    That's unlikely to be made by a CNC machine directly, although a CNC mill might be involved in making the original, which is then molded and cast to produce multiples. There's no single machine that gets you all the way there. Instead, you'd need to set up an industrial process which starts with prototyping, then proceeds through molding, casting, metal-finishing, plating, and assembly.

    Hi,
    CNC machines can do an amazing job but to get the very best finish is time consuming, we could be talking hours and hours on a capable machine.
    The more normal route is to make models from which patterns are made, then cast, then finished and polished.....all up quite a procedure.
    You could go direct from design to finished product on a CNC machine but its likely to be time consuming and therefore expensive.

    I think you would be advised to go to a workshop that already has CNC machinery and have a look at their output and get an idea of the sort of machines used,
    the finishes that can be achieved and the costs involved before you make up your mind. It might be that you need a hundred thousand dollar machine that is rigid enough
    to get the really fine finish you want. Best to find that out early.

    Typically CNC machine shops are looking for work. You may find that engaging a shop to do your work is much cheaper than buying your own machine and making all
    the absolutely inevitable mistakes before you get even close to a finished product.
