Turning
At 3D Path Precision Engineering, we ensure consistently high quality for every component — from the first piece to the last. With a comprehensive approach, we guarantee precise execution and excellent finishing across all CNC turning operations. Leveraging advanced technology, we deliver components quickly and efficiently — whether you require prototypes, single parts, or full-scale production. We work with a wide range of materials, including aluminum, steel, and plastics.
Thanks to our streamlined order process and on-demand delivery, we provide reliable solutions that keep your project on track. Get in touch with us and experience how precise CNC turning can be!
CNC turning is a precise and efficient machining process used to produce cylindrical components with exceptional accuracy. The process begins with preparing the raw material, usually in the form of a bar or rod made of metal or plastic, which is clamped into the CNC lathe.
The geometry, dimensions, and toolpaths are programmed in CAD/CAM software, creating a digital plan that guides the machine throughout the process.
During CNC turning, the workpiece rotates at high speed while a stationary cutting tool moves along its surface, removing material and shaping the part. The tool can move axially or radially, enabling a variety of operations, including:
Turning – shaping external surfaces
Facing – creating flat surfaces
Threading – cutting internal and external threads
Grooving – machining slots and channels
With advanced CNC technology, it is possible to achieve extremely tight tolerances (down to ±0.005 mm) and perfectly smooth surface finishes (Ra 0.8). Automation ensures high repeatability and consistent quality for both single parts and serial production.
Every component undergoes strict quality control after machining to guarantee compliance with technical requirements. CNC turning is an ideal solution for manufacturing shafts, bushings, and other rotationally symmetric parts.
