CNC Machining

We take pride in offering nothing but the best CNC machining services to industries across San Jose and beyond. Whether your company is prototyping new designs or manufacturing parts in the thousands-of-units range, our experience and leading-edge equipment will bring the precision and reliability the modern marketplace requires.

What is CNC Machining?

Computer numerical control, popularly known as CNC, is a subtractive manufacturing process in which tools and machinery are controlled through pre-programmed software. This allows for the accurate production of parts from materials like metals, plastics, and wood. The automation of complicated processes allows for high accuracy and repeatability; it is a mainstay in industries related to aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

Remember!

Optima Precision’s CNC machining services focus on your requirements, from a single custom part to large-scale production.

Why Choose CNC Machining?

One of the reasons one would want to decide on CNC machining is precision. Parts machined with the help of the CNC can have tolerances down to ±0.001 inches; therefore, any part manufactured will fit or function just right. Following are some of the advantages of CNC machining you should consider:

  • Precision – The operations involving the use of CNC machines involve the rendering of exact cuts per the given digital designs. This tends to reduce human errors.
  • Efficiency – Viewing the automated nature of operations leads to a quicker turnaround in producing items.
  • Material Variability – Starting from metals and plastics to composites, the working capability of CNC machining is pretty broad. 
  • Scalability – From prototyping to full-scale production, CNC machining allows you to scale your operations quickly.
  • Consistency – The repeatability of parts of the same kind assures production over an extended period.

These advantages secure CNC machining services as the most reliable solution to get quality, consistent parts with no bounds across several industries.

Common CNC Machining Processes

There are a variety of CNC machining processes that are applied in manufacturing for you at Optima Precision:

CNC Milling

In CNC milling, material removal is achieved with multi-point cutting tools. On the other hand, complicated forms, such as precision holes, may also be manufactured using this processing technique. It can be an excellent technique for parts that demand dimensional accuracy and surface finish and work with different materials.

CNC Turning

In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates so that a single-point cutting tool moves parallel to the axis. This process is ideal for parts in cylindrical shapes like shafts, rings, and bearings.

CNC Drilling

Drilling is a critical activity in many manufacturing processes; drilling with CNC ensures that holes are made with an outstanding level of precision. In many cases, this can be combined with other CNC machining services, such as milling or turning, to ensure that all areas of the part production process are covered.

Quality Control in CNC Machining

Where precision is concerned, quality is not negotiable. Here at Optima Precision, we apply stringent testing procedures to ensure that each part meets the specifications required. 

Here is how we do quality control for our CNC machining services:

  • In-process inspections – we monitor the machining process in real time to detect and correct any deviations as soon as they occur;
  • Final inspection – Every part is inspected at the final stage using measurement instruments calibrated to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish;
  • Industries require material certification – Whenever there is traceability, we offer material certifications with complete documentation of processes.

This will ensure that every part you receive is ready for the expected performance.
