CNC Milling Services
CNC milling for brackets, plates, housings, and multi-setup parts — machined to your drawing in metals and engineering plastics, prototype through production.
Upload your drawing to our customer portal — then track status, messages and reorders in one place.
Precision Milling, Prototype Through Production
CNC milling uses rotating cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece. It suits parts with flat faces, pockets, slots, and bores, such as brackets, mounting plates, and housings. At Traxis, we use 3-axis milling and multiple setups for parts with features on several faces.
For a milling quote, send your model and drawing with material, quantity, and any critical dimensions or surface-finish requirements. We review the geometry and setup needs before quoting price and lead time.
Key Capabilities
- Drawing tolerances reviewed before quoting
- Pockets, profiles, contours, and precise bores
- Metals and engineering plastics
- Multi-setup parts with features on several faces
Our Milling Capabilities
From simple plates to multi-setup parts
3-Axis Milling
Milling for pockets, slots, holes, and profiles. Ideal for brackets, plates, housings, and a wide range of mechanical components.
- Prismatic parts, pockets, and profiles
- Tight-tolerance features and bores
- Metals and engineering plastics
Multi-Setup Parts
Parts with features on several faces are machined across multiple setups, with fixturing planned so features stay true to the drawing from one setup to the next.
- Features across multiple faces
- Fixturing planned per part
- Consistent from setup to setup

CNC Milling FAQ
Common questions about milled parts, files, and materials
Parts with flat faces, pockets, slots, and bores — brackets, mounting plates, and housings are typical. We also mill automation components, precision fixtures, custom tooling, enclosures and chassis parts, jigs, and check fixtures in metals and engineering plastics. If your part is mostly round or shaft-type, turning is usually the better process; send the drawing and we will review it.
Send your model and drawing with material, quantity, and any critical dimensions or surface-finish requirements. A STEP file and a PDF drawing work best. If you only have one or the other, or your files are in a different CAD format, upload what you have to our customer portal — we'll ask in the RFQ thread if we need anything else.
Yes. Parts with features on several faces are machined across multiple setups, with fixturing planned per part so features stay true to the drawing from one setup to the next. Our 3-axis milling covers pockets, slots, holes, and profiles for brackets, plates, housings, and a wide range of mechanical components.
Aluminum such as 6061 and 7075; stainless steels including 303, 304, 316, and 17-4 PH; carbon and alloy steels such as 1018 and 4140; tool steels; titanium; brass and bronze; and engineering plastics including Delrin/acetal, nylon, PEEK, and UHMW. Specify the grade and condition on your drawing, and ask about other alloys or customer-supplied stock.
Yes. We quote one-off prototypes, small batches, and repeat production runs. Prototype work includes proof-of-concept parts, functional test components, and low-volume pre-production. Send your quantities with the RFQ and we'll quote the price breaks that make sense; once a part is proven out we can run it again consistently.
Milled parts are checked against your drawing before they ship, with checks in process along the way to keep parts consistent through the run. Inspection reports and material certifications are available on request — flag the requirement on your RFQ so it is built into the quote and sourcing can account for it.
Milling runs on the floor of our Austin, TX shop, and the parts go out to customers in 18+ states. See how tolerances and inspection shape a precision machining job, see how the process works, or learn about the shop.
