Rapid Prototyping
Low-Volume Manufacturing
CNC Aluminum Machining
Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals for CNC machining. Compared with other numerous alloys, aluminum have strong flexibility and adaptability, and have a wide range of industrial applications, including mechanical machining and tools. Its low cost and easy formation means it is an ideal prototype material, and its unique properties make it popular in aviation, watercraft, medical, electronic, entertainment equipment, machinery and other products. Parts made of aluminum are usually cheaper because they can be machined in shorter time than many other metals, such as steel, and do not require additional polishing. When aluminum anodized will gives a perfect appearance.
AN-PROTOTYPE has been engaging in rapid prototype manufacturing in china with high quality CNC Aluminum Machining, and providing precise Aluminum machining services. Aluminum has many different shapes and grades. The aluminum level you choose depends on how you intend to use the metal. Below are our ability for aluminum material machining.

Low-Volume production of aluminum prototypes machining
CNC Turning
At AN-PROTOTYPE, we have 20+ CNC turning machines in house. In addition, we offer a few sub-operations. Such as EDM, drilling and knurling, etc.
Precision CNC Milling
We have a wide series of precision CNC milling. Including 3-axis and 5-axis CNC millers. They assist us in creating machined low volume aluminum parts.
Advantages of Low Volume CNC Aluminum
1.No Investment in tooling
A die-casting tool is usually a costly investment. While, CNC machining allows us to save a lot on start-up costs. Moreover, it helps us reduce financial risk in the long term.
2.Shorter Lead Time
Generally, it takes us about 30 days to work with a tooling item. But CNC machining can shorten the production schedule. And helping customer gain more market share at a earlier step.
3.An Improved Surface Finish
CNC machined low volume aluminum parts offers excellent visual appeal. This allows us to avail of the product without having to process a post-finish service.
4.More Post Finishes optional
Most CNC machined aluminum parts can receive a wide range of post finishes. Such as anodizing, powder coating, and chrome plating.
