Many of our customers turn to us to find CNC machine work, in most cases, to make aluminum prototypes. When it comes to metal prototypes, aluminum is the most common material choice. We have several CNC machines for metalwork. The engineers and operators are in the industry for over 10 years. So if you find us for CNC machine work, good results are delivered.

In this case, our customer was developing a new consumer electronic product and designed the outer shells in aluminum material. They wanted us to produce 10 sets of CNC-machined metal workpieces in aluminum to test the structure of their new design via finding us to male the CNC machined workpieces. So it was no need to do good finishing because the structure was the top priority.

In the below pictures, you will notice the prototypes were just sanded CNC machined metal workpieces to remove some tool marks of the outside surfaces without any other treatment. Insiders always call the inside surfaces as-machined. The tool marks of the CNC machines for the metalwork are obvious.

You will find CNC machine work still is the best way to manufacture metal prototypes. Because there are still no alternative processes, unlike plastic prototyping. Instead of finding CNC-machined plastic workpieces, processes like vacuum casting and 3D printing are also available. CNC machines for metal workpieces can also produce plastic parts.

If you are finding CNC machine work, X Rapid Technologies is here to help. Custom CNC machining solutions will be offered within 24 hours. Your assigned 1-on-1 project manager will take care of your projects from A to Z. Let's get our CNC machines for metalwork running together!
