CNC Machining for Production Parts

Reduce part costs with higher quantities of machined parts

We’re not only the fastest manufacturing supplier of machined prototypes but also the most reliable source of on-demand production parts. Why is this important? You have a single-source supplier from concept validation to short-run production.

We offer more competitive pricing at higher quantities in addition to tighter tolerances, hardware assembly, first article inspection (FAI) reporting, material certifications, and additional finishing options like anodizing and chromate plating. It’s CNC machining designed around your project needs—whether prototyping or production.

Anodizing

This process is typically used on machined aluminum parts. Your anodizing options at Brazil Metal Parts:

  • Type II
  • ROHS compliant
  • Class 1 (Clear)
  • Class 2 (Black)

Chromate Plating

Your chromate plating options at Brazil Metal Parts:

  • Type I, Non-ROHS (Yellow)
  • Type II, ROHS (Clear)
  • Class 1A: for maximum protection against corrosion, painted or unpainted
  • Class 3: For maximum protection against corrosion where low electrical resistance is required

Hardware Assembly

  • Dowel pins
  • PEM inserts
  • Helicoils
  • Key inserts

Ink Stamping

  • Black and white

Production parts can be machined in engineering-grade thermoplastic such as ABS (shown above) and Acetal (Delrin).

Quality Reporting

When all of your parts are machined at Brazil Metal Parts you can be assured those parts are going to be produced in one of our AS9100- and ITAR-certified facilities and never outsourced to another machine shop. All parts are inspected for cosmetic conformance to workmanship standards and dimensional conformance on at least three dimensions (typically X, Y, and Z), but with production parts for machining, we also provide conventional inspection reporting like FAIs, Certificate of Compliance (CofC) documentation, and additional certifications like ISO 9001 and AS9100.
