CNC Machining Parts Processing Part CNC Custom Aluminum Machining Service

CNC machining operates through subtractive processes, wherein the feedstock is machined to its

final form by the removal of material. This involves drilling holes, boring lots and pathways, and

shaping metal stock into new material with varying tapers, diameters, and shapes.

In subtractive manufacturing, the achievement of shapes relies on the removal of material, a

distinctive feature when compared to additive manufacturing methods that involve the addition,

layering, and deformation of materials to achieve a specified shape.

It also contrasts with injection molding, where material is injected in a different state of matter

using a mold and formed to a predetermined shape.

Product Details

CNC Machining with Aluminum

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. What are the minimum and maximum dimensions you can machine?

Our CNC machining services encompass both milling (3-axis, 3+2-axis, and 5-axis) and turning

processes.

For 3/3+2-axis CNC milling, we can machine parts with dimensions up to 2000 x 1500 x 200 mm

(78.7 x 59.0 x 7.8 in.). In the case of 5-axis milling, the maximum part size is 650 x 650 x 300 mm

(25.5 x 25.5 x 11.8 in.).

When it comes to CNC turning, we can handle parts with a maximum diameter of 431 mm (17 in.)

and a length of 990 mm (39 in.). For smaller parts, we recommend a minimum size of around

10 x 10 x 10 mm (0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 in.).

Additionally, feature dimensions should not fall below 0.5 mm. Please note that our platform is

limited to a maximum size of 1000 mm (39 in.) for parts. If you have requirements beyond this

limit, feel free to contact our sales team for specialized assistance.

2. Factors Influencing CNC Machining Costs:

The cost of CNC machining a part is influenced by several key factors, including:

1. Material: Variations in material costs arise as some materials, such as aluminum, are more

cost-effective to machine than others like Inconel due to increased tool wear and slower cutting

speeds.

2. Complexity: Parts with intricate features incur higher machining costs. Complex surface shapes,

for instance, are notably more expensive to machine compared to flat surfaces.

3. Tolerances: Stringent dimensional tolerances escalate machining costs. Specifying unnecessarily

tight tolerances on non-critical features can contribute to increased CNC machining expenses.

4. Surface Finish: Achieving mirror finishes necessitates specialized tooling and machining strategies,

extending machining time and subsequently increasing costs.

5. Quantity: Low-volume production inherently comes at a higher cost per part than large-volume

production. This is because initial setup and programming costs are distributed over a greater number

of parts in large-volume production.

3. What are you shipping terms?

Our standard shipping terms are Ex Works (EXW) for both rapid prototyping and regular production

orders. This implies that once the goods have left our premises, the customer assumes responsibility

for shipping, customs clearance, and all associated fees.

For express shipments, we employ Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where the client is accountable for

paying import duty upon the arrival of the goods at the destination.
