Rapid Cnc Machining
For prototype quantities of custom metal and plastic parts, CNC Machining is often the best process, short of tooling, to match proposed production-part properties. We take your 3D CAD model and create precision CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) cncmachine.ltd/en/News/news1251.html’ target=’_blank’>machining paths that guide our equipment to follow every contour and hole. The result is a precisely replicated part, exactly matching your original design.
When should I consider Rapid CNC Machined prototype parts?
You should choose Rapid CNC whenever you require parts in the exact material you plan on using in production. Other rapid prototype processes can often simulate the final material, but we know there are times when substitution is just not an option.
Can you also provide machined parts in production quantities?
Yes, we can! APT can help you reduce product costs and increase your competitive edge by utilizing our automated CNC machining capabilities. We are committed to provide you with the best machined products and services at the most competitive prices.
APT’s capabilities include CNC Machining, CNC Milling, CNC Turning, and High-Precision CNC Machining.
Materials:
The type of rigid materials available when using the CNC Machining process are virtually unlimited. We can source whatever materials your design requires. Some of the most common materials we utilize are:
Plastics: ABS, Polypropylene, PMMA ( like Plexiglas® acrylic), PC (polycarbonate, Lexan®), Nylon, POM (Delrin® acetal), and more. Check out the prototyping properties of plastics. Contact us about other possibilities.
Metals: Aluminum, Low-Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper, and more. Check out the prototyping properties of metal. Contact us about other possibilities.

Sample Our Work
At APT Mold, we have experience making highly cosmetic parts (exterior housings, lenses, etc.) as well as less visible mechanical parts (chassis, brackets, gears, etc.). We service markets ranging from industrial to home appliance, from automotive to consumer products, and from medical to scientific.
Please review the following portfolio of parts and products to see the breadth and quality of our work.
3D Printing
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that works best for functional prototypes, complex designs, and end-use applications. We provide 3D Printed SLA (Stereo-Lithography Apparatus) prototypes with a variety of resins, from very clear to opaque white. Stereolithography is a process where liquid materials are turned into solid cross-sections, layer by layer, using an ultraviolet laser.
When should I consider 3D Printed SLA prototype parts?
You should choose 3D Printed SLA parts whenever speed is of the essence. It takes only a few days or less to build parts using the SLA process. And the latest SLA resins are very robust, far more so than earlier resin offerings.
How precise are your 3D Printed SLA parts?
The tolerances on SLA parts are typically ± .05 mm (±.002″), and our technology offers the smoothest surface finish of any additive manufacturing process. APT’s strict quality control system and sophisticated equipment creates high quality parts every single time.
