1. Project Background

Our client, a well-recognized coffee machine manufacturer in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, was developing a new-generation coffee machine for both home and commercial use. In this project, one of the key requirements was a set of custom aluminum components, including supporting brackets, circular rings, and structural bases. These parts not only had to guarantee reliable mechanical stability but also needed to maintain a sleek, premium appearance, since some of them would be partially visible in the final product.

Because coffee machines are highly competitive products in the FMCG sector, the client emphasized precision, safety, and aesthetics while also demanding rapid turnaround. They needed prototypes within a week and a fast transition into mass production to meet their product launch schedule. This made the project both technically demanding and strategically important.

2. Key Challenges

The challenge was to manufacture a set of multiple components with extremely tight tolerances of ±0.01 mm, ensuring perfect assembly between each part. Since these components were located near food and beverage contact areas, the material and finishing had to meet strict food-grade requirements. Beyond their functional role, the parts also contributed to the machine’s visual appeal, requiring smooth, scratch-free, and uniform black surfaces. On top of these requirements, the client demanded an ambitious timeline, with prototypes delivered within days and full production in less than two weeks. Balancing precision, compliance, aesthetics, and speed was the core challenge of this project.

3. Our Solution

To overcome these challenges, our team implemented a systematic solution:

Material Selection: We used 6061-T6 aluminum, chosen for its lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to meet food-grade safety standards.

Manufacturing Process: The components were produced using a combination of CNC lathes and CNC machining centers. Turning operations on the CNC lathe ensured precise roundness and dimensional stability for circular parts, while the machining center handled milling, drilling, and slotting features with high accuracy. This integrated process allowed the entire set of parts to achieve tight tolerances and ensured consistency across multiple geometries.

Surface Treatment: Each part underwent black anodizing, which provided excellent corrosion resistance, a refined matte appearance, and ensured a uniform look across the full set of components.

Quality Control: Comprehensive inspections were carried out using CCD optical detection systems and 2D measuring equipment, with full reports provided to verify both dimensional tolerances and surface quality.

Rapid Prototyping & Production: We delivered 20 prototype sets within 5 days. Once approved, mass production was completed within 12 days, producing 2,000 sets of parts that were ready for integration into the client’s coffee machines.

4. Results & Client Feedback

25% faster assembly efficiency due to precise part-to-part fit.

Black anodized finish achieved premium appearance with no scratches or color variations.

On-time delivery enabled a smooth product launch.

The client praised Flycncpart’s rapid response, stable quality, and reliable supply capability.

5. Future Outlook

Following the success of this project, the client plans to collaborate with Flycncpart on additional coffee machine components, including valve bodies, precision gears, and decorative housings. Our one-stop CNC machining and surface finishing services allow us to support both prototyping and high-volume production for the FMCG sector.

6. Conclusion

This case demonstrates how Flycncpart helps FMCG brands accelerate their product launches by delivering precision, quality, and speed in CNC machining. With expertise in aluminum part manufacturing and strict quality assurance, we support clients in maintaining a competitive edge in the consumer goods market.
