CNC Rapid supplies precision-machined components to automation, semiconductor and medical-device engineers in Europe, North America and Australia. Typical lead times: 3 – 5 working days for prototypes, 7 – 12 working days for small batches Shipping to 40+ countries via [...]
Every product starts as an idea, and the faster that idea becomes a physical part you can hold, test, and refine, the sooner it reaches the market. At CNC Rapid, CNC custom parts prototyping bridges the gap between your 3D [...]
When a design calls for high strength, predictable performance, and minimal dimensional drift, tight-tolerance 45# steel parts—also known internationally as AISI 1045 or C45 medium-carbon steel—often top the shortlist. At CNC Rapid, we’ve machined thousands of these components for robotics, [...]
Black Anodized Aluminum Enclosures instantly signal quality when you pick up a well-built device. Their deep-black, satin surface feels solid yet light, resists fingerprints, and quietly guides heat away from sensitive components. Achieving that effect takes more than a dip [...]
Modern electronic enclosures, lightweight gearboxes, and heat-dissipating housings often rely on slanted or compound-angle passages for wire routing, oil flow, or fastener access. Machining those angled holes in aluminum—while holding both position and surface-finish requirements—demands a different playbook from straight [...]
When light has only a few microns of wiggle room before image quality degrades, every mechanical interface around an optic must be machined with the same rigor as the lens itself. Modern CNC milling and turning—augmented by diamond‑turning and ultraprecision [...]
The easiest way to keep aluminum parts looking fresh while holding micron‑level tolerances is to combine modern 3‑ and 5‑axis machining with clear anodizing aluminum. By growing a thin, transparent oxide layer—not paint—you create clear anodized CNC precision‑machined components that [...]
Whether you’re protecting a sensitive IoT sensor or a full‑featured control module, the metal enclosure you choose can make—or break—performance. At CNC Rapid, we machine custom enclosures from 6061‑T6 aluminum and finish them with a deep black anodized layer that looks [...]
When you need the extra punch of medium-carbon steel without jumping to expensive alloys, 45# steel—known internationally as 1045—hits the sweet spot. Its 0.45 % carbon content lets it harden after heat-treatment, yet it still machines cleanly in the annealed [...]
When a prototype must stay strong, fight corrosion, and look professional straight off the machine, 304 stainless steel is an easy winner. Below is a quick, data-free look at what makes this alloy special, the kinds of parts that benefit [...]
