An alloy with a host of unique properties, titanium is often an optimal choice for CNC machined parts with specialized applications. Titanium has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio and is 40% lighter than steel while being only 5% weaker. This makes it perfect for high-tech industries like aerospace, automotive, medical technology and energy. The titanium machining process involves milling down a raw piece of metal into a desired part or component.
Custom Titanium parts
We offer a complete titanium CNC machining service and can produce custom titanium parts in Titanium Grade 1, Titanium Grade 2 and Titanium Grade 5. Titanium parts are corrosion resistant, quite durable, have a high melting point and are very versatile. Our network of manufacturing partners includes almost every kind of CNC mill and turning center, and is able to machine whatever you need, from simple, ‘as-machined’ workholdings to complex, organic geometries with tight tolerances. When creating titanium machined parts with Protolabs Network, you can apply up to 6 different post-processing/surface finishing options including bead blasting, powder coating, smooth machining and polishing.

Frequently asked questions
How to CNC titanium?
You can CNC machine your titanium parts by uploading your CAD (.STL) files onto our platform and receiving a quote. You can then submit your parts for production and you will receive them within the quoted lead time.
How strong is CNC milled titanium?
Titanium has very high strength and a great strength-to-weight ratio. In fact it is only 5% less strong than steel but is 40% lighter making it great for high tech industries such as aerospace, automotive and energy.
How much does CNC machining titanium cost?
The cost of CNC machining titanium depends on the complexity and size of the part and the type of titanium that is used. These variables will affect the type of machine that is required, the time it takes to produce the part, and the cost of the raw material.
We use machine learning algorithms to calculate the exact cost of any machinable part directly from a CAD file, based on millions of CNC machining orders we’ve previously processed. Simply upload a CAD file to generate a quote: Get an instant CNC machining quote.
