CNC Prototype Machining, Plastic Injection Molding, and Aluminum Milling Services

Three essential manufacturing services—CNC prototyping services, plastic injection molding services, and aluminum milling services—and how they work together to take ideas from concept to production.

What is Aluminum CNC Machining?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is an advanced manufacturing technology that uses preprogrammed software to direct the movement of factory tools and machinery. CNC technology can control equipment such as milling machines, routers, grinders, and lathes to perform complex machining tasks.

Features of Aluminum CNC Machining:

Automation: The automated control features of CNC machining reduce the need for on-site operators, thereby improving production efficiency.

High Precision: CNC machining is capable of high-precision 3D cutting, ensuring that part dimensions and shapes meet exacting standards.

Widely Applicable: CNC machining can be used on a variety of solid materials, including aluminum, a lightweight metal that has a wide range of applications in aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

What are the benefits of using aluminum in CNC machining?

Aluminum is a popular choice for CNC machining for a variety of reasons. Aluminum is easy to machine, enabling efficient cutting, chipping, and forming. Due to its excellent machinability, aluminum can often be machined faster than other metals.

Key advantages of aluminum:

• Corrosion resistance: Aluminum has an oxide film on its surface that effectively resists corrosion.

• Strength-to-weight ratio: Aluminum is a strong material used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and electronics. Its lightweight properties make it ideal for aircraft and automotive components.

• Surface treatment: Aluminum can undergo a variety of finishing processes, including anodizing and painting, to enhance its appearance and durability.

• Recyclability: Aluminum is recyclable, which helps reduce waste in the manufacturing process, allowing any excess material to be reused.

FAQ:

• 1. Can I get a quote without drawings?
  Sure, we appreciate to receive your samples, pictures or drafts with detailed dimensions for accurate quotation.

• 2.Will my drawings be divulged if you benefit?
  No, we pay much attention to protect our customers’ privacy of drawings, signing NDA is also accepted if need.

• 3. Can you provide samples before mass production?
  Sure, sample fee is needed, will be returned when mass production if possible.

• 4. How about the lead time?
  Generally, 1-2 weeks for samples, 3-4 weeks for mass production.

• 5. How do you control the quality?
  (1) Material inspection--Check the material surface and roughly dimension.
  (2) Production inspection--Each production section will check the key dimensions and appearance.
  Before surface treatment, do a good job of product packaging to avoid bumps and injuries. And check visual inspection
  (3) Sampling inspection--Check the quality before sending to the warehouse.
  (4) Pre-shipment inspection--100% inspected by QC assistants before shipment.

• 6. What will you do if we receive poor quality parts?
  Please kindly send us the pictures, our engineers will find the solutions and remake them for you asap.
