Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can ARC Studio cut and machine using the CNC router?
Our in-house CNC router is capable of working with a wide range of materials including aluminium, various polymers, plywood, hardwood, and composite materials. This versatility makes it suitable for creating durable enclosures, mounting components, custom jigs, and mechanical parts across sectors like environmental monitoring, agriculture, and medical technology.
How accurate is your CNC machining for functional prototypes and production components?
We operate a 1200 x 1200mm Ultimate Bee CNC router with a machining tolerance of ±0.1mm. This level of precision ensures excellent accuracy for most prototyping and functional part applications — especially where tight mechanical fits, alignment, or structural integrity are essential. It's an ideal tool for preparing parts ahead of casting, fabrication, or user trials.
Is CNC machining at ARC Studio suitable for producing electromagnetic (EM) compatible housings?
Yes — CNC machining is frequently used to produce aluminium parts that offer EM shielding or compatibility for sensitive electronics. This is particularly useful in applications where signal interference or device isolation is a concern, such as clinical or wildlife monitoring equipment.
Can you help with both the design and machining stages of a custom metalwork project?
Absolutely. At ARC Studio, we support projects end-to-end — from CAD design through to final CNC machining. We can assist with optimising designs for manufacturability, selecting appropriate materials, and machining parts with speed and precision. Whether you're prototyping a rugged housing or creating custom test rigs, we offer a fully integrated service under one roof.
