A CNC machine can help give your business what it needs in a lot of ways. Whether itās a prototype or the mass production of one item, your machine has you covered. But before you put any old metal into it, we recommend learning which metals are best for which jobs. This will help you to save money and create the best product possible. If you need milling done, start with these materials:
Aluminum
A soft metal that is very easy to bend and cut, aluminum is also very cheap in price. This makes it perfect for the creation of a prototype of a piece your company may be developing.
Stainless Steel
Unlike aluminum, stainless steel is very hard and is rather expensive. If you are looking to mass produce an item that needs to be able to take a beating, then this is your metal.
Brass
Typically used for electronic hardware and commercial products, brass is another soft metal that cuts brilliantly. Itās not too expensive either, which could make it a great learning metal for prototypes.
Titanium
An extremely strong and durable metal, titanium was first used to build aircrafts. It is also very light, making it easy to turn and bend while in the machine.
