Materials for CNC - Greater Vancouver | |
In today’s product development and manufacturing, choosing the right materials is more than just ticking boxes—it directly affects cost, durability, performance, and time-to-market. From prototypes to end-use parts, the material you use determines how well your product performs under stress, weather, chemicals, or repeated use. When you look at what’s available, the material options break down into three core categories: metals, plastics, and rubbers. Each group offers distinct advantages based on their physical and chemical properties. Your choice depends on the part's purpose, industry regulations, mechanical demands, and even aesthetics. 1. Metals Metals remain a staple in manufacturing due to their strength, machinability, and thermal resistance. Aluminium (such as 6061 or 7075) is often selected for lightweight yet high-strength parts. Stainless steels like 304 and 316 are corrosion-resistant and commonly used in food-grade, marine, and medical parts. Tool steels, titanium alloys, and exotic metals like Inconel or Invar support specialised use-cases in aerospace, medical, and energy industries. These materials withstand extreme heat, maintain structural stability, and often outperform others under heavy mechanical stress. CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication are the primary processes used to work with these metals, allowing for tight tolerances and consistent finishes across production runs. 2. Plastics Engineering plastics have come a long way. They now match or even surpass metals in some applications, especially where weight, corrosion, or insulation is a factor. ABS, Nylon, POM (Delrin), and PEEK are frequently used in functional prototypes and production parts. These materials offer flexibility, toughness, and excellent wear resistance. For high-performance requirements, options like PEI or glass-filled variants provide added strength without compromising dimensional stability. The variety of plastics also makes them ideal for injection moulding, CNC machining, or vacuum forming. Each method benefits from plastics' consistent properties and lower cost per unit at scale. 3. Rubber Rubber materials are essential in sealing, insulating, or damping applications. EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), Silicone, and SBR are widely used across industries such as automotive, HVAC, and industrial equipment. Their mechanical flexibility, impact resistance, and resilience to temperature extremes or chemical exposure make rubber materials ideal for gaskets, hoses, seals, and grips. Rubber is typically shaped via compression moulding, transfer moulding, or liquid injection moulding—each chosen based on the material and design complexity. Choosing Materials for Manufacturing The right material is not a one-size-fits-all decision. You have to consider: Thermal and chemical resistance Load-bearing requirements Machinability and cost Regulatory needs (e.g., food-grade, medical) Start with the performance specs your part needs, and work backwards to the most suitable material. If your product fails in real use, it’s usually because the material didn’t meet real-world expectations.  | |
