Revealed: 3 Components That Can be Created Using CNC Machining

CNC machining is a versatile manufacturing technique that is capable of producing a range of component types from a variety of materials. CNC machining is best known for producing precision metal parts for use in automotive, engineering and aerospace applications, but the method is also equally adept at producing more unusual objects, such as ornaments or even pieces of art.

Below is a look at some of the different component styles that CNC machining can produce:

1. Metal Components

Using metals such as aluminium, steel, brass, copper, bronze or even titanium, our equipment can produce a wide variety of precision machined components for automotive manufacture, as well as other applications.

Aluminium Components – being both lightweight and strong, aluminium is a fantastic material for CNC machined parts that are used in high-tech industries. It is highly corrosion-resistant too, making aluminium components useful for numerous applications.

Steel Components – economical (although often more expensive than aluminium components because more time is needed to machine them) and strong, CNC machined steel parts are used in a wide range of industries including automotive and aerospace.

Brass Components – machined brass parts are frequently used in electronic contacts and hardware, and many other commercial products. Relatively low cost and extremely easy to machine, brass components are a popular choice among our customers.

 

2. Acrylic Components

Modern acrylic materials are highly versatile and, as such, can be used to create a wide range of products using CNC machining techniques. These products include everything from complex machinery components for micro fluidic devices, right through to more straightforward things like signage or company logos.

These materials can also be used to create ornaments and art pieces for use around the home or office.

In fact, there is only one limit to what can be created using acrylics: your imagination.

3. Electronic Components

CNC machining techniques can be used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. CNC machining allows for precision drilling of the board, to help ensure that it is as electrically efficient as possible.
