What Materials Can CNC Machine Process?

As a professional CNC Machining service provider, AOOM Technology specializes in precision manufacturing for a wide range of materials. This article explores the capabilities of CNC technology in material processing, helping engineers and procurement managers make informed decisions.

Metals: The Core Domain of CNC Machining

CNC machines excel at processing various metals, including:

• Aluminum (series 6061, 7075, etc.) - Ideal for aerospace and automotive parts
• Stainless steel (303, 304, 316) - Perfect for medical and food industry components
• Brass and copper - Commonly used for electrical and decorative applications
• Titanium - Essential for medical implants and high-performance engineering

Plastics and Composites

Beyond metals, CNC technology effectively processes:

• Engineering plastics (PEEK, Delrin, Nylon)
• Acrylics and polycarbonates
• PTFE (Teflon) for chemical-resistant parts
• Composite materials including carbon fiber

Specialty Materials and Applications

Our CNC machining capabilities extend to more challenging materials:

• Tool steels for mold making
• Exotic alloys like Inconel and Hastelloy
• Wood and foam for prototyping
• Ceramics for specialized industrial applications

At AOOM Technology, we combine advanced CNC equipment with material expertise to deliver precision parts across all these material categories. Our engineers can advise on material selection based on your specific application requirements, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
