As Machined Surface Finishing
CNC parts in their natural post-machining state — deburred and chamfered, retaining visible tool marks and light scratches.
Ideal for functional prototypes, structural components, and parts where precision matters more than appearance. Compatible with metals and engineering plastics, ready for further processing if needed.
Typical Applications
Functional Prototypes
Perfect for testing fit, function, and assembly before mass production.
Internal Components
Ideal for parts inside assemblies where surface finish is not critical.
Mechanical Reference Surfaces
Maintains precision for mounting surfaces, guides, and reference points.
Low-Volume Production Parts
Cost-effective for small batches where aesthetics are secondary.
CNC Machined Parts Edge Options
We offer a full range of surface finishing and edge condition options for custom CNC machined parts to enhance appearance, durability, corrosion resistance, and fit-functionality. Please choose the option that suits you.
As Machined
Standard finish directly from the CNC process with visible tool marks. Suitable for functional parts and prototypes where finish is not critical.
Deburred Edge
Remove burrs to ensure smooth edges, eliminating sharp protrusions. Suitable for all parts to ensure safety and functionality.
Chamfered Edge
Deburring and edge rounding treatment give products smooth and rounded edges, which prevents interference and jamming during assembly, ensuring that components fit together smoothly and precisely.
Applicable Materials
Aluminum Alloys
Commonly used for lightweight structural and mechanical components.
Steel & Stainless Steel
Provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for functional parts.
Copper & Brass
Excellent for conductive, decorative, or precision components.
Engineering Plastics
Materials like POM, ABS, Nylon, and PC for lightweight, functional parts.
Technical Specifications
