Find the answer you need right away in the FAQ.
1-1.Can I get a CNC quote with only 2D drawings?
Laser cutting and sheet metal fabrication can be quoted using only 2D drawings.
However, due to the complexity of part geometry, CNC machining cannot be accurately quoted from 2D drawings alone.
For an accurate quote, please also submit a 3D file in STEP (.stp) format along with your 2D drawing.
1-2.What if my desired CNC material isn’t listed?
Material options vary by country. Change the production location in the quote page to see updated availability.
1-3.Do you offer secondary machining on existing products?
No. We only provide CNC machining for new parts.
1-4.How do you apply tight tolerances?
Click Add Options, select Tight Tolerance, and upload a 2D drawing (PDF) that specifies the required tolerances.
1-5.What is “R value” in CNC machining? Why is it important?
R value in CNC machining refers to the radius of a curve or corner (curvature radius). Since most CNC cutting tools are round, internal corners and curved surfaces cannot be perfectly sharp—they will always be machined with a rounded edge (R value). This is an important factor to consider during design.
As shown in the sample image, while the 3D CAD model may display sharp edges, the actual manufactured part will have slightly rounded corners.
1-6.How can I request tapping (thread cutting)?
Select Thread in the quote options and upload a 2D drawing (PDF) with thread specifications.
