Have any kind of model or prototype created from metal, marble, granite, plastic or fiberglass – all under one roof. Be it parts of machinery, promotional models/prototypes or complex patterns, AARNE creates perfect models and prototypes using the latest technology and the best human talent. Our 5-axis CNC machining ensures that we achieve accuracy in design, and perfection in shape, however complex the model.

Together with CNCs, we use CAD software, namely DelCam PowerShape SolidWorks and PowerMill, to design a live 3D digital model of your prototype. Doing this will allow you to see how the prototype will look and function in real life. Reproducing prototypes from their 3D digital image ensures that the end product is exactly how you want it to be.

A computer numerical control (CNC) machine uses pre-programmed instructions to conduct functions such as drilling, milling, carving and moulding. It has a mini-computer attached to it, which directs the movement of its tools. We use 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machining to create highly accurate, high-quality models and prototypes. This significantly improves the manufacturing process, providing greater precision in models.

A 5-axis CNC is capable of working on five different axes simultaneously, which helps to give more depth and achieve better precision in final models. Another advantage of a CNC is that it works with a wide variety of materials including aluminium, bronze, marble, granite, gold, plastic and fibreglass. It gives you the freedom to have your model/prototype created out of almost any material, be it metal, stone or plastic.

Along with 5-axis CNC machining, we also use other processes to give a perfect shape and finish to your model. These include:

• 3D printing
• Vacuum forming
• GRP moulding
• Vacuum casting
• Laser cutting
• 3D scanning
• Acrylic and metal fabrication
• Paint finishing

Our goal is to achieve perfection in every model we create. That is why we work on every cut and every curve meticulously because, in the end, that’s how to achieve absolute perfection. We use only the highest quality material for every model/prototype we develop so that you end up with the best model possible.

Our CAD designers are experts in using CAD software including PowerShape, SolidWorks and PowerMill. Using it, they create a 3D image of your model from a sketch, photograph or by 3D scanning a physical model you want to reproduce. They can also design models solely from ideas. The digital model is created with the exact dimensions, colour, depth and size the actual physical model will have. After the 3D digital design of your model is complete, we send it to you for review. Any changes you wish to make are done at this stage.

We procure the highest quality material of your choice after which we use 3-axis, 4-axis or 5-axis CNC machining, 3D printing or another of our processes to produce your model. The process is only a few simple steps, but accurately designing the model requires skilled CAD designers, CNC engineers, artists and high-tech machinery. In the end, it pays off when we deliver a perfectly constructed and designed model that oozes style and class.

A CNC machine works at the required depth, speed and angle to mill, drill, cut, mould, carve and polish the material in specified places. We achieve high-quality and precision with our CNCs due to the talent of our CNC engineers. A 5-axis CNC in itself is a highly specialised piece of equipment that can help create complex models and designs.

Even large models/prototypes can seamlessly be built with 5-axis CNC machines. The final product that comes out of a CNC will have a clean design, super smooth finish and precise dimensions. If you need a model or a prototype made of any size or shape, feel free to call AARNE today. Our friendly staff will discuss your particular needs and help make your perfect model a reality in no time.
