Custom CNC Aluminum Parts CNC Milling Parts Machining Services CNC Parts Suppliers

The CNC machining process, standing for computer numerical control machining, is a subtractive

manufacturing approach that utilizes a synergy of computerized controls and machine tools to

eliminate layers from a solid block of material.

Programming dictates the desired cuts in the metal, aligning them with specific tools and machinery,

and the automated process executes the machining task accordingly.

Product Details

Aluminum is an excellent material for CNC machining due to its high machinability, ductility,

and favorable strength-to-weight ratio. It offers outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity,

low density, and inherent resistance to corrosion.

Aluminum Finishing and Post-Processing

Aluminum can also be anodized for additional surface protection and aesthetic finishes.

FAQ's

1. Machining Parameters Determined by Operators:

Most machining parameters are established by the machine operator during the generation of

G-code.Build Size of CNC Machines:

CNC machines offer a notably large build area, especially when compared to 3D printers.
CNC milling systems can handle parts with dimensions up to 2,000 x 800 x 100 mm (78” x 32” x 40”).
CNC turning systems can machine parts with a diameter of up to Ø 500 mm (Ø 20’’).

Accuracy and Tolerances:

CNC machining enables the production of parts with high accuracy and tight tolerances.
Tolerances achievable with CNC machines can be less than half the diameter of an average human

hair, reaching ± 0.025 mm or .001’’.
If tolerance is not specified in the technical drawing, the operator typically machines the part with

an accuracy of 0.125 mm (.005’’).

Key Takeaways:

CNC machines excel in both build size and precision, making them suitable for a wide range of

applications.
Operators have the flexibility to set machining parameters based on the specific requirements of

the project.
Understanding the build size and achievable tolerances is crucial for designing parts that meet

precision and accuracy standards.

2. How much do CNC machining materials cost?

CNC machining offers a plethora of material choices, leading to varying costs across different options.

The price range for materials is broad, influenced by factors such as physical properties and specific

characteristics of each material.

For metal parts, Aluminum 6061 stands out as the most economical choice.

If cost is a primary consideration, ABS emerges as the most budget-friendly option.

Additionally, the ease of machining significantly impacts costs, with materials like stainless steel

posing a higher machining difficulty compared to aluminum, thereby contributing to an increased

overall cost.

3. How quickly can I get my parts?

We can produce quality parts in as little as two weeks if complete 2D and 3D CAD models are provided.

However, more intricate parts with special features may require additional time.
