Axisform is a CNC machining factory in Dongguan, China. We mill, turn, fabricate, finish and inspect custom parts for engineering teams worldwide — from one prototype to repeat production.
Processes: 5-axis milling, CNC turning, Turn-mill, Wire EDM, Laser cutting, CNC bending, Welding, Anodizing Type II and III, Bead blasting, Powder coating, Passivation, Laser marking, 6061-T6, 7075-T6, Stainless 304 / 316, Brass C36000, Titanium Gr5, PEEK, POM, 3K carbon fiber.
Why engineering teams choose us
Every order starts with an engineer reading your drawing. If a wall is too thin, a radius too small or a tolerance tighter than the function needs, you hear about it with the quote — not after the parts are made.
Programs, fixtures and inspection plans stay on file, so a re-order runs exactly like the first.
How the factory worksCapabilities
Select a capability to see what it covers.
Complex housings, manifolds, impellers and brackets machined in one or two set-ups on 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centers — fewer re-clamps, better positional accuracy.
Shafts, pins, bushings, fittings and threaded parts turned on CNC lathes and turn-mill centers, with live tooling for cross holes and flats.
Laser cutting, CNC bending, stamping and welding for enclosures, chassis, panels and brackets — combined with machined inserts when a design needs both.
Anodizing Type II and III, bead blasting, brushing, plating, passivation, powder coating and laser marking, coordinated with machining so tolerances survive the finish.
First-article inspection, in-process checks and 100% inspection of critical dimensions before shipment, documented in a report that ships with the parts.
Functional prototypes in production materials from one piece — so the part you test is the part you will buy, with DFM notes before volume tooling.

Quality
Quality is planned before the first chip. Critical-to-function dimensions are flagged at quote stage and the inspection plan is built around them.
Materials
Typical properties for comparison; certified values come with your material certificate.
The default for machined aluminum: good strength, excellent machinability, anodizes evenly and is the most cost-effective choice for most prototypes and production parts.
Close to the strength of mild steel at about a third of the weight. Choose it when stiffness and fatigue strength matter more than cost or weldability.
316 adds molybdenum for chloride and salt-water resistance. 303 machines faster than 304 when corrosion demands allow it.
Free-cutting brass is the machinability benchmark — fast cycle times, clean threads and fine cosmetic surfaces.
Highest strength-to-weight in our range and very corrosion resistant, but slow to cut — expect longer cycle times and higher cost.
POM is stable and low-friction; PEEK holds up to heat and chemicals; Nylon is tough but absorbs moisture, so tight tolerances need allowance.
Export logistics
Parts are cleaned, protected and packed in foam-lined cartons or crates, with inspection reports and commercial documents in every shipment.
Engineering notes
A good metal knob depends as much on its bore fit and runout as on its finish. This guide covers knurling patterns, materials, finishes and the main ways knobs attach to shafts in audio, appliance and automotive controls.
Sheet metal is usually cheaper for uniform-wall enclosures and brackets, while CNC machining wins on varying thickness and tight tolerances. This guide compares both and explains bend radius and K-factor basics.
Most quality problems with imported machined parts come from requirements that were never written down. This guide walks through the RFQ package, first article approval, inspection documents, Incoterms and shipping.
There is no real minimum: we machine single prototypes and also run low- and mid-volume production. Per-part prices fall as quantity rises because programming, fixturing and first-article inspection are spread over more pieces.
Send a 3D model (STEP, IGES or X_T) and a 2D drawing with tolerances, and an engineer usually replies within 24 hours on business days with price, lead time and any design-for-manufacturing notes.
Our standard machining tolerance is ±0.05 mm. On critical features we hold down to ±0.005 mm, depending on material, size and geometry. Call out only the dimensions that truly need it — tighter tolerances add inspection time and cost.
STEP, IGES, X_T, STL, SLDPRT, DWG, DXF and PDF. A 3D model plus a 2D PDF drawing showing tolerances, threads and finish requirements gives the fastest and most accurate quote.
We work under an ISO 9001 quality system: first-article inspection, in-process checks and 100% inspection of critical dimensions before shipment using CMM, height gauges, thread gauges and roughness testers. Inspection reports and material certificates are available on request.
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before you share drawings, restrict files to the engineers working on your job, and never reuse customer designs.
