CNC machining involves the use of various materials to manufacture high precision components. Usual metals include aluminium, stainless steel and alloys as well as plastics like ABS or polycarbonate. Further wood, composites including carbon fiber among others, ceramics foam rubber and specialist materials such as glass stone are used. The selection of an appropriate material is based on certain properties needed for the part work, such as strength or resistance to heat etc. With the adaptability, CNC machining makes it possible to produce accurate component components across different sectors while working with a wide range of materials.
