CNC Turning:
From Raw Material
to Finished Component
CNC turning, alongside CNC milling and wire EDM, forms the beating heart of our activities. From our facility in Lierde, we process raw materials and pre-machined parts into precise, reproducible components for machine builders, high-tech companies, and industrial OEMs.
With a modern mill-turn machine fleet and advanced digitalization, we combine top accuracy with short lead times: from prototype to series production.
Our 3-axis and 5-axis turning capabilities
Innomatix specializes in mill-turn: combined turning and milling in a single setup. Here are a few examples of our capabilities:
Materials we turn
At Innomatix, we turn a wide range of metals and technical plastics:
Why CNC turning at Innomatix?
Advanced mill-turn machine fleet
We operate modern turning machines with:
- large turning diameters and machining lengths
- driven tools for combined turning and milling
- multi-axis machining in a single setup
- Robotization
This reduces the number of setups, improves dimensional accuracy, and shortens lead times.
End-to-end digitalization
At Innomatix, we work as digitally as possible:
- CAD/CAM software for programming complex parts
- virtual simulations of the operations before we run the machine
- standardized cutting parameters and tool libraries
Result: less setup time, fewer errors, and stable, predictable quality—from the first to the last part.
Co-engineering for design and manufacturability
We go beyond “drawing in, part out”. Our engineers think along about:
- manufacturability of your design
- optimizations in tolerances, material selection and machining strategy
- cost-efficient solutions for series production
This ensures a part that is not only correct, but also scalable and cost-effective.
Quality and traceability
We measure critical dimensions during and after production. Where required, we use 3D measurements and additional testing methods. Every project comes with clear traceability—from material certificates to measurement reports.
Whether you want to optimize an existing part, industrialize a new design, or are looking for a partner for recurring series production, Innomatix is happy to support you from the very first drawing.

Frequently asked questions about CNC turning at Innomatix
How does a CNC turning project at Innomatix look like?
a. Analysis of design and requirements
You share your 2D drawing or 3D model with us, along with tolerances, quantities and any standards. We analyze the manufacturability and give you the necessary feedback.
b. Digital preparation
Our programmers convert your design into a CNC program:
- modeling and CAD/CAM programming
- simulation of the complete machining process
- selection of tools and fixturing/clamping
This ensures a smooth and safe transition to the machine.
c. First article and approval
For new parts, we usually produce a first article first. It is measured precisely and validated together with you. Only then do we start series production.
- Series production and quality control
Series production runs fully according to the approved process. We perform intermediate measurements and record results, so you can count on consistent quality and full transparency.
d. Finishing, packaging and delivery
Upon request, we provide additional steps such as deburring, cleaning (degreasing), surface treatment, or (sub)assembly. Parts are packaged safely and delivered as agreed.
What are typical parts that Innomatix can turn?
Typical components we machine include:
- shafts, spindle shafts
- bushings, nipples, couplings
- flanges, spacers and adapters
- more complex turned-milled parts with both round and prismatic work
Which industries does Innomatix serve?
At Innomatix, we turn fine mechanical parts for, among others:
- machine building and automation
- high-tech and mechatronics
- energy and drive technology
- food and packaging industry
- precision and prototype construction
When is CNC turning the best choice?
CNC turning is typically the right choice when:
- your part is round or cylindrical
- high requirements apply to roundness, concentricity and tolerance on diameters (fits)
- you need small to medium-sized series with stable quality
- you want to combine turning and milling operations in one setup
- you want to make the step from prototype to series production
For very complex 3D shapes or large flat components, we sometimes propose a combination with CNC milling, 5-axis milling, or other processes.
What is the advantage of CNC turning at Innomatix compared to classic turning?
At Innomatix we use CNC-controlled turning and turning-milling machines. That means:
- higher repeatability and accuracy
- more complex parts in a single setup
- shorter lead times thanks to digital preparation
For customers, this translates into less risk, fewer reworkings and a more reliable process.
Can Innomatix also turn prototypes or one-off parts?
Yes. Innomatix produces prototypes and one-offs as well as series. Thanks to our CAD/CAM programming, we can switch quickly between different parts without compromising quality.
What information does Innomatix need for a quote?
For a targeted quotation, we prefer to receive:
- 2D drawing and/or 3D model
- material type and any specifications
- required tolerances and finishing
- quantities (trial series and possibly annual volume)
- application or industry context
The more complete your input, the faster we can provide a realistic price and lead time.
Can Innomatix deliver turned parts fully finished?
Yes. In addition to CNC turning, Innomatix can also organize additional steps:
- milling, drilling and threading
- deburring and cleaning
- surface treatment via permanent partners
- (sub)assembly of mechanical components
