In high-precision industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and industrial machinery, the demand for custom metal components is constantly increasing. However, achieving both precision and performance requires more than just advanced equipment—it depends on a well-defined CNC machining process.

At DXTSEALS, we transform your concepts into high-performance metal components using a meticulous CNC manufacturing workflow. In this article, we break down the full process—from design to delivery.

🧩 Step 1: Design and Engineering

The journey starts with a technical drawing or 3D CAD model provided by the client. If a design is not yet finalized, our engineers assist in:

• Design for manufacturability (DFM) optimization

• Choosing the most suitable geometries and tolerances

• Identifying cost-saving modifications without compromising function

Using advanced CAD/CAM software, we simulate tool paths and machining strategies to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

🔍 Step 2: Material Selection

The material chosen directly impacts the part’s durability, weight, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. DXTSEALS offers machining services for a wide range of metals, including:

• Stainless steel (304, 316, 17-4PH)

• Carbon steel

• Aluminum (6061, 7075)

• Copper and brass

• Titanium and high-nickel alloys (e.g., Inconel)

Each material undergoes inspection for hardness, grain structure, and impurities before entering the production floor.

⚙️ Step 3: CNC Programming and Setup

Once the CAD file is ready, our programmers convert it into G-code, the machine language that drives CNC equipment. The program includes:

• Spindle speed

• Feed rate

• Tool paths

• Depth of cuts

• Coolant usage

Our skilled operators then set up the CNC lathe or milling machine, selecting the proper cutting tools, fixtures, and workholding solutions.

🏗 Step 4: CNC Machining Operations

This is where raw material becomes a precision-machined component. Depending on the design, operations may include:

• Turning: Ideal for round or cylindrical parts

• Milling: For flat, angular, or contoured surfaces

• Drilling, tapping, boring: For internal features

• Threading and grooving: External and internal threads

• Finishing passes: To achieve final tolerance and surface quality

Using multi-axis CNC machines, DXTSEALS can perform multiple operations in a single setup, ensuring high accuracy and short lead times.

🔧 Step 5: Post-Processing (Optional)

Many metal parts require secondary operations such as:

• Heat treatment for hardness or stress relief

• Anodizing, plating, or coating for corrosion resistance

• Deburring and polishing for improved surface finish

• Welding or assembly for complex structures

These are performed in-house or by certified partners under DXTSEALS' strict quality control.

📏 Step 6: Inspection and Quality Control

Every CNC-machined part at DXTSEALS undergoes thorough dimensional and visual inspection. We use:

• CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines)

• Calipers, micrometers, and gauges

• Surface roughness testers

• Thread and profile inspection tools

We provide inspection reports upon request, ensuring full traceability and compliance with ISO standards.

📦 Step 7: Packaging and Delivery

After passing quality control, parts are:

• Carefully cleaned

• Protected with anti-rust packaging if required

• Labeled and documented for tracking

• Shipped worldwide with on-time logistics support

Clients receive well-packaged, ready-to-install components that meet their precise specifications.
