CNC Machining
A Versatile Solution for Custom Metal and Plastic Components
CNC machining represents the predominant subtractive manufacturing technology in contemporary
industrial processes. It stands as an exceptionally flexible and robust method for the production
of tailor-made metal and plastic parts.
Leveraging CAD models, CNC machines execute precise material removal from solid blocks through
a diverse range of cutting tools.

Cost Considerations for CNC Machining Materials
The cost of materials in CNC machining can fluctuate significantly due to the extensive array of
available options. Each material carries its unique price tag, and the inherent physical properties
of each material play a substantial role in determining machining costs.
For those seeking to manufacture metal components, Aluminum 6061 stands out as the most
cost-effective choice.
On the other hand, ABS ranks as the most budget-friendly option among materials.
As for the influence of machining complexity on costs, stainless steel serves as an illustrative example.
Its inherent hardness, surpassing that of aluminum, renders it more challenging to machine,
consequently elevating the overall machining expenses.
Here is a comprehensive overview of the most popular materials.
| The Most Popular Materials | |
| Name | Characteristics |
| Aluminum 6061 | Good strength-to-weight ratio, excellent machinability, low hardness |
| Stainless Steel 304 | Excellent mechanical properties, resistant to corrosion & acid, relatively difficult to machine |
| Brass C360 | High ductility, excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance |
| ABS | Excellent impact resistance, good mechanical properties, susceptible to solvents |
| Nylon (PA6 & PA66) | Excellent mechanical properties, high toughness, poor moisture resistance |
| POM (Delrin) | High stiffness, excellent thermal & electrical properties, relatively brittle |

Company Profile
FAQ's
1. Can you create 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 it take to receive a quotation?
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. Is it possible to provide my own material for production?
Certainly, we accept customer-supplied materials as long as they are compatible with our machine
capabilities.
4. Can I use my own master model for making duplicate copies for vacuum casting or CNC
machining?
Certainly, you can supply your master model for creating silicone molds for vacuum casting or CNC
machining.
The master model should be constructed from a rigid solid material that can withstand temperatures up
to 100°C.
For CNC machining purposes, the models will undergo 3D scanning to generate a CAD/CAM program for
production.
