Choosing the right material is one of the most important steps in parts manufacturing. The material not only affects the quality of the final product but also determines its performance in specific applications. At MRD Machine, we use precision CNC machining to work with a variety of materials, ensuring the best results for your projects.
Metals
Metals are among the most commonly used materials in parts manufacturing:
Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to machine, it’s perfect for aerospace and automotive components.
Steel: Known for its strength and durability, steel is often used in structural parts.
Stainless Steel: Resistant to rust and corrosion, it’s widely used in medical and food industry equipment.
Brass: With excellent electrical conductivity and machinability, brass is ideal for fittings and valves.
Plastics
Plastics offer versatility in parts manufacturing:
Acrylic (PMMA): Lightweight and clear, it’s used in lenses and displays.
Nylon: Wear-resistant and low-friction, nylon works well in gears and bearings.
Polycarbonate: Impact-resistant, it’s great for safety equipment.
Delrin (POM): With high stiffness and dimensional stability, it’s a top choice for precision parts.
Composites and Ceramics
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP): Lightweight but incredibly strong, CFRP is popular in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Fiberglass: Durable and lightweight, it’s commonly used in marine and construction applications.
Alumina and Zirconia Ceramics: Known for their hardness and wear resistance, they’re ideal for cutting tools and medical implants.
