Prototype Machining Services

Penta Precision delivers reliable, high-quality prototype machining services to help you bring your ideas to life.

Our UK-based team combines precision machining with collaborative design support. You get machined prototypes that meet your specifications and help you move confidently to full production.

Our prototype CNC machining services

Our prototype machining services help you turn your ideas into high-quality physical parts. We use advanced CNC machining techniques to create precise and functional prototypes. You get reliable support from start to finish, whether you’re working with finalised CAD models or early-stage design sketches.

We handle everything from CNC milling prototypes to turning small-batch pre-production components. Our engineers bring deep expertise in CNC prototyping and prototype part design. You get consistent, accurate results that help you test, refine, and launch new products faster.

Our CNC machining prototype service also includes design advice and support. We review your files to ensure your parts are cost-effective to produce. You benefit from our experience in prototype machining UK projects that demand the highest standards.

CNC Milling for Prototypes

We use advanced CNC milling to produce CNC milling prototype parts with tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes. Our team has experience working with metals and plastics to create precise, repeatable prototypes. You get components that match your design, ready for testing and refinement.

We can work from 3D CAD models like STEP, IGES, and CAD or 2D drawings such as DXF and PDF. If you only have sketches or samples, we can reverse engineer them into full machining drawings. Our engineers ensure each cnc machining prototype service meets your requirements.

Our modern CNC milling centres and quick-set tooling systems support tight timelines for prototype manufacturing UK projects. We prioritise efficient setups and reliable processes. This means you get your prototypes quickly, without compromising quality.

 CNC Turning for Prototypes

Our prototype CNC turning services help you develop round and cylindrical parts for your next project. We combine modern CNC turning centres with manual lathes to deliver the best value and accuracy. This ensures your prototype CNC machining is completed to your exact needs.

We can handle both small prototype batches and one-off parts. Our team works with CAD/CAM software to achieve precise results. You can be confident your CNC machined prototypes are consistent, reliable, and fit for purpose.

We also work with basic sketches or samples to create precise machining drawings. Our experts provide advice on materials and design to get the best outcome. You’ll see your ideas come to life with our CNC prototype service.
