Copper is one of the most thermally and electrically conductive metals, making it ideal for CNC machining in critical applications like electronics, automotive, and optics. Let’s explore its properties, benefits, grades, and how it compares with other CNC metals.
The melting temperature of brass is usually between 900°C and 940°C. This range is determined by the mix of copper and zinc in the alloy. Brasses with higher zinc content melt at lower temperatures, while those with more copper need higher heat to melt.
Steel is stronger and cheaper; aluminum is lighter and resists corrosion better. Whether you need lightweight aluminum parts or high-strength steel components, VMT provides expert CNC milling and CNC turning services to meet your exact requirements.
With 15 years in the CNC machining industry, our team brings a wealth of experience. We specialize in low-volume production for industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical. Our services include CNC machining, rapid prototyping, die casting, and aluminum extrusion, ensuring we can handle a variety of production needs with precision and efficiency.
EDM machining is a cutting edge process that uses controlled sparks to shape materials without physical contact. It’s ideal for manufacturing complex parts with high accuracy, especially in industries like aerospace, medical, and automotive.
Not all materials can be used in 3D printing. Materials that cannot be melted, extruded, or solidified using current technologies, like traditional wood, diamonds, or ceramics without specialized techniques.
Surface finish symbols represent standardized instructions on technical drawings, guiding machinists on how smooth or rough a finished surface must be. Correctly reading these symbols ensures parts meet functional, aesthetic, and quality standards while reducing manufacturing errors.
Medical CNC machining involves using computer-controlled tools to manufacture complex, high-tolerance parts used in the healthcare industry. From surgical instruments to implantable devices, it guarantees consistent accuracy and finish.
With 100+ machines, including high precision CNC milling machines, VMT delivers custom parts as fast as within 3 days. Our engineers provide free design support to optimize manufacturing efficiency and visual appeal.
