Like with many other engineering materials, aluminum has its drawbacks. Here are the disadvantages of aluminum for CNC machining:

If you’re looking for a readily available metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability, aluminum could be the right choice for your project. In addition, you should opt for aluminum if your part or component will be exposed to moist environments since aluminum alloys are generally resistant to corrosion.

Micro 100 tooling is designed to excel at vastly increased speed and feed rates while providing exceptional results in a wide array of difficult-to-machine materials.

But just because CNC machines simplify aluminum machining, it doesn’t mean fabricating aluminum parts is any less complex than it used to be. There are many aluminum grades (or alloys) available in the market today, and the success of your project will depend on you choosing the most suitable aluminum alloy for your project.

As you may have realized, aluminum offers several desirable properties and is easily machinable using CNC machines. But is aluminum the right choice for your product design project?
