CNC Metals
| Materials | Image | Description | Applications | Machinability Rating (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum |  |
Low density, high hardness, high strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability, easy to process, recyclable, widely used in the production of structural parts, housings, heat sinks, etc. | Aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical equipment, construction | High (80-90%) |
| Stainless Steel |  |
Resistant to chemical and electrochemical corrosion, heat resistant, high-temperature resistant, high hardness, oxidation resistant, good plasticity, good weldability, small tendency to thermal cracking | Food processing, medical equipment, chemical equipment, marine engineering, architectural decoration | Medium (60-70%) |
| Steel |  |
Good machinability, excellent electrical conductivity, widely used in the manufacture of machine parts, molds, etc. | Automotive manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, bridge construction, tool manufacturing | High (75-85%, depending on type and grade) |
| Brass |  |
Conductive, heat conductive, and corrosion resistant, widely used in the production of electrical components, heat exchangers, etc. | Electronics, piping systems, valves, faucets, ornaments | Medium-High (70-80%) |
| Copper |  |
>99.3% Purity + Superior electrical conductivity | Electrical wires and cables, electrical components, heat exchangers, radiators, artworks | High (80-90%, but caution needed to prevent overheating and tool sticking) |
| Bronze |  |
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin that is very ductile and far less brittle than cast iron. It melts at about 950 degrees Celsius, but the exact temperature varies depending on the composition of the alloy. | Bearings, clips, electrical connectors, springs, bushings, automotive transmission guide bearings | Moderate (50–60%, varies by alloy) |
| Titanium |  |
Low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance, widely used in the production of aerospace parts, artificial joints, etc. | Aerospace, medical equipment, sporting goods, chemical equipment, marine engineering | Low (40-50%, due to high hardness and cutting forces) |
Before machining, our DDF optimization engineers will select or recommend suitable materials for you based on the uses and requirements of your metal prototype parts, reducing costs while meeting your application requirements. All materials will also be tested by a spectral material analyzer before processing to ensure that customers are using real raw materials.
VMT can provide CNC machining materials, sheet metal materials, 3D printing materials, etc. in a variety of colors, properties and hardness. These materials are all from reputable and cooperative suppliers carefully selected over the past 15 years, and are tested before being used to manufacture CNC machining, sheet metal processing, 3D printing and other parts to ensure that they meet your requirements.
We have our own material library with 40+ materials in stock. Engineers will conduct a DFM analysis to select suitable materials for you, reducing material costs by 30%.
We operate our own factory and collaborate with trusted suppliers to ensure stable pricing and a consistent material supply.
Every material is rigorously tested, with detailed reports provided to ensure quality and suitability for your parts machining project.
A team of 6 engineers and VMT technicians with 20 years of experience provide you with help and recommend suitable metal and plastic materials.
What Materials Can a CNC Machine Cut?
CNC machines can cut a wide range of materials, including metals such as aluminum, steel, and brass, as well as plastics, wood, foam, and composites like carbon fiber. The material choice depends on the machine’s capabilities and the application requirements.
What Materials Can be Used in a CNC Machine?
Materials suitable for CNC machining include metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and copper, as well as plastics, ceramics, and wood. The selection is based on the desired durability, weight, and surface finish of the final product.
Can a CNC Milling Mmachine Cut Magnetic Material?
CNC milling machines can cut magnetic materials like certain types of steel and alloys. Specialized techniques and tools may be used to address challenges posed by the material’s magnetic properties.
How much does 3D Printer Material Cost?
The price of 3D printing materials varies. Standard filaments such as PLA and ABS cost between twenty and fifty dollars per kilogram, while specialty filaments and resins can range from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars.
How strong is 3D-printed Material?
The strength of 3D-printed materials depends on the material and the printing technique. PLA and ABS offer moderate strength, while nylon and carbon-fiber-reinforced materials are significantly stronger and more durable.
How is Sheet Metal Made from raw Materials?
Sheet metal is produced by melting raw materials, casting them into large slabs, and rolling them into thin sheets. Processes like rolling, annealing, and surface treatment refine the sheets to the desired thickness and quality.
