Below are frequently asked questions from our valued clients, covering material selection, machining capabilities, precision, lead time, and quotation processes.
We hope these answers will help you quickly understand our technical expertise and services. If you have any additional questions or specific requirements, please feel free to contact us or email us.
We are a manufacturer from Taiwan and specialize in precision machining of hard and brittle materials. Beside of one-stop custom processing of silicon carbide (SiC) and advanced ceramics, we also excel in high precision machining of highly hardened steels and engineering plastics. With proprietary technology, we achieve high-precision micro-hole drilling and ultra-fine pitch machining on various hard and brittle materials, with hole diameters down to 0.02 mm.
Please visit our Capability for details, or drop us a message Contact Us.
We machine advanced ceramic (e.g. SiC, AlN, ZrO2, Al2O3, MGC), engineering plastics (e.g. PEEK, PTFE, PPS, POM, ABS, PC), and more of other brittle materials (e.g. Quartz, Sapphire, glass). Please visit our Products for details.
We process a wide range of metals including stainless steel, aluminum alloys, copper, titanium, and various heat-treated high-hardness steels, e.g. tungsten carbide, power high speed steel (ASP23/30/60, CPM, Vanadis), tool steel (from 30HRC to 64HRC).

MGC (e.g. Macor) is glass-ceramic materials, containing mica crystals, allowing machining by milling or turning without sintering. It offers faster machining and shorter lead times, making it ideal for complex and small Qty custom parts. Structural ceramics (e.g. Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂) provide superior strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability, but costs and defective rate are higher to machine.
Advanced ceramics offer high dielectric strength, exceptional plasma etch resistance, and chemical inertness, which prevents metallic contamination in ultra-clean wafer environments.
For conductive metal, we can do CNC milling, Turning, Grinding, Wire EDM, Polishing, Surface treatment/ Coating etc.
For non-conductive materials, ceramics and engineering plastics, our process ways are CNC milling, Diamond grinding, Ultrasonic machining, Micro-hole drilling, Laser processing etc.
Structural ceramics become extremely hard after sintering, making them difficult to machine with conventional cutting tools, low tolerance for machining stress (low MRR- Material Removal Rate). Material removal requires diamond tooling with ultrasonic machining or precision grinding.
Accuracy depends on selection of material, dimension and processing method. Our current capabilities allow tolerances in ±0.001 to ±0.003 mm through precision grinding and polishing.
However, as ceramics are brittle and hard, tighter tolerances significantly increase machining time, defect rates, and overall cost. Design consultation with us at early stage is very effective to achieve the balance between manufacturing and costs.
Damages on structural ceramics are irreversible. Once a crack occurs in the material, any repairing as partial welding or fusion is not possible.

Before submitting an inquiry, please ensure all required info has been fully provided. The essential information we highly recommend includes:
Project details: what stage we are (development, prototyping, or mass production products), timeline of use, and application conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, corrosion resistance)
Generally, it takes about 7–20 working days for steel, brass, aluminum etc., excluding tungsten carbide). For Non-metal Materials as follows:
Ceramics & Hard Brittle Materials: Due to variations in material supply time, delivery can range from a minimum of 15 working days to 60–80 working days
Engineering Plastics: Approximately 8–20 working days
Compared to metals, precision ceramics require longer lead times and higher machining costs due to their brittle material properties, low tolerance for machining stress (low MRR- Material Removal Rate), and multi-stage precision processing requirements to ensure defect-free quality.
For the same part, the machining time for ceramics is typically at least 2 to 10 times longer than that of metal materials.
Yes. We will need your 3D drawings (STEP/IGS) and know your environment (such as operating temperature and chemical exposure). Our team will consult with you and recommend the most suitable material and manufacturing process.
