Aluminium CNC Machining Parts. XINGDA CNC has machined aluminum parts for over 6 years. CNC milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses 3-axis milling and 4-axis indexed milling processes to cut solid plastic and metal blocks into final parts. CNC turning with live tooling combines both lathe and mill capabilities to machine parts with cylindrical features from metal rod stock.
Aluminium is a lightweight, non-magnetic, silver-colored metal that can be formed into almost any shape.
Properties of Aluminium
- Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Good heat and electrical conductivity
- Easily machined
- Reflects heat and light
Aluminium CNC Parts
CNC machining allows for high volume output as well as rapid prototyping. CNC machining uses computers to guide machinery and tools during the manufacturing process. Once a CNC machine is started, all cuts and movements are controlled by the software. There is no hands-on maneuvering of the tools, which helps reduce manufacturing overhead and prevents accidents.
Many industries use CNC machining, including aerospace, electronics, metalwork, production, transportation, agriculture, automotive, construction, oil and gas, and more.
Advantages Of CNC Machining Services
CNC machining services at XingDa have many advantages for product development that can make it the ideal solution not only for rapid prototyping but also for volume production. Here is what you should consider.
- Quick removal of large amounts of metal as well as plastic resins
- Highly accurate and repeatable
- Excellent for making complex geometries
- Suitable for many different kinds of substrates
- Scalable volumes from one to 1000+
- Low investment in tooling and preparation cost
- Fast turnaround
- Parts are full-strength and can be put into service immediately
- Excellent surface finishes
- Easily customized
CNC milling and CNC turning are different processes. One big difference is that turning is primarily used for making cylindrical components while milling can be used for various shaped parts.
CNC Milling
CNC milling services at XingDa CNC use multi-axis machine tools controlled with UG software. High-speed milling is ideal for creating prismatic shapes and complex geometries in a variety of brasses, mild and stainless steels, aluminum, titanium, and rigid plastic.
CNC Turning
XingDa CNC’s CNC turning services employ high-speed turning centers. We routinely turn brass, aluminum, mild, and stainless steel as well as rigid plastic. Our CNC turning services create complex external geometries and internal bores with very tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes. CNC turning is suitable for rapid prototypes, new product introduction, and low-volume production.
