Materials
This page brings together the main materials we use for CNC parts, assemblies, and serial-ready hardware production.
Selecting the right material is usually a trade-off between conductivity, corrosion resistance, temperature behavior, weight, and budget. If your target material is not listed, we can review it with you directly.
Metals
Metals are often the right choice when strength, thermal behavior, or electrical conductivity are critical to the part.
High conductivity and a distinctive finish for technical and visible hardware parts.
See material group
A robust option for structural parts, fixtures, and durable production components.
See material group
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant for housings, brackets, and functional parts.
See material group
Used when corrosion resistance, hygiene, or chemical stability matter most.
See material group
Castable and corrosion-protective for die-cast parts, coatings, and compact metal components.
See material group
A strong strength-to-density option for demanding technical and weight-sensitive applications.
See material group
Very light and machinable for weight-critical parts, housings, and lightweight structures.
See material groupPlastics
Plastics become attractive when weight, insulation, part cost, or friction behavior are the main design drivers.
Manufacturing services around your material choice
If you want to evaluate material and process together, we also cover the adjacent manufacturing routes in the same workflow.
Useful for early product samples, short runs, and parts that should stay close to the final surface quality.
