharp tools and good chip removal.
- Brass (Ms58 | CuZn39Pb3 | 2.0401): For high-precision and economical CNC-milled parts brass is often the first choice. Thanks to its unsurpassed machinability, this alloy enables particularly fast production of complex geometries with excellent surface quality. It is therefore the ideal material for sophisticated components such as valves, fittings or precision engineering components.
- Bronze (CuSn8 | 2.1030): The high wear resistance and excellent emergency running properties make bronze a key material for CNC milled parts in mechanical engineering. The alloy minimizes friction and prevents galling at high contact pressure, making it ideal for durable components. Typical applications include CNC-manufactured plain bearings, highly stressed bushings and wear-resistant gear wheels.
- Titanium (Ti Gr 5 | Ti6Al4V | 3.7165): When maximum performance is required, there is no way around titanium. It is the ultimate material for CNC-milled partswhich must be extremely lightweight, high-strength and absolutely corrosion-resistant at the same time. This unique combination makes it indispensable in the aerospace industry and for biocompatible implants in medical technology. We master the demanding machining process with special expertise and adapted processes to ensure the uncompromising quality of your components.
Plastic - Lightweight and versatile CNC parts as an alternative to metal
CNC-milled plastic parts are a versatile and often superior alternative to metal. CNC milling harnesses their unique properties to create high-precision, functional components.
Key advantages include low weight for lightweight construction and dynamic components, high corrosion and chemical resistance for use in medical technology or aggressive environments, and excellent electrical insulation for electronics.
Production is also very cost-efficient as plastics allow high cutting speeds with minimal tool wear, reducing costs. Specific materials expand the possibilities: POM offers excellent sliding properties for bearings and gears, while transparent PMMA is ideal for viewing windows. However, overcoming challenges such as the low melting point and high thermal expansion requires expertise. This can be achieved using sharp tools and reliable cooling, often with compressed air, to prevent deformation and guarantee maximum precision and surface quality.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about CNC milling
What is CNC milling and how does it work?
CNC milling is a machining process in which chips are removed from a material body. Unlike CNC turning, it is not the workpiece that rotates quickly around its own axis, but the milling tool, usually with multiple cutting edges, with which it is machined. The raw part is machined either by the milling head traversing its surface or by moving the body itself along a static tool.
The abbreviation CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control and indicates that the numerical control is carried out via a computer, and that even complex workpieces can be manufactured automatically with high precision and in large quantities.
What materials are used for CNC milling?
CNC milling processes a wide range of materials. The most common materials are metals such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass and titanium. Engineering plastics such as POM, PEEK or acrylic as well as wood and composite materials are also often used. Do you have any questions? Write to us directly.
Which tools are used for CNC milling?
The most important tools are milling cutters made of carbide (solid carbide) or high-speed steel (HSS). These include end mills for grooves and contours, ball end mills for 3D shapes, face mills for large surfaces as well as drills and thread milling cutters for specific tasks.
What are the usual tolerances for CNC milling?
Usual general tolerances are defined according to ISO 2768 (medium/fine). Depending on the machine and complexity, however, significantly tighter tolerances of up to ±0.01 mm are possible. Fits for shafts and bores are often manufactured in accordance with ISO 286 (e.g. grade 7).
In which industries is CNC milling used?
CNC milling is a key technology in almost all technical sectors, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, aerospace, medical technology, the electronics industry and tool and mold making.
For which products is CNC milling generally suitable?
It is ideal for precision parts with complex geometries such as housings, brackets, mold inserts, gears, heat sinks and prototypes. It is used for components where high accuracy and strength are required.
