In the field of precision manufacturing, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining centers, characterized by high precision and high efficiency, have become one of the core equipment in modern industrial production. As a national high – tech enterprise, Xiamen Goldcattle focuses on the research, development, and manufacturing of high – precision injection – molded parts, machined parts, stamping parts, and plastic injection – molded components, and is committed to providing customers with comprehensive precision CNC machining solutions. This article aims to provide customers with a detailed quotation guide by deeply analyzing the application of precision CNC machining centers in the processing of plastic and metal materials, helping customers achieve high – quality and high – efficiency production goals.
Comparison between Plastic and Metal Materials
In precision CNC machining, plastic and metal materials are suitable for different application scenarios due to their unique physical properties and functional indicators. The following is a comparison of several common plastic and metal materials:
| Material Type | Physical Properties | Functional Indicators | Applicable Scenarios | Economy | Mass – production Feasibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic | Lightweight, insulating, corrosion – resistant | Low cost, easy to form | Electronic product casings, automotive parts, etc. | Relatively low | High |
| Aluminum Alloy | Lightweight, high – strength, good thermal conductivity | Corrosion – resistant, easy to process | Aerospace, transportation, etc. | Medium | High |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion – resistant, high – temperature – resistant, high – strength | Excellent mechanical properties | Medical equipment, food processing equipment, etc. | Relatively high | High |
Engineers’ Material Selection Advice: When choosing materials, factors such as the product’s usage environment, mechanical properties, processing difficulty, and cost need to be comprehensively considered. For example, for products that need to withstand large impact forces and require light weight, plastic materials are an ideal choice; while for products that need to withstand extreme environments such as high temperature and high pressure, stainless steel is more suitable.
