Expert assistance and help

Our expert team is here to assist you with a wide range of services. Here are a few examples of what we can help you with:

DFM analysis

We offer Design for Manufacturability Analysis to ensure your product is optimised for efficient and cost-effective production. Our expert team identifies and resolves design issues that could complicate the manufacturing process.

3D scanning of parts

Our 3D scanning service captures the precise shape of any physical object, creating an accurate digital model. This tool is invaluable for quality control, inspection, and part replication.

Reverse engineering

We provide a comprehensive reverse engineering service, deconstructing and analysing products or components to understand their functionality. This service is ideal for improving designs, replicating discontinued parts, or studying a competitor's product.

Consultancy

Our expert team can help you with everything you need. Just contact us and we will provide you with the support and assistance you require.

FAQ

CNC Machining — frequently asked questions

What is CNC prototyping / a CNC machining prototype service?
CNC prototyping is subtractive manufacturing that cuts functional parts directly from solid plastic or metal blocks using computer-controlled machines. ProtoAnything runs CNC machining across the UK, Sweden and Europe on 400 machines with 500 professionals, producing prototypes and end-use parts in days rather than months, with DFM feedback included on every job.
What materials can ProtoAnything CNC machine?
ProtoAnything CNC machines a wide range of plastics and metals, including ABS, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate, PEEK, PEI (Ultem), PET, Acrylic (PMMA), Acetal (POM/Delrin), PP, PPSU, PSU, PTFE, PVC and UHMW, plus Aluminium, Brass, Copper, Steel, Stainless Steel and Titanium. Upload a CAD file for material-specific pricing and lead times across the UK, Sweden and Europe.
What tolerances and surface finishes can CNC machining achieve?
CNC machining delivers tight tolerances and high-quality surface finishes, making it the preferred process for functional prototypes and end-use parts. Achievable tolerances and finishes depend on part geometry, material and feature complexity, so ProtoAnything reviews each CAD file individually. Upload your STEP, IGES, SLDPRT or STL file for an instant quote with DFM feedback.
How much does a CNC machined prototype cost?
CNC machined prototype cost depends on part geometry, material choice, tolerances and quantity, so there's no fixed price. ProtoAnything gives a free, real-time quote when you upload a CAD file (STEP, IGES, SLDPRT or STL) — secure, confidential, with NDA available on request and no minimum order, across the UK, Sweden and Europe.
How fast is CNC prototyping / what is the lead time?
CNC prototyping lead times can be as fast as 1 day, with most prototypes delivered in days rather than months. ProtoAnything runs 400 machines and 500 professionals 7 days a week across the UK (Oxford), Sweden (Gothenburg) and wider Europe. Upload a CAD file for an exact turnaround based on your part.
CNC machining vs 3D printing — which should I choose?
Choose CNC machining for functional prototypes and end-use parts that need tight tolerances, high surface finish, or production-grade metals and plastics; choose 3D printing (SLS, Multi Jet Fusion, SLA) for complex geometries or faster, lower-cost early-stage iterations. ProtoAnything offers both, plus injection moulding and sheet metal, across the UK, Sweden and Europe — upload your CAD file and get guidance with your quote.
