Selecting a high-volume CNC machining partner is crucial for manufacturers seeking precision, consistency, and cost-efficiency at scale. Avanti Engineering, ISO 9001:2015–certified since 1972, offers decades of experience in high-volume CNC and screw machining—producing parts from 1,000 pieces to millions with tight tolerances and just-in-time delivery.
1️⃣ Define Your Project Requirements
- Volume & run size: Are you producing thousands or millions of parts? Avanti starts high-volume runs at 1,000 pieces
- Materials: Avanti machines steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, plastics, composites
- Tolerances & finishes: Capable of ±0.0005″ accuracy on precision-turned parts
2️⃣ Evaluate Supplier Capabilities
- Machining processes:
- Multi-spindle screw machines for rapid, consistent part production
- CNC Swiss and bar lathes for complex shapes and ultra-precision
- Multi-axis CNC turning & milling
- Equipment: ISO standards–calibrated machines, in-house tool room, auto bar loaders, bar chucking to 12″, up to 11-axis machining
- Secondary operations: Grinding, slotting, broaching, assembly, inventory management—the full suite to streamline production
3️⃣ Assess Quality and Certifications
- ISO 9001:2015 certified—ensuring consistent quality systems
- In-process inspections with NIST-certified measurement tools and PPAP compliance
- Rigorous material traceability, detailed reporting throughout production
4️⃣ Consider Lead Times & Capacity
- Lean, JIT manufacturing model supports inventory control and fast turnaround
- Efficiency through thousands to multi-million-piece production, keeping per-part costs low at scale
- Reduced setup overhead—high volumes amortize programming and fixturing time across runs
5️⃣ Analyze Cost & Value
- Cost per part drops dramatically with high-volume runs due to automation and lower labor per unit
- Minimized scrap and waste—automated precision ensures consistency and fewer defects
- In-house tooling capabilities reduce external supplier costs and lead times
6️⃣ Review Communication & Engineering Support
- Dedicated team of skilled engineers and machinists provides DFM (Design for Manufacturability) guidance
- Offers consulting and engineering services, ensuring alignment from concept to production
- Excellent responsiveness and ongoing support to handle design updates or volume changes seamlessly
