Prototool’s CNC turning services (Lathe machining services) help you get your desired parts, either prototype or production parts developed in a matter of days, hours, and even minutes depending upon the complexity and substance of the part. The process involves rotating the workpiece at high speed in a chuck. Contrary to CNC milling where the tool spins at high speeds, this process rotates the workpiece and the tool moves in accordance with the designing required.
Offering diverse designs with highly market competitive prices, we offer speedy CNC lathe services on the materials of your choice. This includes plastics like polycarbonate, PTFE, PEI, nylon, ABS, POM, PP, PMMA, PEEK and metals like titanium, brass nickel alloy, steel, magnesium, stainless steel copper, etc.

The Varied CNC Turning Services We Offer
CNC Turning is employed for rapid delivery of highly accurate components, which can either be prototypes or end-users. Moreover, it is used for high volume manufacturing in a variety of processes which include:
Conventional CNC Turning
CNC Turning is traditionally used to make simple medium complex parts with high accuracy. This method will work in both the prototyping phase and when running into mass production where it offers a very flexible being able to machine many different kinds of materials quite precisely.
Multi-Axis CNC Turning
Multi-Axis CNC Turning further expands our range of capabilities in the creation of complex geometries and intricate designs; this system allows us to machine simultaneously from many angles, lowering set up time and increasing overall efficiency as well as precision on parts.
Live Tooling CNC Turning
However, Live Tooling CNC Turning is a type of mill-turn lathe that integrates turning with most any kind of vertical or horizontal machining. We can do several different kinds of cutting all in one setup which shortens production times and allows us to produce very complex parts covering the whole range from curvilinear surfaces through multiplaned plane mirrors right up to some extremely
Hard Turning
Hard Turning is a niche CNC turning process for high hardness materials. It’s an economical substitute to grinding, in which parts with very tight tolerances can be precision machined out of tough metals through this method. This approach becomes particularly suitable when large numbers are being produced as it quickly manufactures long-lasting components using complex standard forms and sections.
