CNC machined aluminum
Aluminum’s ease of machining makes it an excellent choice for CNC machining processes. Its beneficial properties, including its lightweight nature, malleability, ductility, and robust durability, contribute to its wide-ranging applications. The lightweight characteristic of aluminum simplifies handling and machining, enabling its use in diverse products. In CNC machining, aluminum parts are crafted from a raw metal block, meticulously shaped piece by piece to achieve the precise design or object envisioned. This precision crafting is facilitated by CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machinery, which can produce virtually any three-dimensional shape or design conceived through CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
