LOM Metal Machining - Precision CNC Machining Services for Custom Metal & Plastic Parts

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled cutting tools to remove material from metal or plastic stock. It is used to produce precise custom parts through processes such as CNC milling, CNC turning, Swiss machining, EDM, and related finishing operations.

LOM Metal Machining can achieve precision tolerances down to ±0.005 mm depending on the material, geometry, wall thickness, feature size, and machining process. For critical dimensions, please provide a 2D drawing with tolerance requirements so our engineering team can review manufacturability before quoting.

We machine aluminum alloys such as 6061-T6, 7075-T6, 2024, and 5052; stainless steels such as 304, 316L, 17-4 PH, and 416; specialty metals including titanium, brass, copper, and Inconel; and engineering plastics such as PEEK, POM, PC, nylon, PTFE, and Ultem.

Typical lead time depends on part complexity, material availability, surface finish, inspection requirements, and order quantity. Simple prototypes can often be produced quickly, while production orders require scheduling for machining, finishing, inspection, and logistics. Our team provides a lead time estimate with each quote after reviewing your files.

Yes. We support one-piece prototypes, low-volume manufacturing, pilot runs, and repeat production orders. This helps customers validate design, test fit and function, complete engineering verification, and scale from prototype to mass production with the same manufacturing partner.

Yes. We can sign a mutual or customer-provided NDA before reviewing drawings, CAD files, product specifications, or confidential project details. We regularly support hardware startups, medical device companies, automotive suppliers, and engineering teams that require strict confidentiality.

Yes. We provide 20+ surface finishing options, including Type II and Type III anodizing, bead blasting, powder coating, passivation, polishing, black oxide, plating, and copper blackening. Our in-house anodizing and copper blackening capabilities help reduce outsourcing delays and improve quality control.

We commonly accept STEP, STP, IGES, X_T, SLDPRT, STL, PDF, DWG, and DXF files. For the most accurate quote, please include 3D CAD files, 2D drawings, material requirements, surface finish, quantity, tolerance notes, and any inspection or documentation requirements.
