CNC machining removes material from stock or adds features to an existing part. The process depends on the geometry: the comparison below helps you choose where to start.
This page covers enclosure modification, CNC milling, CNC turning, and precision machining, with materials guidance for each. Traxis reviews the drawing before quoting, including jobs that need both milled and turned features.
Our shop is in Austin, TX, and we make parts for customers in 18+ states. See how the process works or learn about the shop.
