Processes
Our network of Manufacturing Partners gives you easy access to diverse machining capabilities to serve all your manufacturing needs.
CNC Milling service
CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that rapidly removes material from metal or plastic blocks to produce precision parts with tight tolerances.
CNC Turning service
CNC turning produces parts with cylindrical features by removing material from metal or plastic rods using cutters, center drills or live tooling.
5-axis CNC machining
5-axis CNC machines can produce parts with comples geometries and increase productivity by minimizing the number of machine setups.
Tolerances
The table below summarizes the standard tolerances of the parts produced by certified 3D Hubs Manufacturing Partners. Tolerances up to .0008” (0.020mm) are available upon request.
| Part size / Dimension | Tolerance | Angularity |
|---|---|---|
| < 12’’ (30 mm) | ± .005’’ (0.125 mm) | ± 0.5° |
| < 24’’ (60 mm) | ± .010’’ (0.250 mm) | ± 1.0° |
| < 36’’ (90 mm) | ± 1/64’’ (0.400 mm) | ± 1.0° |
Tightest tolerance: ±.0008’’ (0.020 mm)Tighter tolerances are examined on a case by case basis with your technical drawings.
