CNC machining online: Upload file, receive quotation, have component manufactured

Q: What does CNC machining online actually mean?

You upload your drawing or CAD file and receive a quote after a technical review. Once the order has been placed, the part is produced by a certified manufacturer - including quality assurance and punctual delivery.

Q: Which parts can I have manufactured online?

Almost all mechanical components - from milled parts made of aluminum to complex turned parts with threads or sheet metal parts with surface treatment. Assemblies are also possible.

Q: How secure is data transmission?

All data is transmitted in encrypted form, stored on German servers and only passed on to production partners in anonymized form. In addition, NDAs with all suppliers are standard.

Q: What does the CNC24 service cost?

The CNC24 service is fully included in the offer price - there are no additional platform or brokerage fees . Thanks to our international supplier network, targeted matching and technical manufacturing expertise, we are usually able to achieve better prices than local suppliers - with the same or higher quality. You benefit from economies of scale, intelligent sourcing and reliable supply chains , without additional purchasing costs.

Order technical components online – quickly, securely, precisely. CNC machining online considerably simplifies the classic procurement process for milled parts, turned parts and sheet metal parts: instead of a long search for suppliers, e-mail ping-pong and manual calculation, you will receive your quotation within 48 hours – including feasibility check, delivery date and price.

But how does it actually work? On this page you will find out how you can order CNC parts online in just a few steps – with full transparency, tested quality and personal support. Ideal for technical purchasers, design engineers and project managers who need efficiency and predictability.

Why CNC machining online?

Many companies face the same challenges:

Complex supplier research
Manual quotation processes
Bottlenecks in capacity and quality
Increasing requirements for documentation and traceability

With an online manufacturing platform such as CNC24, you can fully digitize this process – and save time, money and nerves in the process.

CNC machining online – explained step by step

How does CNC machining work online?

Upload CAD file or technical drawing
Automatic & manual feasibility check
Receive an individual offer within 48 hours
Start production via qualified partners
Quality inspection & documentation as required
Punctual delivery of tested CNC components

1. Upload CAD file & start request

You start the process by simply uploading your STEP, IGES, DXF or PDF files to our platform – without registration. You also enter the most important parameters:

Material (e.g. aluminum, stainless steel, POM)
Quantity & delivery time
Threads, surfaces, tolerances
Documentation requests (e.g. initial sample test report)

The data is transmitted in encrypted form in compliance with the GDPR and anonymized for suppliers if required. This keeps your know-how protected.

4. CNC production via a certified partner network

The simpler the component, the more efficient the machining. Complex shapes, deep pockets, organic free-form surfaces or a large number of clamping operations almost always lead to higher costs – often without fuThe order is placed digitally. Production is then carried out by a suitable supplier from our network – with selection criteria such as

Machinery (e.g. 5-axis CNC, sliding headstock automatic lathes)
Certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, EN 9100)
Capacity & specialization
Experience with comparable projects

Thanks to digital matching, you receive the most suitable manufacturing partner – without having to search for them yourself.

5. Quality assurance & documentation

Depending on the industry and component requirements, the following services can be integrated:

Coordinate measurements (3D-CMM, probe, optical)
Material certificates & proof of origin
Initial sample test reports (VDA, PPAP)
Surface certificates (anodizing, galvanizing, powder coating)

CNC24 operates its own measuring center, which guarantees the highest quality even for sensitive projects or safety applications.
