Custom CNC Machining Services
We have a fully integrated computer network and state-of-the-art CNC machining processes that deliver the precision your application demands. When you work with American Tool & Die, you get a reliable partner dedicated to helping you succeed with your manufacturing projects.
What Is CNC Machining?
CNC (computer numerical control) is a process where computers control machine tools to create parts and products with high precision.
In CNC machining, a computer program tells the machine exactly how to move and what to do. This ensures that each part is made exactly the same, with incredible accuracy. It’s like having a skilled craftsman but with the speed and precision of modern technology. CNC machining is perfect for producing everything from car parts to intricate components for electronics and medical devices.

The Materials We Use
CNC machining can work with a variety of materials, making it a versatile option for many different projects. Here are some of the common materials we use:
- Metals: CNC machining is great for working with metals like aluminum and tool steels. These metals are strong and durable, making them ideal for parts that must withstand a lot of wear and tear.
- Plastics: We also machine various types of plastics, which are often used when a lightweight and cost-effective material is needed. They are perfect for parts that don’t need to bear heavy loads but still require precision and durability.
- Composites: Composites are materials made from two or more different substances combined to create something with unique properties. These materials can be incredibly strong and lightweight, making them useful for specialized applications where traditional materials might not be suitable.
