Controlled CNC turning processes engineered to deliver tight tolerances, consistent surface finishes, and repeatable results in production environments.
Atlas Fibre specializes in precision CNC lathe machining of thermoset composite materials for demanding industrial applications. Our turning capabilities are optimized for engineering-grade laminates where dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and material performance are critical—particularly in aerospace, electrical infrastructure, electric vehicles, and other high-reliability environments.
Our experienced team machines custom thermoset components to print, supporting high-volume, high-mix production with controlled processes and vertically integrated material availability.
Atlas Fibre machines a wide range of engineering-grade thermoset composite laminates on CNC lathes, including phenolic and epoxy-based materials engineered for structural, electrical, and thermal performance.
Common material families include paper-, fabric-, and glass-reinforced laminates used in applications requiring electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and long-term dimensional stability. Material selection is guided by performance requirements, operating environment, and tolerance needs.

Atlas Fibre’s CNC turning capabilities are built around the machining requirements of advanced plastics and engineering-grade thermoset laminates. We focus on controlled processes that account for the unique behavior of composite materials during turning operations.
These capabilities support both development work and ongoing production with predictable results.
CNC turning is well-suited for thermoset components with cylindrical or rotationally symmetric geometry. Typical parts include bushings, sleeves, spacers, insulators, and other precision-turned components used in electrically isolating or mechanically demanding environments.
These parts are commonly produced for aerospace systems, power distribution equipment, electric vehicles, and other applications where reliability and consistency are critical. Check out some of the parts and components Atlas Fibre machines in our Component Showcase.

Thermoset composites are commonly chosen for CNC turned components when consistent tolerances, electrical insulation, and thermal stability are critical. Their cross-linked structure resists deformation, corrosion, and property loss over time, making them a reliable alternative to metals or thermoplastics in demanding environments. Discover why designers and engineers are choosing advanced materials like composites.
