CNC machining services in Pakistan from our Rawalpindi shop floor - 3-axis and 5-axis milling, CNC turning, prototyping and small-to-medium batch production with tolerances down to ±0.005 mm. Vertically integrated with our fabrication and design & development desks, so a job can move from sketch to drawing to machined part to welded sub-assembly under one roof.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is subtractive manufacturing - programmed machines remove material from a solid stock workpiece to produce a finished part to drawing tolerance. Unlike fabrication (where steel is cut and welded into structures) or 3D printing (additive), CNC machining is the dominant process for precision mechanical components: gears, shafts, bushings, valve bodies, hydraulic blocks, instrument housings and complex prototypes.
We sit deliberately in the medium-precision, medium-volume gap - too sophisticated for the curb-shop machinist with one manual lathe, too small for the EPC giants. Tolerances of ±0.01 mm and surface finishes to Ra 0.4 μm on the right materials, with batches from a single prototype to 5,000-unit production runs.
For cylindrical parts: shafts, bushings, pins, threaded fasteners, custom adapters. Lathe work to OD ~Ø 250 mm, length up to 1,000 mm on standard machines and up to 2,000 mm on the heavy-duty lathe. Live-tooling lathes handle cross-drilling and milling features in a single setup, reducing fixturing error.
For prismatic parts: blocks, plates, fixtures, manifolds, mould bases. 3-axis vertical machining centres are the workhorse; 4th-axis indexing handles multi-face work without re-fixturing.
Including deep-hole drilling for hydraulic blocks, line-boring for housing bores, helical milling on large-diameter holes. Tapping in-machine to ISO metric, UNC / UNF and BSP / BSPP threads.
5-axis simultaneous machining for complex geometries - impellers, turbine elements, sculpted features, intricate prototypes that 3-axis cannot reach in a single setup. Fewer setups means tighter geometric tolerances and shorter lead time.
Single-piece prototypes from CAD to part within 5–10 working days. Used for design verification before tooling commits, for special-application replacement parts, and for academic and R&D work. Works hand-in-glove with our CAD & design team for clients without finished drawings.
Heat treatment (induction hardening, case carburising), surface finishing (grinding, hard-chrome, anodising, blackening, passivation), and EDM - routed through our network when a job needs them, with all steps documented in the inspection dossier.
Workpiece envelope across the shop: roughly 800 × 500 × 500 mm on milling and Ø 500 × 2,000 mm on turning. For larger parts we subcontract through partner shops in Wah and Taxila under the same QC dossier.

CNC machining cost comes from four inputs: machine time (the dominant factor), material, finishing / auxiliary processes, and setup. We quote transparently against each so finance teams can see the breakdown.
For moderate-to-high volume (typically > 50 units), we quote a per-piece price. Setup amortises across the batch, so the per-part rate drops 30–60% from prototype rate. Real example: a coupling sleeve quoted at PKR 14,000 as a prototype dropped to PKR 5,200 at batch-of-1,000.
| Prototype Part Type | Indicative Price (per piece) |
|---|---|
| Simple turned part (Ø ≤ 80, length ≤ 200 mm, mild steel) | PKR 4,000 – 12,000 |
| Complex turned / threaded multi-feature | PKR 8,000 – 25,000 |
| 3-axis milled small block | PKR 6,000 – 20,000 |
| 5-axis prototype (complex aluminum housing) | PKR 25,000 – 80,000 |
Stainless steel adds ~25%, tool-steel adds ~30–50% over mild steel.
First-article setup runs PKR 8,000 – 35,000 depending on part complexity, and is waived for repeat orders within 12 months.
For fast-turnaround prototyping (< 5 working days), an expedite premium of 25–40% applies, capacity permitting.
Single-piece prototypes typically run 5–10 working days from CAD release to delivery, depending on geometry, material availability and any heat-treatment or finishing steps. Express prototyping in under 5 working days is available with a 25–40% expedite premium subject to capacity.
There is no fixed minimum batch - we run jobs from a single prototype through to 5,000-unit production runs. Setup amortisation kicks in once batch size exceeds about 50 units, where the per-piece price drops 30–60% from prototype rate. For batches of 1–3 pieces, a setup fee of PKR 8,000–35,000 applies depending on complexity.
Standard machining tolerance is ±0.05 mm. Tight-tolerance work holds ±0.01 mm. Critical 5-axis or ground features hold ±0.005 mm. Surface finish ranges from Ra 1.6 μm standard, Ra 0.4 μm with a finishing pass, down to Ra 0.2 μm on the surface grinder. Tolerance and finish are confirmed in writing per drawing before quoting.
Native: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Pro/ENGINEER, Mastercam. Neutral 3D: STEP, IGES, Parasolid (X_T, X_B). 2D drawings: PDF, DXF, DWG. Reverse engineering from a physical sample is also supported by our design & development desk when no CAD exists.
Yes. The sample is dimensionally measured (digital callipers, profile projector, hardness check, surface-finish reading), drawings are produced in our CAD desk, and a first-article is machined for fitment validation before any production run. This is one of the highest-demand services for plant-floor breakdown work.
