CNC milling
Dan Vals has extensive experience in the working and surface treatment of metals. We produce specialised solutions for companies’ specific projects, and all our constructions live up to exacting precision and quality requirements.
We have a modern machine park that is equipped with machinery like milling machines and the latest and best quality tooling technology for CNC milling. Our customers can rest assured that the process is subject to quality control from start to finish.
WHICH LINES OF BUSINESS BENEFIT FROM CNC MILLING?
Many lines of business benefit from CNC milling, but some company types benefit more from CNC milling than others. Examples of these companies include pharmaceutical companies, the dental care sector, airlines, the automobile industry, maritime companies, and design companies can benefit from CNC milling.
A lot of these companies do not have the facilities and equipment to mill a lot of objects. They therefore benefit from outsourcing certain parts of the production to other companies. We work together with companies within sectors such as the maritime field, industrial companies, construction, transportation, and wind energy.
If you need CNC milling but your company doesn’t operate within one of the sectors mentioned above, it’s no problem. It’s very likely that we can help you with CNC milling of exactly the objects you need.
Computer-controlled technology
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. It is a computer-controlled technology that is used extensively when working metal. Machining is an expression of the processing method that involves the production of items with CNC milling or CNC turning.
CNC milling is done by placing the item in a clamping tool where rotating cutters cut into the surface and remove material. Our cutters are extremely flexible and can machine items in both horizontal and vertical axes to produce contour changes, including holes and threads.
CNC milling for surfaces
The method is used primarily for treating surfaces and is particularly well-suited to items with curved or flat surfaces. Dan Vals has experience in milling a number of different types of metal, such as iron, aluminium, steel and stainless steel. In general, we can mill all the dimensions you may require for your project.
If, for example, you need to produce rounded items or to repair an item, we would recommend CNC turning instead. If you are in doubt about which method is best suited for your project, please contact us by phone or email.

CNC milling is cheaper and more efficient
Computer technology offers a highly efficient and cost-saving method for all parties as it is a fully automated process. This means that the machines can produce many uniform and complex parts quickly and to high standards of precision. This ensures a low error rate, which ultimately ensures that a production run can be delivered on time.
If, contrary to expectations, a customer receives an incorrectly produced item, this is because the machine was not properly set up for the task before it commenced. Of course, we keep a close eye on this.
WHICH MATERIALS CAN BE CNC MILLED?
In general, all materials can be CNC milled. However, we primarily work with metal. Other materials such as composite materials, plastic and wood can also be CNC milled. In short, there are many opportunities for CNC milling for your company.
If you would like to have a specific material CNC milled but don’t know if it’s something which is optimal to mill on a CNC machine, you’re more than welcome to contact us. Then we will tell you whether your object can be CNC milled or not. If it can be milled, we can also tell you how it can be CNC milled in the best way. For example, if you would like to CNC mill soft plastic objects, it is likely that we will suggest another processing method instead.
Just because a material can be milled on a CNC machine, it is not certain that it’s the most optimal solution. We can e.g. suggest CNC turning instead, or we can have a talk with you about your needs and requests, whereupon we can find the most optimal solution for you.
WHICH ADVANTAGES DOES CNC MILLING HAVE?
There are many advantages to CNC milling. One clear advantage is that it is cheaper and quicker to mill objects with a machine. However, it might be necessary to have a certain minimum number of objects if it should be financially feasible to mill them on a CNC machine.
If you just need to mill a single object, it might be more beneficial to do it manually. However, there might be advantages to choosing CNC milling anyway, even though it will be more expensive per object, if you only have a few that need to be milled. The machine has to be adjusted, and it has to “get to know” the object before it can mill it.
When the machine has been adjusted, the work is quick. There’s furthermore a high degree of accuracy. Therefore, objects milled on a CNC machine will be identical.
Clear advantages of CNC milling include, among others:
- Quick and effective
- High degree of precision
- Lower costs when using machines compared to manual work (especially for large quantities)
- Opportunity to mill complex objects
OUR COMPANY KEEPS UP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE FIELD OF METAL WORKING
At Dan Vals A/S, we strive to be climate conscious, and we are also eager to make a positive difference to our customers. We are an industrial company that keeps up with the development within our field. That means that we use machines to optimise our work processes, and that requires investing in the upskilling of our employees. Our skilled employees are continuously trained in using new equipment. You can therefore always rely on the fact that our talented CNC operators know how the machines work, how they are operated, and which objects that can be CNC milled and how.
We are specialised in metal working, and we use machines and tools for many different work tasks. Read more about who we are.
We accommodate your wishes
We focus on quality craftsmanship and a professional assessment of individual cases. We want to meet your needs and requirements and to give you a realistic assessment of your options. Basically, no project is too big or too problematic, but the materials themselves can have structural limitations that are pivotal to their viability.
Contact us for a no-strings chat about your options. We are always ready to provide advice!
Why you should choose Dan Vals
We have skilled and committed employees who never compromise on quality. Dan Vals offers the best custom solutions at the best prices, which means we always have satisfied customers who come back to us with their next project. We have become a preferred partner in the major industries, and we are proud to have delivered aesthetic and robust constructions to urban spaces, the health and entertainments sector and others.
