Swiss CNC Machining for Difficult Alloys
Swiss Machining Services
AXALLOY Precision provides Swiss CNC machining of small, high-value components made from difficult-to-machine alloys. Based in Shenzhen and serving global engineering, procurement and quality teams, we combine multi-axis Swiss turning with process control, documented quality and responsive communication—supporting projects from engineering prototypes through low-volume and repeat production.
Why AXALLOY for Swiss Machining
We combine metallurgical expertise, precision manufacturing and disciplined process control to deliver components that meet the most demanding engineering requirements.
Built for Difficult Alloys
Chip control, toolpath strategy, coolant management and tool selection tuned for nickel, titanium, PH and duplex stainless grades. Process planning considers geometry, tolerances, surface requirements and inspection strategy before metal cutting.
Precision at Small Scale
Dimensional tolerance down to ±0.005 mm and repeatability ±0.003 mm on miniature diameters and fine threads. Strong feature relationships from bar-fed, multi-axis operations with reduced setups.
End-to-End Support
DFM, tolerance review, fixture/tooling planning and manufacturing-process development. Special processes and finishing, inspection and project-specific documentation for export and regulatory needs.
Dependable Communication
Clear technical feedback, risk visibility, controlled change management and on-time delivery commitments. You always know where your project stands.

Design for Swiss Machining
Practical guidelines to ensure your parts are optimized for Swiss CNC manufacturing success.
- 1. Provide both 2D drawings and 3D models with critical features clearly identified
- 2. Specify thread standards (pitch, class, lead-in/out, gauging) and any special thread reliefs
- 3. Call out geometric tolerances (position, concentricity, roundness) on critical interfaces
- 4. Target feature sizes within capability: minimum Ø0.5 mm diameter, M0.8 threads
- 5. Consider manufacturable wall thickness for small diameters; consult us for thin-wall DFM
- 6. Define surface finish requirements by area, and note post-processing needs
- 7. Highlight inspection and documentation expectations early (FAI, traceability)
- 8. Share expected quantities, target dates and repeat-program considerations
