Inside the CNC Machining Process: Transparent Services from Design to Delivery
Looking for a reliable CNC machining supplier? BAIDE provides insights into equipment, quality control, lead time, and after-sales to help you find the right CNC partner.
Introduction
For overseas buyers, choosing a CNC machining supplier is not just about price and lead time, but about whether the entire process is controlled and transparent. An unstable supply chain can delay delivery and disrupt product launches. This article reveals every step of CNC machining—from design → prototyping → production → inspection → packaging → delivery—and explains how we ensure full traceability and transparency.
CNC Machining Process
1.Design & Drawing Confirmation
Customers provide 2D/3D drawings (STEP, IGS, DWG, STL).
Our engineers conduct a DFM (Design for Manufacturability) review and propose optimizations.
Final design is confirmed to minimize machining risks.
2.Material Selection & Procurement
Wide material options: aluminum, stainless steel, copper, titanium, engineering plastics.
Incoming material inspection: chemical composition, hardness, dimensions.
3.Rapid Prototyping
5-axis CNC and CNC lathes used for fast prototyping.
Sample delivery in as little as 5–7 days.
4.Mass Production
Automated CNC turning-milling centers ensure consistent high-volume production.
Tolerance controlled to ±0.005mm.
5.Quality Inspection
CMM, height gauge, hardness tester for full inspection.
Inspections conducted on first article, in-process, and final products.
6.Packaging & Logistics
Shock-proof and moisture-proof packaging.
Multiple shipping options: DHL/UPS/sea freight/air freight.
Transparency Advantages
Real-Time Updates – Progress photos and videos available on request.
Full Traceability – Each part has a unique code with recorded machining and inspection data.
Risk Reduction – DFM optimization and multi-level inspection prevent rework and delays.
Case Studies
European Medical Device Client – Stainless steel precision parts, delivered in 21 days, tolerance <0.01mm.
Japanese Motorcycle Brand – Transparent CNC crash bar production, completed 5 days ahead of schedule.
Conclusion
A transparent CNC machining process not only builds trust but also reduces project risks. If you are looking for a reliable CNC partner with full process traceability, contact us today for a free consultation and quotation.
