Aluminum Machined and Anodized Prototype
Project Overview:
CNC coarse machining by big and strong tools to fast remove the unwanted material, till fine and precise machining by gradually smaller tools.
For 3 axis CNC milling, the workpiece was rotated manually and positioned accurately to mill the part side by side, milling tolerance ± 0.05 mm.
CNC customized fixtures were applied to assist milling for high efficiency and tolerance. One deep hole was bored as it was out of milling capability.
The CNC machined prototype prior to surface finishing. All cutting lines and burrs on the surface were removed by sanding and beadblasting.
Final surface finishing of aluminum anodizing. The anodized film provided aesthetic feeling, also the corrosion and abrasion resistance to the part.
The CNC aluminum milled and anodized dark blue prototype not only worked great, also looked great for its consistent color, gloss and texture.
