Rapid CNC Prototyping

Despite the tremendous advances in 3D Printing, CNC machining is still an important tool in the modern prototype/model making establishment.

There are many situations where CNC Machining is still the best approach to creating a 3D model prototype. Whether your material of choice is not available via 3D printing or machining is still the best for timing and/or cost constraints; MNL’s technology consultants will advise your best solution.

Combining the latest CNC machining and turning processes with proprietary technology to deliver high quality, on-demand parts, Malcolm Nicholls Limited (MNL) offers a full subcontract CNC machining service nationwide.

Regardless of size, complexity or quantity, we have a choice of processes to produce your CNC machined components. MNL subcontract out to a selection of companies that have been specifically chosen for their material choice, quality and willingness to do prototype runs alongside their production.

Precision components can be produced via 3 or 5 axis milling or multi-axis turning (11 axis!) in a broad range of materials including: Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Copper, Steel, Brass, Titanium, Sterling Silver, Bronze, etc.; hard plastics and other materials: ABS,PP, Nylon, Acetal, Polycarbonate, Acrylic, PTFE, ABS, PVC, etc.
