CNC Machining Service

**Computerized Numerical Control (CNC)** milling and turning services are now available at Pcbalab for Makers and startups!

Advantages of CNC Machining

**Reduced Tooling & Complexity:** Greatly reduces the need for extensive tooling. Processing complex shapes only requires modifying the part program, ideal for new product development and quick modifications.
**High Precision & Quality:** Provides stable quality, high precision, and excellent repeatability, making it suitable for aerospace and other demanding processing requirements.
**High Production Efficiency:** Excellent for **multiple-variety and small-batch production**, reducing setup time, machine adjustment, and inspection time.
**Complex Part Capability:** Can easily process complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to machine using conventional methods.

Note: The primary disadvantage is the high cost of the machine tools and the need for high-level maintenance staff.
