Yes. The service can be reviewed for CNC turning, CNC milling or a combined route. The correct process depends on whether the part is mainly rotational or also requires pockets, slots, flats, holes and irregular profiles.
Yes. The product direction specifically covers aluminum and stainless steel machining. Exact grades, material conditions, finishes and inspection requirements must be confirmed by the drawing.
Sample-based development can be discussed. A drawing is recommended for critical dimensions, threads, material, tolerance, surface treatment and functional requirements.
Shafts, pins, sleeves, bushings, collars, rings, flanges, threaded fittings and cylindrical housings are common turning-oriented forms. Additional milling features can be reviewed when needed.
