The precision and accuracy of numerical control in CNC machining services, combined with other digital manufacturing features like CAD and CAM, make it the preferred solution for modern modeling and prototyping demands. At Premium Parts, our CNC prototype services umbrella solutions for making excellent prototypes with high functionality and performance. By combining the latest CNC milling and CNC turning processes with our in-house, proprietary technology, you can leverage our reputation for quality to create all your high-precision, on-demand prototypes.
What is CNC Prototyping?
CNC Prototyping

CNC prototyping involves the use of CNC machining services to fabricate high-quality prototypes. The process utilizes the 3D model embedded in the CAD design to make parts from a solid block of material through a computer-aided tool’s cutting or milling actions. Every motion of the CNC machine is dictated by the machine G-codes so that the tool path and action of the machine aim to replicate the loaded CAD design in the solid workpiece.
Unlike other prototyping methods, prototype CNC machining emphasizes the appearance, aesthetics, performance, and functionality of the prototype. When you choose CNC machining prototypes, you opt for a high level of precision that ensures your prototype is suitable for the rigors of mechanical testing, empowering you to conduct a holistic evaluation of your product and concept before proceeding with mass production.
Our CNC prototyping offers material versatility, enabling clients to prototype in materials with properties identical to those used for mass production and low-volume customization, allowing for the exploration of modifications and variations in different versions. With CNC-machined prototypes, engineers can identify potential problems, geometric challenges, or functional issues, all of which enable manufacturers to make necessary changes before mass manufacturing.
