What Is CNC Milling?
CNC milling is a way to cut metal and plastic into exact shapes. A computer controls spinning tools that remove material from a solid block. This makes your part match your design file perfectly. Lakewood teams use our CNC milling for brackets, enclosures, housings, and custom fixtures.

CNC Milling Capabilities for Lakewood Teams
Lakewood is known for Denver West aerospace corridor with Lockheed Martin Space and Federal Center government facilities. We handle the precision machining these industries demand.
3-Axis Milling
Flat surfaces, pockets, slots, and drilled holes. Works great for brackets, mounting plates, enclosures, and any part with features on one side.
Most common4-Axis Milling
Parts that need cuts on multiple sides without removing them from the machine. Faster delivery and lower cost for angled or wrapped features.
Multi-side access5-Axis Milling
Complex curves, undercuts, and sculpted surfaces. Our 5-axis machines cut from almost any angle. Fewer setups, tighter tolerances.
±0.0005" capableLarge Format Milling
Parts up to 24" x 18" x 12". Oversized brackets, plates, and housings with the same precision as smaller parts.
