Can Wyntek machine aluminium prototypes?

Yes. Wyntek supports aluminium prototype and small-batch machining from uploaded CAD.

What file is best for aluminium CNC machining?

STEP is preferred. Include notes for material, finish, threads, critical dimensions, and quantity.

When should I choose aluminium CNC instead of 3D printing?

Choose aluminium CNC when stiffness, heat, threads, surface finish, tolerance, or production material behavior matter to the test.

CUT ALUMINIUM. KEEP THE DATUM.

When plastic prototypes stop answering the question, aluminium machining gives teams real stock material, cleaner interfaces, and production-intent surfaces.

WORKFLOW

FROM FILE TO PART

STEP 01
Send STEP
Upload STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, F3D, or DXF with material, quantity, and critical dimensions.
STEP 02
Review setup
The lab checks stock, tool access, setups, threads, tolerance risk, and finish requirements.
STEP 03
Machine
Mills and lathes cut the part from aluminium stock with progress visible online.
STEP 04
Inspect
Every part is scanned and inspected before dispatch, then packed and shipped.

Use aluminium when material behavior matters

Printed plastic is useful, but it will not prove heat transfer, machined threads, stiffness, wear, or final-material assembly behavior. Aluminium closes that gap.

Tolerances should follow function

Call out the holes, faces, threads, and mating dimensions that matter. Over-specifying every surface increases cost without improving the prototype.
