Materials & Surface Finishes

Material Options & Finishes for Miniature CNC Milling

Precision Material Selection Guide

Choose materials engineered for microscopic complexity. Our expert recommendations ensure optimal performance for functional prototypes and end-use parts:
Aluminum 6061: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and exceptionally machinable for intricate geometries. Ideal for aerospace sensors, medical devices, and consumer electronics where ±0.01mm tolerances must hold under stress.
Aluminum 7075: High-strength alloy for structural miniature components. Retains integrity in drone frames or precision tooling—perfect when weight-to-strength ratios are critical.
Stainless Steel 304/316: Food-safe (304) and marine-grade (316) corrosion resistance. Our CNC process preserves micro-threads and delicate features for surgical instruments or underwater sensors.
Brass: Superior electrical conductivity and ease of machining. Ideal for miniature connectors, RF components, and decorative elements requiring tight tolerances and aesthetic polish.
PEEK: High-temp stability (250°C+) and chemical inertness. Biocompatible for medical implants or aerospace seals where dimensional consistency is non-negotiable.

Surface Finishes That Preserve Precision

Avoid tolerances drift with finishes optimized for miniature parts. Every process is calibrated to maintain ±0.01mm accuracy:
Anodizing (Type II/III): Enhances wear resistance without measurable thickness gain. Critical for moving parts in micro-mechanisms where surface hardness must not compromise fit.
Precision Polishing: Mirror-smooth finishes on micro-features (e.g., optical lenses or watch components) without altering critical dimensions.
Electrostatic Painting: Uniform coating on complex geometries—no overspray on tiny edges. Ideal for consumer electronics housings requiring vibrant colors without dimensional loss.
Passivation (Stainless Steel): Removes free iron for maximum corrosion resistance in medical or marine environments. Ensures microscopic surfaces remain contamination-free.
Nickel Plating: Adds conductivity and wear resistance for electrical contacts. Applied with micron-level precision to avoid interfering with functional tolerances.
