Product Details
What are the Materials Used in CNC Machining?
CNC machining is a versatile process employed across a wide range of materials, each with its
own ideal machining parameters, including speeds and feeds. Here are some of the most common
materials used:
1. Metals
Metals are the most frequently machined materials, ranging from easily workable brass to robust
nickel superalloys like Inconel. CNC machining in metal finds application in various industries,
including the production of injection molds, shafts, and gears.
2. Plastics
While injection molding is the primary method for plastic part production, CNC machining is utilized
for specific plastic components. Common plastic materials include ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene),
nylon, and polycarbonate.
Plastic CNC machining is suitable for valve bodies, bushings, and prototypes to assess part functionality
before investing in costly molds.
3. Wood
CNC routers are commonly employed for wood cutting, offering a cost-effective alternative to
metal-cutting CNC machines. Wood CNC machining is often used for decorative purposes,
such as crafting furniture, window frames, and ornamental panels.
4. Foam
Polyurethane foam, both closed-cell and open-cell varieties, is frequently used in CNC machining
applications. CNC routers can shape foam blocks to create custom packaging for high-value items,
such as toolboxes designed to securely transport tools.
5. Composites
CNC machines play a crucial role in processing composite materials like aramid, fiberglass, and
carbon fiber. These abrasive materials require precise machining to add fastener holes and trim
components in industries like aerospace and marine manufacturing.

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. Can make design drawings for me?
We do not offer standalone product design services, but we do provide Design for Manufacturing
(DFM) reviews for all approved orders.
This means that we collaborate with our clients to optimize their 2D and 3D drawings, enhancing
manufacturability, resolving design issues, and reducing production expenses.
Learn more about preparing your CAD drawings for manufacturing.
2. How long does a quotation take?
Typically, we aim to provide a response within one days upon receiving an RFQ. If there is a delay
in generating the quote, we will promptly inform you.
3. What are your shipping terms?
Our standard shipping terms are Ex Works (EXW) for both rapid prototyping and regular production
orders.
Under EXW terms, the customer is responsible for all aspects of shipping, customs clearance,
and associated fees once the goods have been dispatched from our facility.
For express shipments, we utilize Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) terms. This means that the client
is responsible for settling any import duties upon the goods' arrival at their designated destination.
