Why Choose CNC Milling?

CNC milling is ideal for producing complex 3D geometries, pockets, slots, and contours. By using rotating multi-point cutting tools on stationary or moving workpieces, milling ensures:

  • Precision for aerospace and medical components

  • Flexibility for small-batch or prototyping production

  • Consistency in surface finish and dimensional accuracy

At EadeTech, we specialize in hard-to-machine metals, where heat buildup, work hardening, and material toughness present challenges. Our engineers carefully optimize tooling, cutting parameters, and fixturing for each material to minimize distortion and maximize productivity.
