Our Precision machining services include:

Wilmington CNC Milling Services

With our state of the art CNC milling machines, we’re able to create intricate, close-tolerance parts by removing material. What is CNC milling? CNC milling is similar to cutting or drilling, and we can perform those operations with our CNC milling machines as well. 

We’re experts at CAM technology and program our machines using CAD/CAM software. If you have a drawing available to send to us, that’s great. If you’re needing assistance with your product design/prototyping services, that’s fine too! We’re here to help no matter what stage of the product design phase you’re in. We ship our precision machined parts across the US. 

Wilmington CNC Turning Services

Our expert machinists excel at CNC turning projects. What is CNC turning? CNC turning involves using a cutting tool to remove material as a workpiece (raw material) rotates around an axis. Operations that can be done with CNC turning includes turning, facing, grooving, parting, threading, drilling, boring, reaming and tapping. 

We can machine a wide variety of materials with our CNC lathes, including most metals (including titanium and other challenging alloys), wood and plastic.  Due to the nature of CNC turning, or a CNC lathe, it is ideal for concentric parts (commonly cylinders and shafts). With our CNC mills, we’re able to achieve very smooth, uniform surface finishes. 

There are many CNC turning companies in Wilmington, and across the great state of North Carolina. How do you choose the best CNC machine shops in Wilmington? When choosing the best local machine shops, ideally you’ll find a combination of machining experience, state of the art CNC machining technology, fair pricing and fantastic service. At Distinctive, we hang our hat on being the best local machining partner. This includes the many companies who use our services  that are not near one of our physical locations. We ship our precision machined parts across the US. 

5-Axis CNC Machining

5 Axis CNC machining allows our cutting tools to simultaneously move along 5 axes. This, along with other factors gives us the ability to produce highly accurate, close-tolerance machined parts. We’ll use 5-axis machining for many industries, but it is commonly used for aerospace machining, where the closest tolerances are a requirement. 

North Carolina is also home to several military installations including Fort Bragg and Pope Army Air Field.  As a result, there’s a high demand for aerospace and defense machining in the state of North Carolina. Our 5-axis machining services are well suited to deliver the precision machined parts that the aerospace industry and military industry demands.   

Aside from the flexibility we have with our 5 axis machines, an inherent advantage is we can perform multiple machining operations with a single setup. Often referred to as “done in one”, a single setup increases both efficiency and accuracy in parts machining.

We specialize in top quality metal fabrication, welding services and CNC machining services at competitive pricing
