TiRapid Provides Manufacturing from Rapid Prototypes to Final Products
Product development often moves through proof of concept, engineering prototypes, functional testing, pilot production, and full production. Each stage places different demands on a part. Prototyping emphasizes design feedback and revision speed, pilot production validates assembly and manufacturing methods, and production places greater emphasis on revision control, quality, and batch consistency.
TiRapid can join a project at the rapid-prototyping stage, evaluate the machining approach from CAD models and 2D drawings, and continue into low-volume and follow-on production after the design is approved. Customers do not need to find a new machining resource after the prototype is complete. Confirmed materials, drawing revisions, critical dimensions, finishes, and inspection requirements can continue into later orders.
TiRapid has no mandatory minimum order quantity and can produce one-off samples, small validation batches, and production orders of different sizes. For a product that is still evolving, a customer can manufacture a small number of parts for assembly and testing, then update the design and arrange the next stage according to the validation results.
CNC Machining Capabilities Cover Simple Parts, Complex Surfaces, and Large Components
TiRapid has 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, and large-part machining capabilities, together with CNC milling, CNC turning, micromachining, screw machining, and wire EDM services. These processes cover plates, housings, brackets, shafts, sleeves, flanges, connectors, complex contoured parts, miniature components, and large industrial parts.
Three-axis CNC machining is suitable for parts with flat surfaces, holes, slots, and conventional profiles. Four-axis machining can produce circumferential features and provide continuous access to several sides. Five-axis machining can complete several angles and machining faces in one setup, making it suitable for complex surfaces, angled holes, deep cavities, and parts with closely related features on different faces.
TiRapid has completed more than 30,000 five-axis machining projects, and its 5-axis equipment can handle parts up to 600 mm in length. Multi-axis machining reduces repeated setups and helps control complex geometries and the positional relationship between machining faces. It is used for custom components in aerospace, medical equipment, automotive, robotics, and industrial equipment.
TiRapid CNC Milling Handles Parts up to 3000 mm Long
CNC milling is one of TiRapid’s main manufacturing capabilities. It is used for aluminum, stainless steel, steel, copper alloys, titanium alloys, and a broad selection of engineering plastics. Milling operations include flat surfaces, pockets, hole patterns, threads, profiles, thin-wall structures, and complex contours.
TiRapid’s CNC milling capacity extends to parts up to 3000 mm long, supporting equipment bases, long structural members, large plates, automation frames, and other elongated components. For large parts, the manufacturing team plans around machine travel, workpiece weight, fixture locations, and machining sequence so the component can be positioned, cut, and inspected within the available production setup.
Thin-wall components are another area supported by TiRapid’s CNC milling services. These parts are common in aerospace structures, electronics housings, robotic components, and lightweight equipment. Producing them requires coordination among the toolpath, fixturing method, and cutting parameters to achieve the required wall thickness and external geometry.
CNC Turning, Screw Machining, and Miniature Part Manufacturing
TiRapid’s CNC turning service is suitable for shafts, sleeves, flanges, pins, threaded connectors, and other rotational components. It can machine parts as small as 2 mm and achieve surface finishes up to Ra 0.6. Components that also contain cross holes, milled slots, flats, or other nonrotational features can be produced with a combined turning and milling process.
Screw machining is suited to small, precise parts produced in continuing quantities. Typical applications include pins, fasteners, connectors, and miniature structural components for aerospace, medical equipment, and electronics. Automated equipment can complete feeding, turning, drilling, tapping, and cutoff operations in sequence.
For micro holes, narrow slots, fine profiles, and features that conventional cutting tools cannot easily reach, TiRapid also provides micromachining and wire EDM. Processes can be combined according to part size, geometry, material, and quantity, allowing miniature precision components and intricate details to be handled within the same project.
More Than 80 Materials for Custom Metal and Plastic CNC Parts
TiRapid supports more than 80 machining materials across common metals, alloys, and engineering plastics. Metals include aluminum alloys, stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, copper, bronze, titanium alloys, and nickel-based alloys. Plastics include ABS, POM, PEEK, PTFE, PMMA, PVC, nylon, and HDPE.
Material choice directly affects strength, weight, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, insulation, temperature capability, and the machining method. TiRapid’s engineering team can help customers compare options based on the part’s purpose, operating environment, and design requirements. Aluminum alloys suit lightweight structures and rapid prototypes, stainless steel supports parts that require strength and corrosion resistance, PEEK serves high-temperature and high-performance engineering applications, and POM is often used for low-friction mechanical components.
Customers can also specify material condition, heat treatment, and material-certification requirements. Confirming the material grade together with the drawings gives machining, finishing, and quality inspection one consistent specification to follow.
Engineering Support and Quality Control Connect Design with Production
Free Design Support and DFM Help Move Projects into Manufacturing
TiRapid provides free design support and design for manufacturability analysis. After receiving a 3D model and 2D drawing, the engineering team reviews the part geometry, machining datums, tool access, thin walls, deep cavities, internal radii, hole locations, tolerances, and finishing requirements, then develops a manufacturing approach around the available equipment.
DFM connects the design requirements with real machining conditions. For areas that a cutting tool cannot reach, cavities with a high depth-to-width ratio, structures that may deform, or details that increase machining cost, the engineering team provides corresponding recommendations. The customer can decide whether to revise the design according to the part function and approve the final drawing before production.
TiRapid’s CNC machining tolerances can reach ±0.01 mm, with lead times starting from 3 working days. After the customer submits the drawings, material, quantity, finish, and target schedule, the project team evaluates the process and production arrangement.
ISO 9001 Quality System and a Three-Stage Inspection Process
TiRapid manages production under an ISO 9001 quality management system. Quality control covers three stages: incoming material inspection, in-process inspection, and final inspection. Materials are checked against project requirements before production. During machining, operators and inspectors monitor critical dimensions and production status. Before shipment, finished parts are inspected against the drawings and order requirements.
TiRapid uses coordinate measuring machines, projectors, and other inspection tools to check dimensions, hole positions, profiles, and geometric requirements. Customers can also request material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, first article reports, and other quality documents when placing an order, allowing product acceptance to connect with their internal quality process.
Finishing options include anodizing, hardcoat anodizing, bead blasting, polishing, brushing, passivation, black oxide, chromate conversion, electroplating, and powder coating. Color, gloss, texture, masking locations, and cosmetic requirements can be confirmed with the drawings before production.
Supporting Manufacturing Services Cover Multi-Process Projects
Supporting Services for Injection Molding, Sheet Metal, Stamping Tooling, and Aluminum Extrusion
In addition to CNC machining, TiRapid’s supporting supply chain covers injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, stamping tooling, and aluminum extrusion. For products that combine machined components, sheet metal housings, plastic parts, or extruded structures, customers can coordinate the complete part package around one project.
This service combination is suitable for multi-part projects in automation equipment, robotics, electronics, medical equipment, and industrial machinery. A single machine may require CNC-machined mounting plates and shafts, a sheet metal enclosure, functional plastic components, and an aluminum extrusion frame. Coordinating drawings, quantities, finishes, and delivery information through one project team reduces the fragmentation of manufacturing data across different processes.
Serving Aerospace, Automation, Automotive, Robotics, Medical Equipment, and Other Industries
TiRapid supplies custom part manufacturing for aerospace, automation, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, electronics, communications, industrial equipment, oil and gas, powersports, and semiconductor applications. Product geometry and quality requirements differ by industry, so the manufacturing team selects the machining method, material, and inspection plan from the actual drawings.
Aerospace and robotics projects often use lightweight materials, complex surfaces, and multi-face machining. Automation and industrial equipment commonly require bases, brackets, rail connectors, fixtures, and transmission components. Medical equipment and electronics may contain miniature precision parts, housings, and components with cosmetic surface requirements. TiRapid’s range of manufacturing processes supports these projects from prototyping through production.
