Perfect for quick prototypes & short complex shapes
Protosys Technologies offers high-precision CNC Machining, a subtractive manufacturing process where parts are accurately shaped by cutting material from metal or plastic blocks. Using advanced CAD/CAM systems and multi-axis machines, our team programs every job to achieve the best cutting efficiency, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy. This process delivers reliable, repeatable components with tight tolerances (up to ±0.05 mm), perfect for complex industrial, automotive, aerospace, and engineering applications.
CNC machining is used not only to manufacture parts and prototypes but also to make mould tools, which are used for injection moulding or die casting. It is optimal for one-off or low volume custom parts.
CNC machining is performed using milling or lathe machines, where a block of the desired material, such as plastic or metal, is shaped by high-speed cutters controlled by a specific code. This process allows for parts to be machined directly from engineering thermoplastics and metals. CNC machining is often more economical for producing large and bulky parts compared to Rapid Prototyping processes, offering high precision and efficiency in manufacturing.
The cutting tool moves along the x, y, and z axis while the part being machined is held on the bed by a vice or grip.
The cutting tool moves along the x, y, and z axis, the tool head and the machine bed rotate.
The material block is held on the spindle which is rotated at high speed and the cutting tool moves radially and lengthwise while machining the block.
The material block is fixed to the bed while the rotating cutting tool moves around the face of the block. Mills are all purpose and can handle most machining processes.
Additive manufacturing builds parts layer by layer using materials like filaments, powders, liquids, or sheets, through jetting, extrusion, photo-curing, laminating, or fusing.
Product development is much faster compared to traditional manufacturing.
Each and every part can be customised according to every need.
The machined parts have great mechanical properties and can be machined from a number of metals and plastics.
Parts manufactured through CNC machining are have quicker production times as compared to traditional processes.
ABS is a lightweight thermoplastic material with good mechanical properties and excellent impact strength.
Nylon powder is used extensively in SLS as it is very flexible, offers good heat and chemical resistance, and the unsintered powder acts as a support to the part that is manufactured. Protosys Technologies offers PA6, PA12 glass-filled.
Metal powders are used mainly in DMLS and produce parts for high-end engineering applications. The metal parts produced have high strength, high hardness, and high thermal capacity. Protosys Technologies offers Stainless Steel, Aluminium, and Titanium.
Acrylic is a lightweight plastic that is scratch resistant, has reasonable impact strength and is available in optically clear or opaque variants.
