In this article, we’ll take a look at several of the technologies and materials used to manufacture parts for production, their benefits, things to consider, and more.
Read articleWhat’s the best material for machining your parts? Check out this side-by-side comparison of the strength, price and application for CNC plastics and metals (in a handy, printable poster).
There are so many metal and plastic materials available for CNC machining, which makes it tricky to know which to choose for your application. Materials partly dictate the final cost and quality of your parts, so you want to be as informed as possible.
And while it's handy to have access to detailed comparisons of all the major materials available on Hubs, it's optimal to have a single resource for making quick, smart comparisons.
This comprehensive poster contains all the information you need to know about CNC machining materials, including:
Prices of all CNC materials compared
Material strength
Operating temperature
Ultimate tensile strength (MPa)
Common applications across major industries
