Type II anodizing (clear or colored, 5–25 μm film, Ra 0.4–0.8 μm) and Type III hardcoat anodizing (25–50 μm film, Ra 0.4–1.6 μm, Vickers hardness 400–600 HV) for aluminum production parts. Salt spray resistance: 336+ hours (Type III). Applied to aluminum 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 CNC and sheet metal production parts.
Thermosetting polyester powder coat, 60–120 μm film thickness, applied electrostatically and cured at 180–200°C. RAL and Pantone color matching available. Salt spray resistance: 500–1,000 hours. Suitable for aluminum, steel, and stainless steel production parts. Matte, satin, and gloss finishes available (gloss: 85+ GU at 60°).
Glass bead or aluminum oxide blasting produces uniform matte finish at Ra 1.6–3.2 μm. Used as a pre-treatment before anodizing or painting, or as a standalone cosmetic finish. Removes machining marks and produces consistent visual texture across production batches.
Nickel plating (5–25 μm, Vickers hardness 150–500 HV), chrome plating (decorative: 0.25–0.5 μm, hard chrome: 25–250 μm), and zinc plating (8–25 μm, 72-hour salt spray minimum) for steel and copper alloy production parts. Electroless nickel plating (25 μm, uniform on complex geometries) also available.

High-Volume Production Frequently Asked Questions
What Volume Qualifies as High-Volume Production at XC Machining?
XC Machining defines high-volume production as 500+ units per order or 5,000+ units per year per part number. For injection molding, high-volume typically starts at 1,000 units where multi-cavity steel tooling amortization reduces per-part cost below CNC machining. For CNC machining, high-volume production optimization (dedicated fixtures, batch scheduling) activates at 500+ identical parts per order.
How Does XC Machining Maintain Consistent Quality Across High-Volume Production Runs?
XC Machining applies three quality layers: (1) first article inspection (FAI) — CMM measurement of 3–5 parts against all drawing dimensions before production start, (2) in-process SPC — key dimensions charted every 50 CNC parts or 100 injection molding shots, (3) outgoing inspection — dimensional report and Certificate of Conformance (CoC) with every shipment.
What Is the Lead Time for High-Volume Production Orders at XC Machining?
Lead times: CNC machining production runs — 7–15 business days (first order), 5–10 business days (reorders). Injection molding — 25–35 business days for new steel mold + first production, 3–7 business days for reorders from existing tooling. Sheet metal — 5–10 business days first order, 3–7 business days reorders. DFM review within 12 hours of CAD upload.
What Is the Cost Advantage of High-Volume Production Over Prototyping at XC Machining?
Per-part cost decreases with volume due to: (1) fixture and setup cost amortized across more parts, (2) multi-cavity injection molds (4–16 cavity) reducing cycle time cost per part by 60–75%, (3) bulk material purchasing reducing material cost 10–25%, and (4) batch shipping reducing per-part freight cost. Injection molding becomes cost-competitive with CNC at 1,000+ units.
Does XC Machining Offer Material Traceability for High-Volume Production Parts?
Yes. Every high-volume production batch at XC Machining is traceable by lot number to a material certificate — mill certificate (CNC and sheet metal metals) or resin Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for injection molded parts. Material records are retained for 3 years and available on request f
Can XC Machining Scale Production from Prototype to High Volume Without Changing Suppliers?
Yes. XC Machining supports the full product development lifecycle: CNC machined or 3D printed prototypes → vacuum cast bridge production (15–200 units) → aluminum mold injection molding (200–5,000 units, 15-day tooling) → steel mold injection molding (5,000–500,000+ units, 25–35 day tooling). Because XC Machining performs all stages in-house, design files, DFM data, and quality records transfer seamlessly — no re-qualification required.
