What is CNC Machining?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a common manufacturing process that uses automated high-speed cutting tools to remove material from a metal or plastic workpiece. Standard CNC machines include 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling machines, lathes and routers. The way a machine cuts a CNC part can vary – the workpiece may remain stationary while the tool moves, the tool may remain stationary while the workpiece rotates and moves, or the tool and workpiece may move together.
When a machinist receives a CAD model (also known as a 3D data set), they start to create tool paths based on the 3D data set. Skilled machinists know how to optimise toolpaths to reduce CNC machining costs and achieve tight tolerances. CNC machines can cut virtually any material, including metal alloys, plastics, wood, stone, ceramics and more. Custom machined parts are required in virtually every industry, including automotive, robotics, medical, aerospace, electronics and industrial. YOUDE offers CNC machining services and provides custom CNC quotes for a wide range of materials, from plain aluminium, steel, stainless steel, ABS and acetal to high grade titanium, Inconel and engineering plastics such as PTFE, PPS, PEI and PEEK.

Surface Finishes for CNC Machined Parts
In addition to our custom CNC machining services, we offer complete surface finishing solutions for precision machined parts. If you need a custom surface finishing solution that is not listed, please contact us and we would be honored to customize our services for you.
As machined (Ra 3.2μm / Ra 126μin)
The fastest finishing option. A surface finish that results directly from the machining process, without additional polishing or treatment, characterized by visible tool marks and high dimensional accuracy.
Smooth machining (Ra 1.6μm / Ra 63μin)
Smooth machining is like machining but with less visible marks. Parts are machined at lower speeds, so there's no need for hand polishing.
Polishing (Ra 0.8μm / Ra 32μin or better)
A finishing process that enhances surface smoothness and shine, achieving a low roughness average (Ra) for improved aesthetics and reduced friction.
Spray painting
Spray painting is a surface treatment process used to apply paint or coatings for protection or aesthetics, commonly applied to plastic, metal, and other materials
Bead Blasting
A surface finishing process that uses fine glass beads to create a smooth, matte texture, removing imperfections and providing a uniform appearance.
Tumbled
Tumbling is a process of vibrating parts to remove sharp edges. Tumbling can also remove marks from parts that aren't machined.
Bead blasted + Anodizing type II
Before anodizing, parts are blasted to improve corrosion resistance and appearance.
Bead blasted + Anodized type III (Hardcoat)
Before anodizing, parts are sandblasted to #120 grit. Type III is thicker and more abrasion-resistant than Type II.
Black Oxide
A surface treatment that applies a thin, corrosion-resistant black coating to steel or iron parts, enhancing appearance and providing mild protection without altering dimensions.
Powder Coated
A durable finishing process where a powder is electrostatically applied and then cured under heat, creating a tough, protective, and uniform coating with various color options.
Chromate Conversion Coating
A corrosion-resistant surface treatment applied to metals, primarily aluminum, providing a protective layer that enhances paint adhesion and resists oxidation.
Plating
This group includes nickel, silver, gold, zinc, chrome, and tin plating. It reduces corrosion, improves appearance and functionality, and increases solderability and conductivity.
