Custom CNC Titanium Parts to Your Drawing
Align the controlled drawing or model, titanium Grade or UNS, starting-material form, datums and GD&T, threads, surface, secondary processes, inspection evidence and quantity before comparing quotations.
Product definitionAuthority, revision and precedence
Material basisGrade, UNS, form and condition
Critical featuresDatums, GD&T, threads and surfaces
Acceptance evidenceMethod, sampling and report
Before requesting a quote: identify the controlling revision, resolve model/drawing conflicts, mark critical interfaces, and state the exact material, process, inspection, documentation and change-control scope. “Precision titanium part” is not an acceptance criterion.

A note on the numbers above
The accuracy figures published by machine builders are positioning accuracies of the machine, not the tolerance achievable on your part. Achievable part tolerance depends on geometry, fixturing, material condition and inspection method, and we quote it against your drawing — not against a machine spec sheet.
CNC Titanium Part Types
Start with Geometry, Interfaces and Acceptance
These groups organize the review. The approved product definition and order-specific requirements—not the card name—control the delivered part.
CNC Turned Titanium Parts
Specify: Diameter · Runout · Bores · Grooves · Threads
Rotational components reviewed for datum axis, concentric relationships, fits, thread definition, surface and inspection access.
Brackets & Structural Components
Specify: Load path · Interfaces · Datums · Edge condition
Mounting and structural parts controlled by the approved product definition rather than an application label or generic precision claim.
Complex-Geometry Titanium Parts
Specify: Model authority · Setups · Tool access · Inspection plan
Multi-surface components reviewed for product-definition completeness, process sequence, workholding, distortion and measurable acceptance.
Discs, Plates & Housings
Specify: Flatness · Thickness · Bores · Sealing faces
Plate-derived and housing geometries reviewed with starting stock, datum structure, distortion risk, surfaces and assembly interfaces.
Shafts, Sleeves & Pins
Specify: Fits · Straightness · Runout · Surface · Ends
Slender or cylindrical parts reviewed for stock route, workholding, deflection, mating interfaces, handling and inspection method.
Threaded Titanium Components
Specify: Thread system · Class · Gauge · Engagement · Finish
External and internal threads defined by standard, size, pitch, class, handedness, depth, runout, inspection and any anti-galling requirement.
Valve & Flow-Control Components
Specify: Pressure boundary · Passage · Seat · Cleanliness
Fluid components reviewed against the buyer's drawing, service, interfaces, surface, cleaning, test and documentation requirements.
All parts are machined and inspected in our own facility. Feasibility, tolerance capability and acceptance scope are confirmed against the controlled drawing for each part.
Supply Scope & Qualification
One Order Basis for Engineering, Production and Inspection
A reliable order connects six control groups. Each requirement should have an authority, revision, acceptance method and responsible party.
Drawing & model
File authority, revision, units, precedence and approved deviations.
Material & raw form
Grade/UNS, specification, condition, stock form and traceability.
Datums & critical features
GD&T, fits, interfaces, threads, holes and functional priorities.
Surface & edges
Texture, lay, finish, burrs, edge breaks, cleanliness and protection.
Process boundary
Machining, heat treatment, coating, cleaning and subcontract control.
Evidence & release
Method, sampling, FAI, reports, certificates, labels and packing.
Standards Map
Separate Raw Material from Finished-Part Control
| Reference | What it can control | What it does not replace |
|---|---|---|
| ASME Y14.5 or ISO 1101 | An invoked dimensioning and geometrical-tolerancing language and interpretation basis. | Part-specific dimensions, characteristics, acceptance methods or contract precedence. |
| ASTM B348/B348M | Titanium and titanium-alloy bar and billet within the ordered revision and scope. | Finished-part geometry, threads, surface, machining or final inspection. |
| ASTM B265 | Titanium and titanium-alloy strip, sheet and plate within its scope. | Machined housing, bracket or plate-component conformity. |
| ASTM B381 | Titanium and titanium-alloy forgings within its scope. | The machined configuration, customer qualification or finished-part approval. |
Always state the required revision and any customer or project additions. The current edition is not automatically the contract edition unless the order says so.
Process Review
From Controlled Input to Traceable Release
The actual route is confirmed after drawing, material, quantity and acceptance review. Equipment names alone do not establish capability.
01
Contract Review
Freeze authority, revision, quantity, critical features, exceptions and evidence.
02
Material & Route
Select the ordered Grade, starting form, condition, setups and controlled outside processes.
03
Machining & Control
Manage workholding, datum transfer, critical features, tool access, heat and distortion.
04
Inspection & Release
Use suitable methods, link results to the part/lot, resolve deviations and protect interfaces.
Applications
Review the Part Inside Its Actual Assembly
An industry label is only context. Customer drawings, project specifications and approval requirements still control the part.
Chemical & Process Equipment
Control service media, interfaces, sealing surfaces, cleanliness and order-specific material and inspection requirements.

Marine & Offshore Equipment
Define seawater or service exposure, loads, mating materials, crevice interfaces, fasteners, inspection and maintenance boundary.

- ✓ Resolve model, drawing, specification and purchase-order conflicts.
- ✓ Match every critical characteristic to a suitable inspection method.
- ✓ Define external processes, certificates and approval responsibility.
- ✓ Compare quotations only after exceptions and evidence are aligned.
Do not release the PO with only:
- “Grade 5 precision part”
- A model with no authority or tolerance basis
- A material certificate as the only acceptance evidence
- “CMM inspection” with no characteristic, method or report scope
- An application label treated as customer or regulatory approval
FAQ
CNC Titanium Parts Purchasing Questions
What information is needed to quote CNC titanium parts?
Send the controlled drawing and model, revision, material Grade or UNS, starting-material form and specification, quantity, critical dimensions and GD&T, threads, surface and edge requirements, secondary processes, inspection evidence, packaging and delivery basis.
Does a 3D model replace a 2D drawing?
Only when the order states that the model is the authority and defines how dimensions, tolerances, notes, surface requirements and revisions are controlled. If both are supplied, the order should define precedence and resolve conflicts before production.
Can one general tolerance be applied to the entire part?
A drawing may invoke general tolerances, but critical interfaces, datum-related controls, threads, surface texture and special characteristics still require explicit requirements. Blanket tight tolerances can add cost without improving function.
Is a material certificate enough to accept a finished machined part?
No. A material certificate supports raw-material identity and properties within its scope. Finished-part conformity also depends on the approved product definition, process controls, dimensional and feature inspection, secondary-process evidence and traceability.
Does CMM inspection prove every feature is acceptable?
No. The inspection method must suit the feature, tolerance, accessibility and required uncertainty. Threads, surface texture, internal geometry and special processes may require other methods and separate evidence.
Can aerospace or medical titanium parts be ordered by application name alone?
No. Application labels do not establish customer approval, regulatory compliance or part qualification. The buyer must provide the applicable drawing, material, process, inspection, documentation and approval requirements.
