We all know that different brands and models of products have different requirements for aluminum shells, specifically in terms of shape, size, and appearance treatment. Those who have been exposed to aluminum shell processing will know that there are two processing processes in the industry, namely CNC processing and die-casting processing. Both are technologies for processing raw materials into expected products, but many people are not very familiar with the differences between the two, Now let‘s take everyone to understand.
The difference between CNC machining and die-casting machining of aluminum casing:
Firstly, there are different processing methods. CNC machining refers to CNC machining, which is precision mechanical processing under computer digital control. Aluminum shells can achieve some extremely special or complex surface treatments under this processing technology, such as oblique cutting, non penetrating pattern or texture carving, punching treatment at the bending point of aluminum shells, and surface treatment of non flat surfaces.
Die casting processing refers to the application of high pressure to molten metal using the inner cavity of a mold to form a surface effect similar to that of a mold.
Secondly, the processing difficulty is different:
CNC machining can be said to complete even the most demanding and difficult details with CNC machining.
Die casting processing can perform some simple punching and pattern forming work, which requires lower costs compared to CNC processing, but cannot perform very complex surface treatments.
In summary, it can be seen that in order to produce and process qualified precision aluminum shells, it is necessary to choose the corresponding processing technology based on its production needs.
Furthermore, considering production costs, when both processing techniques are feasible, it is natural to choose whichever is more convenient and beneficial.
