At our 30,000-foot state-of-the-art, climate-controlled facility, we utilize the latest high-speed Citizen Swiss screw machines to produce only the best custom machine parts.

## Our Custom CNC Part Offerings

Our Haas CNC machining centers are ideal for working with steel, aluminum, brass, carbon steel, and other specialty materials. We can provide a number of custom finishing services, such as full anodizing, carbon blacking, hard coating for aluminum custom machined parts, and electrogalvanizing for steels and ferric materials.

Our team also offers a variety of other [machining services](https://www.ardelengineering.com/cnc-vertical-horizontal-milling) to take your unique project all the way from conception to realization with help from our expert engineers. In addition to providing conventional milling, drilling, turning, and sawing, we are well-equipped for the specialty grinding and part-marking processes required by many modern applications. And, if needed, our certified partners can provide heat treating, welding, plating, and painting services before final inspection, assembly, and packaging. This comprehensive package of services helps ensure cost certainty for all of our clients, as well as quality control that competitors simply can’t match.

Our cutting-edge [Swiss screw machines](https://www.ardelengineering.com/swiss-screw-machining) are well-suited to fabricating difficult pieces, such as long parts, complex parts with a variety of functions in a single setup, and high-accuracy parts with strict tolerance requirements. For these high-precision components, Ardel utilizes [electrical discharge machining (EDM)](https://www.ardelengineering.com/wire-edm). EDM makes use of a thin, electrically charged wire to erode small volumes of material in order to create the desired shape. The ability to cut fine part features into hardened alloys makes EDM particularly useful for fixtures, inspection gauges, and other profile or contour work. 

Our advanced turning centers allow for rapid delivery of prototypes, flexible order quantities, reduced tooling costs, and tighter tolerances than traditional machine work, all backed by our skilled engineers. In addition to our standard vertical milling machines, we work with horizontal milling centers for larger runs; this equipment can operate at higher speeds and allows us to optimize for cost-efficiency when needed.

### Common CNC Parts and Applications

Beyond basic custom metal components, Ardel also machines specialty plastic parts for critical applications in the medical and telecommunications industries. For [medical device machining](https://www.ardelengineering.com/medical), which require the utmost precision and a painstaking design process, we can ensure optimal performance, longevity, and safety, providing peace of mind for practitioners and patients alike.

Our expert team has produced surgical and dental instruments, anesthetic and therapy components, diagnostic devices, catheters, mandrels, orthopedic, cardiac implants, and other implantable devices. We’ve also produced custom CNC parts for cable and satellite companies, as well as customers in the optics industry.

### More About Ardel

Committed to quality in everything we do, our processes are ISO 9001:2015 certified. We also have a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and can serve the military, defense, and [aerospace industries](https://www.ardelengineering.com/aircraft-aerospace). Adhering to the principles of Six Sigma, lights out manufacturing, and lean manufacturing, Ardel ensures optimal quality and efficiency throughout all stages of the production process.

## From the Blog

- ### [How Milling Strategy Changes with the Material: Vertical vs. Horizontal Approaches](https://www.ardelengineering.com/blog/vertical-and-horizontal-milling-for-different-materials)
  
  Not all materials behave the same under a cutting tool. Ardel Engineering tailors our machining approach to the material we’re working with, and that starts with choosing the right milling machine. Whether we’re working with metals or plastics, we use both vertical and horizontal milling to bring out the best in every part.
