High Quality VMC Machined Metal Prototypes & Production Parts in less than 5 days
About VMC Machining Service
VMC machining is an industrial manufacturing process in which a pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and respective machinery. The VMC process can be used to control a range of complex machinery, from grinders and lathes to mills and routers. With VMC machining, three-dimensional cutting tasks on metal or plastic blocks can be accomplished in a single set of prompts.
We support three types of VMC Machining Services as follows:
- 5-axis VMC Machining Service
- 3+2-axis VMC Milling Service
- 5-axis CNC Turning Service
VMC stands for Computer Numerical Control and it is used in VMC Machining Service to carve out access material from a block of metal or plastic to get finished parts. 5 Axis Machines allows achieving greater precision with tighter tolerance that results in amazing end parts.
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and it is used in CNC Machining Service to carve out access material from a block of metal or plastic to get finished parts. 5 Axis Machines allows achieving greater precision with tighter tolerance that results in amazing end parts.
CNC Milling Service involves a rotating cutting tool/bit that removes chips from the desired material when brought into contact with the CNC work-piece. CNC Milling moves laterally to carve out the excess materials and the precision depends on the size of the milling bit.
| Part size / dimension | Tolerance | Angularity |
|---|---|---|
| < 12’’ (300 mm) | ± .005’’ (0.125 mm) | ± 0.5° |
| < 24’’ (600 mm) | ± .010’’ (0.250 mm) | ± 1.0° |
| < 36’’ (900 mm) | ± 1/16’’ (0.400 mm) | ± 1.0° |
The minimum order quantity is 1 CNC Part.
Every CNC service order includes our standard inspection file that includes reports and certifications such as:
- Critical dimensions
- Quantity of parts
- Removal of sharp edges and burrs
- Number of parts inspected
- Surface finish
- Threads and tolerances
- Full dimensional inspection report
- CNC Material/CNC Mill test report
For CNC Machining Servicing, we have more than 70+ metals across Aluminium, Copper, Steel, Magnesium available.

Almost any category that sells physical products use CNC and VMC Machining for making injection molding parts. Some of those industries are:
- Automotive Mould
- Aircraft Parts
- Home Appliance Mould
- Household Plastic Mould
- Medical Molding
- Connector Mould
- Crate Mould
- Package Mould
- Optical Reflectors
- Cooking Utensils
- Medical Devices
- Handles and Knobs
While there are many benefits to CNC and VMC Machining Service, we have summed up a few that are highly critical:
- Highly precise and repeatable
- Suitable for many different kinds of materials
- Scalable volumes from 1 to 100,000
- Low investment in tooling and preparation costs
- Economical and Fastest turnaround time
VMC milling uses a rotating machine tool, while CNC turning uses a rotating part for cutting.
VMC Milling requires 5-axis where the part doesn’t move whereas the CNC Turning has 2-axis where part moves in two axis as well.
For a standard part that we checked on our in-house CNC Machines, costs for various processes are as follows:
- 3D Printing -> INR 4500 for 1 part
- CNC machining -> INR 7000 for 1 part
- Urethane Casting -> INR 4000 for 1 part
- Injection Molding -> INR 60 for 1 part with cost of mold starting at INR 70,000
- CNC Laser Cutting Machine
- VMC Milling Machine
- CNC Lathe Machine
- CNC Sparking Machine
- Wire Cutting Machine
