View All FAQs
01 What information should I provide for a CNC machining quote?

Ideally, provide a 2D drawing or 3D CAD model together with material specification, required quantity, dimensional tolerances, surface finish, treatment requirements and any inspection or documentation needs. Clear technical information helps us review manufacturability and prepare a more accurate quotation.

02 What CNC machining tolerances can be achieved?

Achievable tolerance depends on component geometry, material, feature size, machining process and inspection requirements. Tight tolerances should be specified only where functionally necessary and are reviewed against the drawing before manufacturing.

03 Which materials can be CNC machined?

CNC machining can be used for a wide range of engineering materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, carbon and alloy steels, brass, copper and selected engineering plastics. Material selection should consider mechanical performance, environment, machinability and component application.

04 Can you support prototypes as well as production quantities?

Yes. CNC machining can support prototype development, low-volume requirements and repeat production. The most appropriate manufacturing approach depends on part complexity, quantity, material, tolerance requirements and expected production frequency.

05 How should I specify surface finish and post-machining treatment?

Specify the required surface roughness or finish on the engineering drawing and identify any post-machining processes such as anodising, plating, passivation, coating or other treatments. Functional surfaces and cosmetic requirements should be clearly identified.

06 Do you support CNC machining enquiries from Dubai and across the UAE?
