In the realm of manufacturing, the CNC machining process, denoted by computer numerical
control machining, is a subtractive method that integrates computerized controls and machine
tools. Its fundamental principle involves the removal of layers from a solid material block.
The programming specifies the desired cuts in the metal, coordinating with the corresponding
tools and machinery to execute the machining task in an automated manner.
Product Details
CNC machine shops can work with a variety of metals and plastics, provided they are suitable for
machining. The prevalent choice for precision CNC machining is aluminum alloys, prized for their
natural corrosion resistance.
Aluminum stands out as a favored material for CNC milling machine prototypes, thanks to its
combination of strength and machinability, enabling the precise fabrication of intricate features in
a single prototype.
Among aluminum alloys, the 6000 series is the most frequently encountered in milling machine
shops. Stainless steel alloys are another common choice due to their resistance to corrosion and wear.
Additionally, carbon steel, titanium, and nylon—a chemically resistant, robust, durable thermoplastic
—are materials often employed in CNC milling projects.
Here is a comprehensive overview of the most popular materials
