A powerful new capability for CNC milling components has been developed by meviy, the on-demand custom parts manufacturing service developed by MISUMI Group, Inc.: automatic estimation for small diameter holes as small as ⌀1 mm. This enhancement enables engineers and designers to push the boundaries of miniaturization, density and functionality in part design — without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

For many product designers, incorporating small holes in parts — such as ⌀1 mm fluid paths or pinholes — has been a bottleneck in the digital quoting process. Until now, such intricate details often required manualSource: meviy confirmation or weren’t eligible for automatic estimation at all, leading to delays in procurement and longer design iteration cycles.

meviy has solved that.

Now, small diameter holes can be automatically estimated and processed, empowering users to:

• Insert thin precision pins for secure mechanical fastening
• Downsize pin bodies for more compact designs
• Design micro fluid paths, such as airflow channels in nozzles and suction pads
• Position small parts precisely using high-density pin layouts
• Reduce time to quote, even for complex or miniaturized components

“This is a game-changer for engineers working on high-precision, compact assemblies,” said Dan Petersen, public relations at meviy. “By supporting ⌀1 mm holes in our automatic CNC milling estimates, we’re giving users more design freedom while keeping lead times short and costs predictable.”

Users no longer have to choose between performance and speed. With the integration of this feature, meviy continues to redefine what's possible in digital manufacturing — especially for industries requiring compact, precision-engineered components.
