| Standard finishes | Polishing, plating, lacquer |
Values are typical reference data and may vary with grade, heat treatment, and part geometry. Tell us your needs and we will confirm exact specs.
Why Brass
Cuts cleanly and fast. Lower cost per part than harder metals.
Stands up to water and many chemicals. Common in plumbing.
Good bearing and sliding behavior without extra lube.
A warm, gold-like finish that needs little decoration.
Material Options
We stock common grades. Tell us your need and we will pick the right one.
The easiest to machine. Best for fast, high-volume parts.
Stronger and more ductile. Good for forming and bending.
A low-cost option for plates and general parts.
How It Works
From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.
Upload your STEP or STL file and drawings. Get a clear, factory-direct quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.
Our engineers check wall thickness, tolerances, and features. We suggest changes that save cost and improve quality.
We cut your part from a solid block with mills and lathes in our machine shop.
We remove burrs, then apply the finish you need, such as polishing or plating.
We measure and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide with full tracking.
Applications
Plumbing and fluid components that seal well.
Conductive terminals and contacts.
Knobs, trim, and ornaments with a premium look.
Musical and precision parts that need fine detail.
Design Tips
New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.
Keep walls thick enough to stay rigid. Thin areas can vibrate and warp during cutting.
Tight tolerances cost more. Only specify them where the function needs them.
Small chamfers and radii help tools last longer and parts look cleaner.
Finishes
The natural milled surface. Good for most functional parts.
A smoother, brighter surface for looks or low friction.
Nickel, chrome, or other coatings for corrosion or wear protection.
A chemical treatment that boosts corrosion resistance on some metals.
Why YiguProto
We are a dedicated factory for cnc machining. Every file is reviewed by engineers before production. Every part is inspected before shipping. Your designs stay private with us.
