Precision CNC-Milled Parts for Mechanical Engineering and Industry
Our production is geared toward individual parts, small batches, and medium-sized production runs. We machine a variety of metals and engineering plastics and can combine CNC milling with other manufacturing processes such as CNC turning, gear cutting, grooving, and grinding.
This means that, upon request, you can receive not just a single machining step, but a part that is as fully finished as possible according to your drawing.
Have CNC-milled parts manufactured with precision
For industrial clients, it is particularly important that the component geometry, material, tolerances, and any necessary follow-up work are all in harmony.
Our CNC manufacturing is designed precisely for this purpose.
We manufacture custom parts based on drawings using machining centers from leading machine tool manufacturers and employ 3-, 4-, or 5-axis machining depending on the component.
Our capabilities are suitable for both simple milled parts and workpieces that require machining on multiple sides, at different angles, or across additional functional areas. I
Your benefits at a glance:
Individual parts, small-batch production, and medium-sized production runs
When it comes to special-purpose machines, new designs, or custom systems, the focus is often on a single component, a small quantity, or a recurring small production run.
Our machinery is designed to meet these needs.
Among other things, we handle:
Our Capabilities in CNC Milling
Depending on the workpiece, we can machine using 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining. This allows us to efficiently manufacture even more complex components with multiple machining surfaces.

3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling
In 3-axis milling, the tool moves along the three linear axes: X, Y, and Z. This process is suitable for numerous standard milling tasks, such as machining flat surfaces, pockets, contours, hole patterns, and grooves. In addition, 3-axis milling can also be used to easily produce simple prismatic components.
4-Axis Milling
An additional axis expands machining capabilities and can enable the machining of multiple sides of a workpiece within a single clamping setup. This is particularly useful for components that require machining on different peripheral or side surfaces.
5-Axis Milling
Our production facility also offers 5-axis machining capabilities. Depending on the component, this allows for the realization of more complex geometries and the machining of multiple surfaces in a coordinated manufacturing process.
What materials can we CNC mill?
The materials we process include, in particular:
We machine various types of steel and tool steel in accordance with the technical requirements of each workpiece.
Stainless Steel
We also machine stainless steel parts.
Aluminum
Aluminum and various aluminum alloys can be used for numerous applications in mechanical engineering and drive technology.
Brass
We also machine brass on our CNC machines.
Castings
Workpieces made of cast materials can also be milled.
Engineering Plastics
In addition to metallic materials, we process various plastics, including, for example, POM, PEEK, and PA.
CNC Milling and Other Machining Services from a Single Source
Dittler GmbH therefore combines different manufacturing processes within a single company.
For you, this means: Instead of requesting just a single milling operation, you can provide us with the specifications for the finished part as shown in the drawing.
We will then determine which machining steps can be incorporated into our manufacturing process.
If a component requires gear teeth in addition to milled functional surfaces, the necessary machining steps can be combined accordingly.
For gear cutting, options such as gear hobbing and gear shaping are available, among others.
These include, for example:
Do you need more than just milling?
This will allow us to assess all manufacturing requirements.
CNC-Milled Parts for Mechanical Engineering and Industry
Typical requirements arise, for example, in the following areas:
Especially for more complex parts based on drawings, it may be advisable to choose a manufacturing partner that offers more than just CNC milling.
If your part also needs to be turned, gear-cut, slotted, or ground, multiple manufacturing steps can be incorporated into a coordinated process.
Quality Assurance for Precision CNC-Milled Parts
Dittler GmbH’s quality management system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
We have a physically separate measuring room for in-process and final inspections. There, we inspect components using, among other tools, a 3-coordinate measuring machine from Zeiss. This enables us to verify the 3D dimensional accuracy of workpieces and support ongoing quality control.
We can also prepare measurement reports and initial sample inspection reports according to your specifications.
Reproducible quality is a central component of our manufacturing process, particularly for small-batch production and recurring manufacturing orders.

Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Milling
What is CNC milling?
CNC milling is a machining process in which a rotating tool removes material from the workpiece. The machine's movements are controlled by a computer, allowing it to produce various surfaces, contours, holes, and other geometric shapes.
Does Dittler manufacture CNC-milled parts based on drawings?
Yes. We manufacture custom CNC-milled parts based on technical drawings and specifications. To submit an inquiry, please send us your drawing or existing CAD data.
What sizes can be machined using CNC milling?
Our specified maximum machining travel ranges are 1,000 mm in the X direction, 500 mm in the Y direction, and 500 mm in the Z direction. The maximum part weight is 200 kg. Actual manufacturability also depends on the part geometry and clamping method.
Does Dittler offer 5-axis milling machines?
Yes. We have 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machines available for CNC machining. The drawing is used to determine which machining method is appropriate for a specific part.
Is it possible to produce individual CNC-milled parts?
Yes. Our manufacturing is geared toward individual parts, small batches, and medium batch sizes. We can also provide prototypes and pre-production runs.
What materials can be CNC-milled?
Among other materials, we machine steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, brass, castings, and engineering plastics such as POM, PEEK, and PA.
