Material Groups

Aluminum

6061, 6082, 7075

Lightweight turned and milled parts, UAV components, spacers, sleeves, and brackets.

Stainless Steel

304, 316, 316Ti and similar grades

Corrosion-resistant components where burr behavior, thread quality, and surface finish matter.

Carbon and Alloy Steel

S235JR, 40Cr, 42CrMo and similar grades

Strength-critical and wear-related parts, including components that may need heat treatment or coating review.

Brass, Copper and Bronze

Brass, copper and bronze alloys

Fittings, adapters, bushings, electrical or fluid-control related components.

Engineering Plastics

POM, PEEK, PC and similar functional plastics

Functional plastics that require attention to clamping, deformation, burrs, and dimensional stability.
