Våre CNC-produksjonstjenester

Takket være vår høye spesialiseringsgrad innen CNC-maskinering og all nødvendig etterbearbeiding kan vi levere fremragende kvalitet, svært gode betingelser og førsteklasses logistikk for dine maskinerte deler.

CNC-Fresing

CNC-freste deler er nøyaktige komponenter som lages ved at materialet bearbeides bort fra et massivt emne med datastyrte roterende verktøy, noe som gir presise toleranser og avanserte former. De brukes på tvers av bransjer i alt fra prototyper til ferdige produkter, samt i jigger, fiksturer og presise sammenstillinger der passform og repeterbar kvalitet er avgjørende.

  • Fra 1 stk.
  • Toleranser og overflatekrav i henhold til tegning eller etter generelle toleranser
  • Fra 3-akse fresejobber til komplekse 5-akse deler
  • Leveringstid fra 3 virkedager.
CNC-Dreiing

CNC-dreide deler produseres ved at emnet roterer i en dreiebenk mens datastyrte verktøy former overflaten, typisk til sylindriske, koniske eller gjengede geometrier med høy nøyaktighet.
Slike deler finner du ofte som aksler, foringer, pinner, hylser og koblinger – kort sagt rotasjonssymmetriske komponenter der jevne overflater og stabile mål betyr mest.

  • Fra 1 stk.
  • Toleranser og overflatekrav i henhold til tegning eller etter generelle toleranser
  • Over 1.000 CNC-dreiesentre tilgjengelig for prosjektene dine.
  • Kapasitet for flerakse frese-dreining og kombinert maskinering.
Etterbearbeiding

Etterbehandling omfatter både estetiske og funksjonelle tiltak som avgrading, tromling, blåsing, polering, anodisering, belegg, passivering, varmebehandling og ulike typer coating for å løfte sluttresultatet. Målet er å gi delene bedre slitestyrke og korrosjonsbeskyttelse, tilpasse hardhet og friksjon, forbedre levetid under belastning og sikre at overflate, renhet og toleranser møter kravene i krevende bruksområder.

  • Umiddelbar prising for over 40 overflatebehandlinger.
  • Ulike varmebehandlinger og overflatebehandlinger er tilgjengelige.
  • Kan legges til direkte og prises umiddelbart på dine CNC-deler.

f.a.q.

CNC-produksjon kan reise komplekse spørsmål. Eller være ganske enkelt.

CNC-maskinerte deler handler om presisjon. Derfor har vi innrettet alle prosessene våre etter de høyeste kvalitetsstandardene. Målet vårt er å gjøre kvalitet på tysk nivå tilgjengelig på attraktive betingelser.

Hva skiller InstaWerk fra andre CNC-produsenter?

Hos InstaWerk kommer kunden først – derfor utformer vi prosessene våre med et tydelig kundefokus. Å bestille dreide og freste deler fra InstaWerk er enkelt, kostnadseffektivt og raskt. Gjennom digitale prosesser og høy grad av automatisering effektiviserer vi bestillingsflyten og kan gi kostnadsfordelen direkte videre til kundene våre. En viktig byggestein er onlinekalkulatoren vår, som du kan bruke til å beregne og bestille dreide og freste deler 24 timer i døgnet.

Kvaliteten på komponentene er avgjørende. Derfor opererer vi med et lukket produksjonsnettverk for å holde dataene dine trygge og sikre produksjon med høy kvalitet. Takket være vår unike ordresamling kan vi tildele større ordrevolum til CNC-produsentene våre og oppnå konkurransedyktige priser. Slik kan vi kombinere lave kostnader for kundene våre med komponenter av høyeste kvalitet.

Hvordan sikrer InstaWerk de høyeste kvalitetsstandardene i et distribuert nettverk av produsenter?

Først går alle produksjonspartnere gjennom en akkrediteringsprosess der vi vurderer produksjonskapasitet, kvalitetsprosesser og teknisk kompetanse. Kun CNC-produsenter som oppfyller våre høye kvalitetskrav, tas opp i produksjonsnettverket.

Vi opererer også et lukket produksjonsnettverk. Det betyr at produsenter ikke kan bli med fritt, og at de heller ikke kan se prosjekter uten å bli tildelt dem.

Ved å bruke våre evner innen dataanalyse og erfaringen fra tusenvis av produksjonsprosjekter kan vi, basert på nøkkelindikatorer, belønne leverandører som leverer svært godt med flere oppdrag og samtidig ekskludere leverandører som presterer under gjennomsnittet. Slik øker plattformkvaliteten vår gradvis.

For å videreutvikle produksjonspartnerne våre fremmer vi en kultur for åpen kommunikasjon, regelmessige kvalitetsrevisjoner og prosesser for kontinuerlig kvalitetsforbedring.

Produserer dere bare prototyper, eller finnes det også en løsning for serieproduksjon?

Vi leverer både prototyper og seriedeler. Onlinekalkulatoren vår egner seg spesielt godt for prototyper og mindre volum. Her kan du bruke CAD-modellen din til å beregne ulike konfigurasjoner av dine dreide og freste deler, og bestille direkte på nett.

For seriedeler med større volum, eller freste deler i spesiallegeringer, er en forespørsel via kontaktskjemaet derimot det beste alternativet. Vi gjennomgår underlaget ditt og utarbeider gjerne et tilbud. Ingeniørteamet vårt håndterer også alle mer detaljerte spørsmål i forbindelse med serieforespørsler.

Hva er fordelene med on-demand-produksjon for bedrifter?

I en tid med økende usikkerhet og knapphet i leverandørkjeder, gir on-demand-tjenester en mer fleksibel, kostnadseffektiv og robust løsning enn å investere i egne maskiner, vedlikeholde dem og bygge opp intern produksjonskapasitet. Mange virksomheter ser også verdien av enkle, digitaliserte prosesser – og muligheten til å fokusere på kjernevirksomheten fremfor å bruke tid på daglige produksjonsutfordringer, enten de sitter i Oslo-regionen, på Vestlandet eller i Trøndelag.

For oppstartsbedrifter, forskningsmiljøer og andre innovasjonsdrivere ligger verdien i InstaWerk først og fremst i å kunne bestille raske, kostnadseffektive og svært høy-kvalitets dreide og freste deler på en enkel måte. Det gjør at små team kan utvikle innovasjoner og få dem raskt ut i markedet – fra teknologiklynger i Oslo og Trondheim til industrimiljøer i Bergen og Stavanger.

Også større selskaper foretrekker InstaWerk. I tillegg til uslåelige betingelser tilbyr vi digitale prosesser, raske og ukompliserte innkjøpsløp og enestående kvalitet. Derfor blir InstaWerk en stadig mer foretrukket løsning i strategisk innkjøp hos flere og flere større virksomheter i Norge.

Hvordan produseres delene mine og hvordan blir de sendt til meg?

Etter bestillingen blir underlaget ditt gjennomgått og godkjent av teamet vårt. Deretter mottar du en ordrebekreftelse med betalingsinformasjon fra oss. Så tildeler algoritmen vår produksjonsordren til en produksjonsbatch, som allokeres til en egnet CNC-produsent. Dataene dine er beskyttet mot uautorisert tilgang, og kun de som faktisk trenger å se underlaget får tilgang.

Tilgjengelige materialer for CNC-bearbeiding

Hos InstaWerk er aluminium et naturlig førstevalg for CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler når lav vekt, god korrosjonsmotstand og fornuftig kostnadsnivå er viktig. Materialet brukes ofte til kapslinger, braketter, bærende deler og funksjonskomponenter innen maskinbygging, bilrelaterte applikasjoner og elektronikk. Vanlige legeringer er EN AW-6061 og EN AW-6082 – to robuste alternativer for lette CNC-deler med god mekanisk ytelse.

AlMg1SiCu – EN AW-6061 – 3.3211

AlMg1SiCu (EN AW-6061, 3.3211) is a widely used aluminium for CNC machining of brackets, housings, frames and lightweight structural components, especially where both CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts need good dimensional stability. Advantages include very good machinability, a strong strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and consistently clean surface finishes in CNC Milling and CNC Turning. Disadvantages are lower hardness and wear resistance than steels, limited suitability for high-temperature load cases, and a tendency for thin sections to vibrate if the setup is not rigid.

AlZn5,5MgCu – EN AW-7075 (Ergal) – 3.4365

AlZn5,5MgCu (EN AW-7075, Ergal, 3.4365) is used for high-performance CNC machined parts such as load-critical brackets, precision mounts, structural connectors and high-strength shafts, often as CNC milled parts with occasional CNC turned parts where maximum strength-to-weight matters. Advantages are very high strength and stiffness for aluminium plus strong fatigue performance, enabling lightweight designs that would otherwise require steel. Disadvantages include weaker corrosion resistance than 6xxx/5xxx alloys, limited weldability, and higher material cost; protective finishing is often needed depending on environment.

AlMgSi1 – EN AW-6082 (Anticorodal) – 3.2315

AlMgSi1 (EN AW-6082, Anticorodal, 3.2315) is a standard choice for structural CNC machined parts like brackets, frames, plates, mounts and machined blocks, especially when you need stiff CNC milled parts and solid CNC turned parts in one build. Advantages include higher strength than many 6xxx alloys, good corrosion resistance, and generally reliable machinability for CNC Milling and CNC Turning with stable tolerances. Disadvantages are less consistent decorative surface quality compared to 6060/6063 (not ideal for premium anodized cosmetics) and a higher risk of distortion on thin or highly relieved geometries if residual stresses are present.

AlMg0,7Si – EN AW-6063 – 3.3206

AlMg0,7Si (EN AW-6063, 3.3206) is often chosen for CNC machining of lightweight profiles, covers, trim parts and functional housings where good surface quality matters for CNC milled parts and simple CNC turned parts. Advantages include excellent corrosion resistance, very good anodizing response for decorative finishes, and stable behavior in CNC Milling when cutting loads are moderate. Disadvantages are lower strength than EN AW-6061 and a higher sensitivity to deformation on thin walls, so it is less ideal for highly loaded CNC machined parts.

AlMg2,5 – EN AW-5052 – 3.3523

AlMg2,5 (EN AW-5052, 3.3523) is commonly used for corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as covers, plates, marine and chemical-environment components, and lightweight fixtures, typically produced as CNC milled parts from plate and as simpler CNC turned parts from bar. Key advantages are excellent corrosion resistance (especially in saltwater), good fatigue performance for its class, and reliable results in CNC machining when surface finish is prioritized over maximum strength. Disadvantages are lower strength and hardness than 6xxx alloys, plus a more “gummy” cutting behavior that can increase burrs and built-up edge, making very sharp edges and tight cosmetic requirements more demanding.

AlCuMgPb – EN AW-2007 – 3.1645

AlCuMgPb (EN AW-2007, 3.1645) is a classic choice for high-precision CNC machining of fasteners, fittings, shafts and connector-style components, especially when producing large volumes of CNC turned parts with tight tolerances. Its main advantages are outstanding machinability, excellent chip breaking and high strength, which enables fast cycle times and very consistent CNC machined parts in CNC Turning. Downsides are comparatively weak corrosion resistance and limited suitability for welding or decorative anodizing, plus the lead content can trigger compliance restrictions depending on industry and destination market.

AlCuMg1 – EN AW-2017A – 3.1325

AlCuMg1 (EN AW-2017A, 3.1325) is frequently used for load-bearing CNC machined parts like brackets, structural connectors, plates and precision components where higher strength than 6xxx aluminium is needed in CNC milling and occasional CNC turned parts. Advantages include high strength, good fatigue performance and reliable dimensional stability, making it suitable for mechanically stressed CNC milled parts. Disadvantages are reduced corrosion resistance compared to 5xxx and 6xxx alloys, and anodizing quality is typically less uniform, so it is not ideal for decorative surfaces without additional protection.

AlCu4Mg1 – EN AW-2024 – 3.1355

AlCu4Mg1 (EN AW-2024, 3.1355) is a high-strength aerospace-grade aluminium used for heavily loaded CNC machined parts such as structural brackets, rib-like components, precision plates and performance-critical fittings, typically produced as CNC milled parts and occasionally as CNC turned parts. Advantages are excellent strength-to-weight ratio and strong fatigue behavior, enabling lightweight designs without moving to steel. Disadvantages include poor corrosion resistance compared to 6xxx/5xxx alloys, limited weldability and less consistent decorative finishing, so protective coatings are often required.

AlMg4,5Mn – EN AW-5083 (Peraluminium) – 3.3547

AlMg4,5Mn (EN AW-5083, 3.3547) is typically used for robust, corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as marine and offshore components, plates, brackets, base parts and pressure-related hardware, most often produced as CNC milled parts from thick plate and occasionally as CNC turned parts from bar. Advantages include excellent seawater corrosion resistance, high strength for a 5xxx alloy, and very good toughness, making it a strong choice for demanding environments in CNC machining. Disadvantages are a relatively ductile cutting behavior that can promote burr formation and built-up edge, plus it is not ideal for decorative anodizing compared to 6xxx alloys.

AlMg3 – EN AW-5754 – 3.3535

AlMg3 (EN AW-5754, 3.3535) is widely used for corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as plates, covers, brackets, panels and enclosures, especially in automotive, marine and general equipment where CNC milled parts dominate and simpler CNC turned parts are possible from bar. Advantages include excellent corrosion resistance, good toughness and weldability, plus reliable performance for medium-load applications. Disadvantages are lower strength than many 6xxx/2xxx alloys and a more ductile “gummy” cutting behavior that can increase burrs and make crisp edges harder to achieve.

AlMgSi0.5 – EN AW-6060 – 3.3206

AlMgSi0.5 (EN AW-6060, 3.3206) is commonly used for CNC machined parts like lightweight housings, brackets, covers and profile-based components where good surface finish is important for CNC milled parts and straightforward CNC turned parts. Advantages include good corrosion resistance, stable machining behavior, and an excellent response to anodizing, which makes it attractive for visible CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are lower strength than EN AW-6061 and reduced suitability for highly loaded interfaces, plus thin walls can deform if clamping is aggressive.

Stål er ofte førstevalget hos InstaWerk for CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler som må være sterke, robuste og samtidig kostnadseffektive – for eksempel aksler, pinner, fiksturer, basekomponenter og maskinelementer med høy belastning. Kategorien dekker alt fra lettbearbeidede kvaliteter til seigherdende og varmebehandlelige konstruksjonsstål. Vanlige materialer er 42CrMo4 (4140) og C45 (1.0503) – velprøvde alternativer for slitesterke CNC-deler som skal tåle mekanisk last over tid.

C45 – AISI 1045 – 1.0503

C45 (AISI 1045, 1.0503) is a widely used medium-carbon steel for CNC machining of shafts, pins, bolts, levers, bushings and general machine components, often produced as CNC turned parts with secondary CNC milled parts like flats, keyways or pockets. Advantages include good strength, good wear potential after heat treatment, and broad availability, making it a solid default for robust CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are lower machinability than free-machining steels, limited weldability, and low corrosion resistance, so protective finishing is often needed.

S235JR – St 37-2 – 1.0038

S235JR (St 37-2, 1.0038) is a general-purpose structural steel used for simple CNC machined parts such as base plates, brackets, frames, mounts and welded assemblies where CNC milled parts are primarily needed and CNC turned parts are straightforward. Advantages are low cost, wide availability, good formability and weldability, making it practical for functional components that do not require high strength. Disadvantages are comparatively low mechanical performance, variable machinability depending on batch and condition, and poor corrosion resistance, so coating is often required for durable CNC machined parts.

S355J2+N – ST 52-3 – 1.0570

S355J2+N (ST 52-3, 1.0570) is a common choice for CNC machining of structural CNC machined parts such as machine frames, brackets, mounts, base plates and welded fabrications where higher strength than S235 is needed, typically as CNC milled parts and also as CNC turned parts for pins and shafts. Advantages include good strength and toughness, reliable availability, and solid weldability, making it a practical engineering steel for heavy-duty components. Disadvantages are limited corrosion resistance, higher cutting forces than free-machining grades, and variable surface finish potential depending on supply condition, so coatings and realistic cosmetic expectations are important.

40CrMnNiMo8-6 – Tool Steel MCMS – 1.2312

40CrMnNiMo8-6 (Tool Steel MCMS, 1.2312) is typically used for CNC machining of plastic injection mold bases, frames, insert plates, holders and general tooling components where you want ready-to-machine, pre-hardened stock for CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts. The big advantages are that it’s supplied quenched and tempered, offers high toughness and dimensional stability, and the sulfur addition improves machinability and chip control, which helps shorten cycle times in CNC Milling and CNC Turning. Key drawbacks are only moderate corrosion resistance (not a stainless grade), generally poor weldability, and reduced polishability compared to low-sulfur mold steels, so it’s not ideal when mirror-grade surfaces are required.

42CrMo(S)4 – 4140 – 1.7227

42CrMo(S)4 (4140, 1.7227) is a versatile alloy steel for CNC machining of shafts, axles, bolts, clamps, machine components and highly loaded adapters, produced as both CNC turned parts and CNC milled parts when strength and toughness are required. Advantages include high mechanical strength, good fatigue resistance and broad availability in different heat-treatment conditions, which makes it a reliable default for demanding CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are higher weight than aluminium, the need for corrosion protection in many environments, and noticeably higher cutting forces and tool wear compared to free-machining steels.

11SMn30/9SMn28 – 1215/1213 – 1.0715

11SMn30/9SMn28 (1215/1213, 1.0715) is a classic free-machining steel for high-volume CNC turned parts like bushings, spacers, fittings, pins and small shafts, and it also works well for straightforward CNC milled parts where maximum productivity matters more than peak strength. Advantages are excellent machinability, very short chips, high cutting speeds and clean surfaces, which makes it ideal for cost-effective CNC machining with tight cycle times. Disadvantages are comparatively low strength and toughness, reduced weldability, and limited corrosion resistance, so it is not suited for heavily loaded or outdoor CNC machined parts without protection.

9SMnPb36 – 12L14 – 1.0737

9SMnPb36 (12L14, 1.0737) is a top choice for ultra-efficient CNC machining of high-volume CNC turned parts such as fittings, screws, bushings, spacers and precision pins, and it also performs well for simple CNC milled parts with many drilled or tapped features. Advantages are outstanding machinability, excellent chip breaking, very low cutting forces and consistently clean surfaces, which enables fast CNC Turning and CNC Milling with tight tolerances at low cost. Disadvantages include low strength and impact toughness, poor weldability, and limited corrosion resistance, plus the lead content can be problematic for compliance or industry restrictions depending on the application.

16MnCr5 – AISI 5115 – EC80 – 1.7131

16MnCr5 (AISI 5115, EC80, 1.7131) is commonly used for CNC machining of gears, sprockets, shafts, bushings and wear-critical machine elements that will be case hardened, with pre-machining done as CNC turned parts and CNC milled parts before heat treatment. Advantages are excellent suitability for carburizing, a tough core with a hard wear-resistant surface after hardening, and good fatigue performance for drivetrain-style CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are that properties depend strongly on heat treatment, distortion during carburizing and quenching can be significant, and corrosion resistance is low without coating.

Rustfritt stål velges hos InstaWerk for CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler når korrosjonsmotstand, renholdbarhet og varige overflater er avgjørende – særlig i utstyr for mat, medisinsk teknologi, kjemisk prosessindustri og marine miljøer. Riktig kvalitet avhenger i stor grad av mediet og miljøet delen skal stå i. Vanlige valg er AISI 304 (1.4301) og AISI 316L (1.4404) – to etablerte standarder for korrosjonsbestandige CNC-bearbeidede deler.

X5CrNi18-10 – Edelstahl V2A – AISI 304 – 1.4301

X5CrNi18-10 (V2A, AISI 304, 1.4301) is widely used for corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as fittings, housings, brackets, medical and food-contact hardware, produced as CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts when cleanliness and durability matter. Advantages include very good general corrosion resistance, good formability, and a wide standards ecosystem that makes sourcing and specification straightforward. Disadvantages are comparatively difficult CNC machining due to strong work hardening, higher cutting forces, heat buildup and a tendency to produce long stringy chips, plus it is not ideal for chloride environments compared to 316.

X2CrNiMo17-12-2 – Edelstahl V4A – AISI 316 – 1.4401

X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (V4A, AISI 316, 1.4401) is a go-to stainless steel for corrosion-critical CNC machined parts such as valves, fittings, marine hardware, chemical-processing components and medical-grade housings, produced as both CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts. Advantages include excellent resistance to chlorides and many chemicals compared to 304, strong long-term durability, and good suitability for hygienic applications with high surface quality requirements. Disadvantages are challenging CNC machining due to work hardening, heat concentration and stringy chips, plus higher material and machining cost than 304 or carbon steels.

X8CrNiS18-9 – AISI 303 – 1.4305

X8CrNiS18-9 (AISI 303, 1.4305) is a free-machining stainless steel used for efficient CNC machining of fittings, screws, bushings, spacers and precision shafts, especially for high-volume CNC turned parts with secondary CNC milled parts like flats and drilled features. Advantages are excellent machinability for a stainless grade, good chip breaking and fast cycle times in CNC Turning and CNC Milling, while still providing useful corrosion resistance for indoor and mildly corrosive environments. Disadvantages are reduced corrosion resistance and lower toughness than 304 due to the sulfur addition, and weldability is generally poor, so it is not ideal for welded or chloride-exposed CNC machined parts.

X2CrNiMo17-12-2 – Edelstahl AISI 316L – 1.4404

X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (AISI 316L, 1.4404) is commonly used for corrosion-critical CNC machined parts such as medical and pharma components, food-processing hardware, marine fittings and chemical-industry parts, produced as CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts when long-term resistance and cleanability matter. Advantages include excellent chloride and chemical resistance plus improved weldability versus 316 due to the low-carbon grade, reducing sensitization risk in welded assemblies. Disadvantages are demanding CNC machining from work hardening, heat buildup and stringy chips, along with higher cost than 304 and longer cycle times for tight-tolerance CNC machined parts. For CNC Turning and CNC Milling, we use sharp, wear-resistant carbide tools, keep feed stable to avoid rubbing, apply high coolant flow and chip breaking strategies, and minimize dwell time to prevent work hardening that quickly impacts tool life and surface finish.

X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 – Edelstahl AISI 316Ti – 1.4571

X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 (AISI 316Ti, 1.4571) is used for CNC machined parts like exhaust and high-temperature process components, chemical-industry fittings, clamps and housings where 316-level corrosion resistance is needed with improved stability at elevated temperatures, produced as CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts. Advantages include strong resistance to chlorides and many chemicals plus better intergranular corrosion behavior after thermal exposure thanks to titanium stabilization, which is useful for welded or heat-affected assemblies. Disadvantages are higher material cost and challenging CNC machining due to work hardening, heat concentration and stringy chips, often leading to shorter tool life than free-machining stainless grades. For CNC Turning and CNC Milling, we use sharp coated carbide tooling, maintain consistent chip load to avoid rubbing, apply ample coolant and reliable chip breaking, and avoid dwell or re-cutting chips to keep surface quality and tolerances stable on CNC machined parts.

X20Cr13 – Edelstahl AISI 420 – 1.4021

X20Cr13 (AISI 420, 1.4021) is a martensitic stainless steel used for CNC machined parts like shafts, valve components, pump parts, wear faces and tooling-style components where higher hardness is needed, often as CNC turned parts with additional CNC milled parts for keyways, flats or pockets. Advantages include the ability to heat treat to high hardness and good wear resistance, with better corrosion resistance than carbon steels in mild environments. Disadvantages are lower corrosion resistance than 304/316, reduced toughness at higher hardness levels, and machining difficulty increases strongly after hardening.

Titan er et sterkt alternativ hos InstaWerk for CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler når du trenger høy styrke med lav vekt, eller svært god korrosjonsmotstand – typisk i luftfart, motorsport, medisinske applikasjoner og kjemisk industri. Det velges ofte når aluminium ikke gir nok styrke, og når stål enten blir for tungt eller ikke tåler miljøet godt nok. Vanlige kvaliteter er Titanium Grade 2 (3.7035) og Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V (3.7165) – begge mye brukt i CNC-deler med høye ytelseskrav.

Titanium Grade 2 (3.7035, Ti 2) is widely used for corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as fittings, flanges, heat-exchanger components, chemical-process hardware and medical or marine components, produced as CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts when durability and low weight matter more than maximum strength. Advantages include excellent corrosion resistance, very good ductility and formability, and reliable performance in aggressive media, making it a strong choice for long-life CNC machining applications. Disadvantages are lower strength than titanium alloys like Ti-6Al-4V, higher material and machining cost, and a tendency to gall and transfer material to the tool, which can hurt surface finish.

3.7165 Grade 5 Ti6Al4V

Titanium Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V (3.7165) is used for high-performance CNC machined parts such as aerospace brackets, lightweight structural components, medical implants, motorsport hardware and high-strength fasteners, produced as both CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts where strength-to-weight is critical. Advantages include very high strength, excellent fatigue performance and strong corrosion resistance, enabling compact designs with long service life. Disadvantages are higher material and machining cost, low thermal conductivity that drives heat into the tool, and a tendency for tool wear and surface damage if parameters are too aggressive.

Polymerer brukes hos InstaWerk for CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler når lav vekt, elektrisk isolasjon, kjemikaliebestandighet eller lav friksjon er viktig – ofte til funksjonsdeler og slitekomponenter. Avhengig av bruksområdet spenner dette fra prisgunstige kapslinger til mer avanserte deler som skal tåle aggressive medier. Vanlige materialer er POM-C (Delrin) og PEEK – stabile valg for funksjonelle CNC-deler med tydelige og forutsigbare egenskaper.

PTFE – Teflon

PTFE (Teflon) is widely used for chemically resistant seals, valve seats, insulating components, slide bearings and low-friction liners where CNC machined parts must remain stable in aggressive media. Key advantages are outstanding chemical resistance, extremely low friction and broad temperature capability, which makes PTFE ideal for demanding process and fluid-handling applications. Disadvantages are low stiffness and strength, creep under sustained load, and comparatively high thermal expansion, so precision fits and thin features can shift with temperature or load over time. When specifying PTFE CNC machined parts, consider whether you need filled PTFE (glass, carbon, bronze) for better wear and reduced creep, define allowable deformation, and ensure the design accounts for sealing compression, thermal movement and long-term dimensional stability.

POM-C – Delrin

POM-C (Delrin, acetal copolymer) is commonly used for low-friction, dimensionally stable CNC machined parts like bushings, gears, sliders, spacers, valve components and precise mechanical housings. Advantages include high stiffness for a polymer, good wear behavior, low moisture absorption and reliable tolerances, making it a strong choice for functional CNC milled parts and CNC turned parts in automation and machinery. Disadvantages are limited high-temperature performance, sensitivity to strong acids and oxidizers, and lower impact toughness than some engineering plastics, depending on design. When selecting POM-C CNC machined parts, consider contact pressure and wear pairing, whether food-contact or low-noise requirements apply, and if humidity, chemicals or elevated temperatures suggest alternatives like PA, PEEK or filled grades.

PEEK

PEEK is used for high-end CNC machined parts in aerospace, medical, electronics and chemical equipment, especially for lightweight components that must handle heat, chemicals and continuous mechanical load. Key advantages are excellent strength and stiffness for a polymer, high temperature capability, outstanding chemical resistance and very good long-term dimensional stability, making PEEK suitable for demanding CNC machined parts where metals are too heavy or reactive. Disadvantages are high material cost and, depending on the application, lower thermal conductivity and surface hardness than metals, which can limit extreme wear or heat dissipation requirements. When specifying PEEK CNC machined parts, clarify whether unfilled or reinforced grades (glass or carbon fiber) are needed for stiffness and creep resistance, and account for mating surfaces, tolerances across temperature, and regulatory needs (for example medical or aerospace documentation).

PA 6 Nylon

PA6 (Nylon) is widely used for tough, lightweight CNC machined parts such as bushings, sliders, rollers, wear pads, covers and general mechanical components where impact resistance and abrasion performance matter. Advantages include good toughness, low friction, good wear behavior and an attractive cost-performance ratio for functional CNC machined parts in machinery and automation. Disadvantages are moisture absorption and resulting dimensional change, plus reduced stiffness and strength at elevated temperatures compared with higher-end polymers like PEEK. When specifying PA6 CNC machined parts, consider whether the application tolerates moisture-driven size changes, whether a stabilized or filled grade is needed for stiffness and wear, and if exposure to water, heat or tight fits suggests PA12, POM-C or PEEK instead.

PA 66-GF30

PA66-GF30 (Nylon 66 with 30% glass fiber) is used for stiff, load-bearing CNC machined parts such as structural brackets, mounts, housings, support elements and mechanically stressed components in automation and equipment. Advantages include significantly higher stiffness and strength than unfilled nylon, improved creep resistance and good temperature capability for a polymer, making it suitable for durable CNC machined parts under sustained load. Disadvantages are more brittle behavior than unfilled PA, potential fiber-related surface roughness, and continued moisture sensitivity that can influence dimensions and properties over time. When specifying PA66-GF30 CNC machined parts, check impact and vibration demands, define tolerances with humidity and temperature in mind, and consider wear interfaces and mating materials since glass fiber can increase abrasion on counterparts.

PE 300 (PE-HD)

PE 300 (PE-HD) is commonly used for chemically resistant CNC machined parts such as tanks and vessel components, liners, guides, wear strips, sliders and food-industry parts where toughness and moisture immunity matter. Advantages include excellent chemical resistance, very low water absorption, strong impact toughness and good suitability for contact with many media, making it a pragmatic choice for durable CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are relatively low stiffness, higher thermal expansion and creep under constant load, so it is not ideal for tight tolerance or highly loaded interfaces. When specifying PE-HD CNC machined parts, consider temperature range, allowable deformation over time, and whether higher stiffness or wear performance calls for UHMW-PE, POM-C or PEEK, especially for precision fits and sliding applications.

PE 1000 (PE-UHMW)

PE 1000 (PE-UHMW) is widely used for highly wear-resistant CNC machined parts such as guides, chain rails, slide plates, hopper liners, wear strips and conveying components where low friction and impact toughness are critical. Advantages include outstanding abrasion resistance, very low coefficient of friction, excellent impact strength and strong chemical resistance, which makes it ideal for long-life sliding and bulk-handling applications. Disadvantages are low stiffness, pronounced creep under sustained load and relatively high thermal expansion, so precision fits and load-bearing structures can be challenging. When specifying PE-UHMW CNC machined parts, focus on contact pressure and long-term deformation limits, define tolerances with temperature movement in mind, and consider alternatives like POM-C or PEEK if higher rigidity or dimensional stability is required.

ABS

ABS is a cost-effective option for CNC machined parts such as housings, covers, fixtures, prototypes and functional components where good impact resistance and a clean, paintable surface are important. Advantages include good toughness, decent stiffness, attractive surface appearance and broad applicability for CNC machined parts in enclosures and general mechanical designs. Disadvantages are limited heat resistance compared to engineering plastics, moderate chemical resistance, and sensitivity to UV and weathering, so it is typically better for indoor use. When specifying ABS CNC machined parts, consider operating temperature, exposure to oils and solvents, and whether higher strength, flame ratings or outdoor durability suggest alternatives like PC, PA, or PEEK.

PP

PP (Polypropylene) is commonly used for chemically resistant CNC machined parts such as fluid-handling components, laboratory and process parts, lightweight housings and insulating elements where low density and media resistance are key. Advantages include excellent resistance to many acids and bases, very low moisture absorption, good fatigue behavior (living-hinge style flexibility) and an attractive cost profile for CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are lower stiffness and creep resistance than many engineering plastics, limited low-temperature impact performance, and relatively high thermal expansion, which can affect precision fits. When specifying PP CNC machined parts, consider sustained load and deformation limits, operating temperature range, and whether reinforced or alternative materials like PVDF, POM-C or PEEK are needed for higher rigidity, tighter tolerances or harsher service conditions.

PVDF

PVDF is a premium choice for chemically demanding CNC machined parts such as valve bodies, pump components, manifolds, fittings, and semiconductor or pharma fluid-handling hardware where purity and long-term media resistance matter. Key advantages are excellent resistance to many acids, bases and oxidizers, good temperature capability, and better UV and weathering stability than PP, making it suitable for durable outdoor or process-exposed CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are higher cost than PP/PE, lower stiffness than metals, and potential brittleness or creep under sustained load depending on temperature and design. When specifying PVDF CNC milled parts or CNC turned parts, define the exact media and temperature profile, pressure and sealing concept, purity/compliance needs (for example semiconductor or food-contact), and allow for thermal expansion and long-term dimensional stability in precision fits.

PMMA

PMMA (acrylic) is widely used for transparent CNC machined parts such as covers, inspection windows, light guides, display components and optical-style housings where clarity and aesthetics matter. Advantages include excellent optical transparency, good surface appearance and good UV stability, making it a strong choice for visually critical CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are brittleness compared to polycarbonate, limited impact resistance, and moderate chemical resistance, especially to solvents, so it is less suited for harsh industrial cleaning or high-impact environments. When specifying PMMA CNC machined parts, consider impact and vibration loads, exposure to cleaning agents and oils, and whether polycarbonate is a better alternative when toughness and safety margins are the priority.

PET

PET is used for CNC machined parts such as precision insulating components, wear strips, sliders, spacers and mechanical parts where good dimensional stability and a clean surface are required. Advantages include low moisture absorption, good stiffness, good wear behavior and reliable tolerances, making PET suitable for functional CNC machined parts in automation and general engineering. Disadvantages are lower temperature capability and impact toughness than higher-end polymers, and chemical resistance is good but not universal, so media compatibility should be checked. When specifying PET CNC machined parts, consider sustained load and wear pairing, operating temperature range, and whether PETG, POM-C or PEEK is a better fit for higher toughness, lower friction or higher thermal demands.

PC

PC (polycarbonate) is a common choice for tough, transparent CNC machined parts like machine guards, protective covers, inspection windows, sensor housings and electrical enclosures where impact safety matters more than perfect optics. Key advantages are very high impact strength, good temperature capability and good clarity, making it ideal for durable CNC milled parts and functional CNC turned parts that must survive knocks and vibration. Disadvantages include scratch sensitivity, potential UV yellowing without stabilization, and susceptibility to stress cracking with certain cleaners, oils or solvents. When specifying PC CNC machined parts, define optical and surface requirements early (for example scratch-resistant coating or protective films), confirm chemical and cleaning compatibility, and choose UV-stabilized or flame-rated grades where the application demands it.

PVC-U

PVC-U (unplasticized PVC) is widely used for corrosion-resistant CNC machined parts such as pipe and duct components, flanges, fittings, valve parts, covers and insulating elements in water, chemical handling and building-services applications. Advantages include good resistance to many acids and bases, good electrical insulation, low water absorption and an attractive cost level for practical CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are limited temperature capability, reduced impact toughness in cold conditions, and weaker resistance to many solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons compared to PVDF or PP. When specifying PVC-U CNC machined parts, define the exact media and temperature range, check pressure and long-term creep requirements, and consider UV exposure and fire behavior depending on the installation environment.

Brass CuZn40Pb2 (2.0402, HPb59-3) is widely used for CNC machined parts like fittings, valve components, threaded parts, bushings and precision connectors, particularly for repeatable CNC turned parts with good surface quality. Advantages include good corrosion resistance in many typical service environments, good dimensional stability and a strong balance of performance and cost for functional brass CNC machined parts. Disadvantages are limited strength versus steels, potential dezincification risk in certain water chemistries, and lead content that can be restricted for potable-water, medical or compliance-driven applications. When specifying CuZn40Pb2 CNC machined parts, verify legal and customer requirements regarding lead, define the operating media and water chemistry, and consider dezincification-resistant or lead-free brass grades when long-term water exposure or hygiene standards are critical.

Brass CuZn40 – 2.0360 – H59/H62

Brass CuZn40 (2.0360, H59/H62) is commonly used for CNC machined parts such as decorative and functional fittings, covers, spacers, housings and general hardware where a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance and appearance is desired. Advantages include solid corrosion behavior in many indoor and water-related environments, good ductility and an attractive surface that suits visible CNC machined parts and assemblies. Disadvantages are lower strength than steels, potential dezincification in certain aggressive waters if the wrong variant is used, and typically less suitability for extreme wear or high contact stress without design measures. When specifying CuZn40 CNC machined parts, define the service environment and water chemistry, clarify whether a higher-strength brass or bronze is needed for load-bearing interfaces, and consider coating or alternative alloys if long-term aesthetics or corrosion stability are critical.

Brass CuSn8 – 2.1030 – QSn8-0.3

CuSn8 (2.1030, QSn8-0.3) is a tin bronze commonly used for CNC machined parts such as bushings, plain bearings, thrust washers, wear rings and sliding elements where reliable friction behavior and long service life are required. Advantages include very good wear resistance, good corrosion resistance and strong performance under mixed lubrication, making it a robust choice for load-bearing CNC machined parts in machinery. Disadvantages are higher material cost than standard brass, higher weight, and lower suitability for ultra-lightweight designs or cost-driven high-volume parts. When specifying CuSn8 CNC machined parts, define the load, speed and lubrication regime, check compatibility with the counterface material to avoid galling or excessive wear, and clarify whether tighter tribology requirements suggest alternative bronzes or self-lubricating bearing materials.

Brass CuSn12-C – 2.1052 – CuSn12

CuSn12 (2.1052, CuSn12-C) is a high-tin bronze used for heavy-duty CNC machined parts such as bearing bushes, thrust plates, wear rings, guide components and sliding elements that must handle high loads and harsh service conditions. Advantages include excellent wear resistance, strong seizure resistance and good corrosion behavior, making it a dependable option for long-life CNC machined parts in mechanical systems. Disadvantages are higher material cost and weight than brass, and the alloy is typically chosen for performance rather than minimal cost or minimal mass. When specifying CuSn12 CNC machined parts, define load and lubrication conditions, expected duty cycle and contamination, and consider whether alternative bronzes, self-lubricating materials or hardened steel pairings are better for extreme wear, start-stop motion or dry-running scenarios.

Varmebehandling hos InstaWerk brukes når CNC-bearbeidede deler må oppnå konkrete ytelseskrav – ofte bedre slitestyrke, høyere utmattingsstyrke eller stabilitet i mål over tid i drift. De mest vanlige alternativene er herding, spenningsgløding og nitrering (gass eller plasma), valgt ut fra om du trenger styrke i hele tverrsnittet eller en spesielt hard funksjonsoverflate.

Eksempel: 42CrMo4 (1.7227) + nitrering for aksler med lang levetid eller glideflater med høyt slitasjekrav.
Eksempel: 16MnCr5 (1.7131) + herding for drivverkslignende komponenter der både slitesterk overflate og seig kjerne er viktig.

Hardening

At InstaWerk, hardening is done by austenitizing the steel, quenching, and then tempering to reach a defined hardness and strength level for CNC machined parts. The upside is significantly improved strength and wear resistance, the downside is increased brittleness risk and potential distortion that must be tolerated in the design. Application-wise, define target hardness (and whether toughness or wear is the priority), and consider contact stresses, shock loads, and whether post-treatment finishing surfaces are function-critical.

Applicable materials:
– 42CrMo(S)4 – 4140 – 1.7227
– C45 – AISI 1045 – 1.0503

Denne kategorien hos InstaWerk handler om sporbarhet og renhet – særlig viktig når CNC-bearbeidede deler må kunne identifiseres sikkert, dokumenteres ved revisjon eller leveres fri for partikler og rester til montasje og drift. De vanligste tiltakene er lasermerking for permanente ID-er og ultralydvask for å fjerne spon, partikler og prosessrester før levering eller videre montering.

Eksempel: EN AW-6082 (3.2315) + lasermerking for serienummererte maskindeler, fiksturer eller effektiv reservedelsstyring.
Eksempel: AISI 316L (1.4404) + ultralydvask for komponenter til væskehåndtering, medisinske applikasjoner eller tetningsflater der renhet er et funksjonskrav.

Laser engraving

Laser engraving at InstaWerk uses a focused laser to create permanent markings such as serial numbers, data matrix codes, QR codes, or logos. Pros are permanence, precision, and traceability, cons are that contrast depends on material and surface condition and the mark can be visually noticeable on premium cosmetic faces. Define mark location, readability requirements, and whether the marking must remain visible after finishing or cleaning.

Applicable materials:

  • All materials listed above (contrast depends on material and surface)
Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning at InstaWerk uses high-frequency sound waves in a cleaning bath to remove fine particles, oils, and residues, including from complex geometries. Advantages are high cleanliness and good reach into small features, disadvantages are that it is a cleanliness step rather than a protective finish and the cleaning chemistry must match the material. Particularly relevant for sealing faces, fluid-handling parts, and hygiene-critical applications.

Applicable materials:

  • All materials listed above

Hvorfor InstaWerk?

Kostnadsbesparelser på opptil 35 %

InstaWerk kan redusere kostnadene med opptil 35 % ved å kombinere konkurransedyktig global sourcing med smart samling av ordrevolum og et eksklusivt leverandornettverk – i praksis ser kundene ofte rundt 19 % lavere priser sammenlignet med alternative leverandører for tilsvarende CNC-bearbeidede deler. Den største effekten kommer likevel ofte på indirekte kostnader: når krav og spesifikasjoner standardiseres, leverandørbasen konsolideres og hele flyten fra RFQ til PO strammes opp, kan innkjopsarbeidet reduseres med opptil 90 %. For mer modne oppsett kan innkjop nærme seg full automasjon via OCI API-integrasjon, som kutter manuelle berøringspunkter og gjennomløpstid samtidig som sporbarheten forbedres. Besparelsene går ikke på bekostning av kvalitet – delene styres av streng kvalitetskontroll med interne ZEISS CMM-målinger og ISO 9001-sertifiserte prosesser.

Rask bestilling og levering.

InstaWerk gjør innkjop raskere ved å gjøre RFQ-er om til umiddelbare tilbud og direkte bestillinger, slik at du slipper fram og tilbake som normalt bremser anskaffelser av CNC-bearbeidede deler. Ingeniører får rask tilbakemelding på gjennomførbarhet og tydelig prising tidlig, mens innkjøp får en standardisert og reviderbar bestillingsflyt som reduserer koordineringsarbeid. Ledetider starter fra 3 dager for mange CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler, noe som gjør det enklere å holde prototyper og oppskalering på plan. Ved hastebehov kan ekspresslevering avtales fra 24 timer på forespørsel, som gjør siste-liten-iterasjoner og kritiske reservedeler langt mer håndterbare.

Sertifisert kvalitet og streng kvalitetskontroll.

InstaWerk sikrer jevnt høy kvalitet i CNC-bearbeiding ved å kombinere ISO 9001-sertifiserte prosesser med strenge, standardiserte kvalitetsporter for CNC-deler. Et dedikert internt kvalitetsknutepunkt med ZEISS CMM-er og annet avansert måleutstyr gir pålitelig verifisering av kritiske dimensjoner på både CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler, inkludert trange toleranser og kontroll på detaljnivå. Leveransen støttes av et revidert og eksklusivt leverandornettverk, slik at kun kvalifiserte partnere produserer etter definerte standarder. I tillegg gir kontinuerlig, datadrevet oppfølging av leverandørytelser et ekstra kontrollag, som øker repeterbarheten mellom batcher og reduserer risikoen for både ingeniør- og innkjøpsteam.

Spesialister på CNC-bearbeiding.

InstaWerk konsentrerer seg om det som betyr mest for krevende hardware-team: CNC-bearbeiding – med tydelig fokus på CNC-fresing og CNC-dreiing – i stedet for å spre innsatsen på mange ulike prosesser. Denne spesialiseringen gir tett dialog med både ingeniører og innkjøp, og like tydelig samspill med leverandører, fordi alt tar utgangspunkt i praksisen rundt CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler. Innenfor dette området får du dyp faglig støtte og prosessforståelse som reduserer risiko knyttet til spesifikasjoner, toleransekjeder og funksjonskrav. Med 60+ materialer og 40+ etterbehandlinger er porteføljen samtidig svært fleksibel, men fortsatt optimalisert for resultater i CNC-bearbeiding.

Egenutviklet, selvhostet, driftet internt.

InstaWerk bygger på programvare som er egenutviklet, selvhostet og driftet internt, noe som gir direkte kontroll over hele dataflyten i bestillingsprosessen – fra CAD-opplasting til levering av CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler. Det gir mindre usikkerhet rundt hvor CAD-filer, tegninger og ordredata behandles, og gjør det enklere å etablere tydelig styring i arbeidsflytene til både ingeniør- og innkjøpsteam. Strenge mekanismer for tilgangsstyring og datakontroll reduserer eksponering og sikrer konsistent håndtering på tvers av prosjekter og involverte parter. Tilnærmingen er lagt opp for å møte krav i relevant personvern- og datalovgivning, og gir et robust fundament for virksomheter med skjerpede krav til konfidensialitet, compliance eller IP-beskyttelse.

Støttet av erfarne ingeniører fra start til slutt.

InstaWerk følger CNC-prosjekter fra start til slutt med egne ingeniør- og produksjonseksperter basert i Tyskland, slik at team kan spesifisere og anskaffe CNC-bearbeidede deler med høy trygghet. Erfaringen bygger på samarbeid med over 2 500 kunder på tvers av mange bransjer – fra hurtige utviklingsløp til regulerte miljøer med strenge krav til dokumentasjon. En dedikert supportingeniør er tilgjengelig før, under og etter produksjon, og sikrer kontinuitet gjennom tilbud, avklaringer i design, leverandørkoordinering og levering av CNC-freste og CNC-dreide deler. Resultatet er raskere beslutninger, færre misforståelser og lavere prosjektrisiko for både ingeniører og innkjøp.
