Finding a good CNC machining Company in China may not easy for an overseas customer, especially for the first time. You may need to do some search and research to make sure you choose the right machining shop for the first time. On this post, we’ll give you some tips on choosing a good China CNC machining manufacturer.

1. Choose the Experienced One

Choosing a company who have been in CNC machining industry for a long time will save you a lot of headaches. The length of time the company has been in business is a testament to show you how well their products and services are. Generally, the more time a company spends in CNC machining field, the more experience and skill in machining it gains, the more likely it satisfy you. In China, for a traditional industry like CNC machining industry, a company with more than 10 years of experience would be a good start.

2. The One with Good Machining Capability

After knowing about how long the company has stayed in the CNC manufacturing industry, the next thing you need to find out is how their machining capability is. Looking for one who has the complete sets of CNC machines needed for your project. The must-have machines for a professional CNC machine shop include CNC milling, CNC turning machines, multi-axis machining centers, CNC grinding machine, etc. Working with a company with good machining capacity will ensure you get the most affordable price, high precision parts and quick turnaround lead time, as there is a high rate of variability from machine shop to machine shop when considering capital equipment, process controls, quality standards and more.

3. The One with Good Quality Control

Quality is the most important thing we care about on our way to find the right CNC machining manufacturer, and quality control ability shows how good the quality will be. Before we can know the quality without any product on hand, the best way is to have a study of how their quality control is. For CNC machining industry, a medical-grade supplier’s quality control should be excellent but that would add expense to a commercial-grade product that may not need such high level. Quality control for commodity-type parts will be at a lower but appropriate level. The typical quality control flow for a machining company is incoming raw material inspection, In-Process Quality Check, Finished Parts Inspection, Outgoing Quality Control.

4. The One with Professional Machining Knowledge

If you are looking for a CNC manufacturer in China, the company with professional machining knowledge will have the comprehensive understanding of your project and are easy to work with. And sometimes they can give you good suggestions on how to improve your design to save money. In China, many salesman and engineer can speak good English, which makes the communication much easier, thus ensures your order to be done smoothly without any misunderstandings.

5. Ask for Prototyping Before Production

For CNC machining industry, prototype or sample is the best way to know the machining quality. CNC machined services don’t make any mold, which cost a lot in the metal die-casting process. So it won’t cost you much to have the sample made through CNC machining process. In China, most CNC factories provide samples within 3 working days, and you only need to pay the set-up cost, material cost, and shipping cost. If the quantity you required for production reached a certain amount, the initial cost can be returned back. If the sample is not good enough, you can change for another machine shop without big losses.

6. The One with Good Customer Service

After prototyping process, you’ll have a better idea of how easy it is to communicate with the machining company. Do they listen to your needs? Do they stick to deadlines? Do you enjoy working together? All these shows you how well the customer service of the company you are working with. If the CNC machining manufacturer meets your needs through the prototyping process, they’re more likely to be the right one. In China, most of the machining company have good customer service, they have flexible working on your changing needs, deadlines, and budget. And they are willing to try something new in order to meet your quality standards.
