Custom CNC turning 6061 aluminum parts with PVD coating and Polishing
Utilizing professional CNC turning technology, we manufacture bespoke 6061 aluminum parts tailored to your specifications. The CNC turning process ensures exceptional accuracy and consistency in every component.
To further enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of the parts, we apply PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating. This thin film coating provides excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and surface hardness, extending the lifespan of the parts in demanding applications.
In addition to PVD coating, we offer professional polishing services to achieve a smooth, mirror-like finish on the aluminum parts. Polishing not only enhances the visual appearance but also improves surface integrity and eliminates imperfections.
Whether you require prototypes, small batches, or large-scale production runs, our CNC turning capabilities can meet your needs efficiently and cost-effectively. From automotive components to aerospace parts, our customized solutions cater to various industries with precision and reliability.
