The choice of material is a critical component in determining the overall functionality and cost of your part: the designer specifies the material characteristics that are most important for the design – hardness, rigidity, chemical resistance, heat treatability and thermal stability just to name a few. Microtec have a wide variety of metals and plastic materials as well as other custom materials available on request.

Metals – As a general rule, softer metals like aluminum and brass, as well as plastics, machine easily and will require less time to remove material from the part blank, which in turn reduces machining time and cost. Harder materials like stainless steel and carbon steel must be machined with slower spindle RPM’s and machine feed rates, which would increase the cycle times versus the softer materials. As a general rule, aluminum will machine about 4 times faster than carbon steel, and stainless steel will machine half as fast as carbon steel.

Plastics – Plastic material can be a less expensive alternative to metals if the design does not require the rigidity of metal. Polyethylene is easy to machine, and it is about 1/3 the cost of aluminum. In general terms, ABS is about 1 ½ times the cost of Acetal, Nylon and Polycarbonate are approximately 3 times the cost of Acetal. Although plastics could be a cost-effective material alternative, keep in mind that depending on the geometry, tight tolerances can be harder to hold with plastics and the parts could warp after machining because of the stress created when material is removed.
