What we make
Six processes for metal, plastic and wood. The right one is chosen by the shape of the part.
Milling
Housings, plates, flanges and complex shapes in metal and plastic, when the shape comes from a 3D model or a drawing.
Turning
Turning for shafts, axles, bushings and other round parts, with bores and steps, from a drawing or a file.
Sheet metal bending
Brackets, boxes and enclosures from flat sheet: the outline is cut from a DXF, then the sheet is bent along the lines on the drawing.
Plasma cutting
Plasma cutting of steel plate along a DXF outline, when a smooth edge is not required.
Waterjet cutting
Waterjet cutting with a jet of water and abrasive: the material is not heated, so there is no heat distortion.
CNC router
A CNC router for sheet material such as wood, plywood and plastic: flat parts, signs and blanks.
CNC обработка: разгледайте подробно
- Фрезоване на 4 и 5 осиФрезоването на 4 и 5 оси добавя към трите линейни движения на фрезата въртене на детайла или на главата, така че инструментът достига наклонени повърхнини и сложни форми от няколко страни при една установка.
- Фрезоване на алуминийФрезоването на алуминий е CNC обработка, при която фреза сваля стружка от заготовка от алуминиева сплав с висока скорост, защото металът е мек и отвежда добре топлината.
- Пробиване, разстъргване и резбиПробиването, разстъргването и нарязването на резби са CNC операции за отвори: свредло прави отвора, разстъргването го довежда до точен размер, а метчик нарязва резбата.
- CNC фрезоване (3 оси)CNC фрезоването е обработка, при която въртяща се фреза сваля стружка от заготовка от метал или пластмаса по програма, получена от Вашия 3D модел или чертеж.
- CNC рутер (плочи: МДФ, шперплат, акрил)CNC рутерът реже и фрезова плочи от МДФ, шперплат и акрил по контур от чертеж или DXF файл.
- CNC стругованеCNC струговането е обработка, при която детайлът се върти в патронник, а неподвижен резец сваля стружка и оформя цилиндрични, конични и резбови повърхнини.
- Електроерозийна обработка (жична и обемна EDM)Електроерозията (EDM) снема метал с електрически искри между електрод или жица и детайла, потопени в диелектрична течност, а не с режещо острие.
- ШлифованеШлифоването снема метал с абразивен диск на много фини стъпки и се прави като финишна операция след фрезоване или струговане.
- CNC обработка на инженерни пластмаси (POM, PA, PEEK)CNC обработката на инженерни пластмаси фрезова или струга детайли от материали като POM, PEEK и PTFE по чертеж или 3D модел.
- Обработка на стомана и неръждаема стоманаCNC обработката на стомана и неръждаема стомана снема метал с фрези и стругови ножове по чертеж или 3D модел и дава детайли с точни размери.
Why tolerance matters
Tolerance is how far a dimension may differ from the drawing. The usual one is enough for most parts, while a tighter one makes the part more expensive.
| Kind of tolerance | Typical in machining |
|---|---|
| Usual tolerance Suits most parts. | ±0.025 to ±0.125 mm |
| Precise tolerance Needs a drawing with tolerances and is confirmed in the quote. | ±0.005 to ±0.025 mm |
A precise tolerance is given only from a drawing and is confirmed in the quote, before you decide.
How an order works
From the file to the part in your hands, in five steps.
File
You pick what you have (a 3D model, a drawing, a sheet metal part or only an idea) and upload a STEP, STL or DXF file or a PDF drawing. A 3D model and a sheet metal DXF are read in your browser; a drawing is taken as it is and an engineer reviews it. A photo or a sketch is enough to start, and if you have no file, you describe the part.
Check
The app checks the file in your browser and shows the size, volume, how much material is removed, the suggested process and why it was suggested. For sheet metal you see the cutting and the number of bends. This is a quick check before the inquiry, not a quote. If something does not suit CNC, we tell you before the quote.
Quote
You add material, quantity, accuracy and coating and leave a contact. An engineer reviews the file and sends you a quote by email within 2 working days, with a price and lead time for your part.
Manufacturing
We take the order: the design and the drawings are ours, and we answer for quality and lead time.
Delivery
The finished part is sent by courier across Bulgaria.
What is settled at the review
The browser measures only what can be seen in the file: size, volume, shape, cutting and bends. For a prototype that is often enough; for a precise fit it is not.
Thin walls, inside radii, pockets, tolerances and coatings are reviewed by an engineer. A precise fit and a batch need a drawing with tolerances. The stock size and the weight are confirmed when we review the file.
The suggested process is a suggestion, not a decision: turning when the shape is rotational, milling otherwise. The engineer confirms or changes it.
Materials and limits
These are indicative limits. The exact capability for your part is confirmed in the quote.

No drawing?
That is not a problem. If you have a part, a sketch or a photo, we draw the 3D model and the drawing with tolerances.
The design is our work and goes into one quote with the manufacturing. If the part exists but has no drawing, we measure it and build the model.
What customers say about EduFacturing
Reviews from the company profile on Google, as they were written. The reviews are about all our work, not only CNC.
I needed a soap stamp made and Krasimir advised me on the best material to use for my project and was happy to create the 3d file from the logo that I gave him. I was very pleased with the top quality of the work, the personal attention and the quick turnaround of my order.
Krasi is an absolute didact of his craft and a total gentleman to deal with. Explains everything clearly and is willing to work around technical difficulties and ridiculous requests all to make a customer happy.

Questions about the CNC service
These are the questions people ask most often. If yours is missing, write or call.
How much does CNC milling cost?
The price of CNC milling depends on the material, blank size, machining time, quantity and tolerance, so this page prints no general price. Upload the file or describe the part and you receive a quote by email within 2 working days, with the price and lead time for your part.
Do you offer turning?
Yes, we take on turning for shafts, bushings and round parts. The length is up to 2000 mm, the diameter up to 500 mm. A part up to 3 times as long as its diameter needs only the chuck; longer ones need lighter cuts or support. These figures are a guide, not a promise.
How much does sheet metal bending cost?
The price of sheet metal bending depends on the material, thickness, bends and quantity. As a guide, thickness is up to 10 mm, on request up to 12 mm, and bending length up to 3100 mm. Send a DXF with marked bend lines and receive a quote within 2 working days.
What file should I send for CNC machining?
Best is a 3D model in STEP or STL, and for flat parts and sheet metal a DXF. We also accept a PDF drawing, DWG, a photo or a sketch. STEP carries the exact shape, while the drawing adds the tolerances. With no file, describe the part and you receive a quote within 2 working days.
What tolerance can be achieved?
As a guide, the tolerance in CNC milling is ±0.127 mm, in sheet metal bending ±1 mm. Typical in machining: 0.025 to 0.125 mm. A tighter tolerance needs a drawing, is confirmed in the quote and costs more. Mark the tolerance and the critical dimensions on the drawing.
How long does it take to make a part?
The quote arrives within 2 working days. The manufacturing lead time depends on the part and the workload. As a guide it is 3 to 5 working days (typical for the market, on request). The quote states the exact lead time. Need it faster? Say so in the form.
Which materials can be used?
We accept aluminium, wood, brass, stainless steel, plastic, carbon steel and titanium for manufacturing. For sheet metal the kind of metal and the thickness matter too. Write the material in the form or leave it open: we will suggest a suitable one in the quote, which arrives within 2 working days.
Can I order without a drawing?
Yes. If you only have a part, an idea or a photo, we draw the 3D model and the drawing: design is our work. Send a photo with a ruler by the part or a sketch with dimensions. Design and manufacturing go into one quote within 2 working days. So you need neither a draftsman nor a CAD program.
Do you do plasma cutting and waterjet cutting?
Plasma cutting is for thick steel along a DXF outline, while waterjet cutting also suits heat-sensitive materials. As a guide, thickness is up to 40 mm for plasma cutting and up to 50 mm for waterjet cutting. Send a DXF with the material and thickness.
Do you deliver from Plovdiv across the country?
Orders are handled from Plovdiv, and finished parts are sent by courier across Bulgaria. The way of delivery is stated in the quote, which arrives within 2 working days after we receive the file. For questions about delivery, write or call us.
