What Products Can CNC Machines Make?

I get this question from new clients all the time. The short answer: almost anything that needs precision. CNC machines cut metal, plastic, and composites to tight tolerances. They handle prototyping and mass production equally well.

At AOOM, we machine products across dozens of industries. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Metal Components

CNC machines excel at metal parts. We produce aluminum enclosures, brass fittings, stainless steel shafts, and titanium aerospace components. Tolerances at micron level are standard. Complex geometries are routine.

One client needed thin-walled aluminum housings for aerospace electronics. Wall thickness was 0.8 mm. We held it across the entire batch without distortion.

Plastic Parts

Engineering plastics like nylon, PEEK, ABS, PC, and PTFE are common materials in our shop. CNC machining gives them superior surface finish and tight tolerances that injection molding can't always match in small volumes.

We made PEEK medical implant prototypes for a surgical device company. The parts required sharp internal corners and a smooth surface finish. CNC was the only process that worked.

Complex Geometries

Modern 5-axis CNC machines create intricate shapes: turbine blades with compound curves, injection molds with undercuts, and optical mounts requiring mirror-finish surfaces. We regularly push what's possible.

If you have a design that needs precision machining, there's a good chance we can make it. Share your CAD files and we'll take a look.
