Our 3- to 5-axis CNC machining capabilities enable the production of functional prototype parts in metal and plastic, with tight tolerances, perfectly suited for:
Benefit from custom CNC machined prototypes, delivered quickly, with industrial-grade quality from the very first part.
Get fully compliant parts from the first production run, without costly iterations.
CNC machining (Computer Numerical Control) is a manufacturing process that consists of removing material with extreme precision from a solid block using computer-controlled cutting tools.
This technology enables the production of high-precision parts with excellent repeatability, making it an ideal solution for rapid prototyping and low-volume production.
The main CNC machining processes include:
Thanks to these processes, it is possible to manufacture functional prototypes that are fully accurate to the 3D model and ready for real-world use.
These manufacturing processes are tailored to meet every technical and industrial requirement.

What is the lead time for a CNC machined prototype?
The lead time for a CNC machined prototype depends on complexity, materials, and finishing requirements. Typically, it ranges from 6 to 16 working days (including shipping).
Thanks to our production facility and industrial organization, we can shorten lead times for urgent projects.
What is the cost of CNC machining for a prototype?
The cost of a CNC prototype depends on several factors:
Why choose CNC machining for prototyping?
CNC machining is ideal for prototyping because it allows the production of functional parts using the same materials as final production.
Unlike other technologies, you get reliable, precise prototypes that can be tested in real-world conditions.
What tolerances can be achieved with CNC machining?
CNC machining enables very tight tolerances:
This ensures high-precision parts suitable for demanding industrial applications.
What materials can be used in CNC machining?
We machine a wide range of industrial materials:
We advise you on the best material based on your mechanical, thermal, and budget constraints.
What is the difference between CNC machining and 3D printing?
CNC is recommended for mechanical testing, technical validation, and pre-industrialization.
Can you move from CNC prototyping to mass production?
Yes. CNC machining allows you to produce:
This helps secure your product development before industrialization.
What types of parts can be manufactured with CNC machining?
CNC machining enables the production of:
Suitable for many industries: industrial manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc.
