What Materials Can Be Used For Machined Parts For My Boston, MA Company?
Machined parts can be made from a variety of materials, including metals and plastics. However, some materials are easier to machine than others. Exceptionally hard materials are difficult to puncture with a cutting tool and may cause the tool to shake or vibrate more, thus possibly reducing quality. Extremely soft materials, as well as materials with a low melting point, may warp once coming into contact with the cutting tool. Some of our most common machined part materials are listed below. As always, we are available to discussing the possibility of machining parts with other materials. Just give us a call at 573-646-3996 or connect with us online.
- Metals: Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050 or “aa7050 alloy”), Stainless Steel (303, 304), Magnesium, Titanium, Zinc, Brass, Bronze, Copper
- Plastics: ABS, PC, <a href="PC-ABS, PP, PS, POM, PMMA, PAGF30, PCGF30, Teflon, DHPE, HDPE, PPS, PEEK

What Are the Benefits of Using Machined Parts at My Boston, MA Company?
Machined parts from Roberson Machine Company offer certain advantages that may not be possible with injection molded parts or even 3D printed parts in Boston, MA. Some of the pivotal advantages in Boston, MA include:
Quality
Machined parts can be cut to a very high caliber, based primarily on your Boston, MA company’s tolerances and specifications. This means our CNC machinists can take a little extra time on tight-tolerance pieces and individual aspects to guarantee the finest quality.
Lead Times
Machined parts can be manufactured faster than components made via other manufacturing processes like Boston, MA molding. This is mainly because of to the lack of labor-intensive tooling, being able to bank more on the CAD and CAM software our machinists input into the CNC machines. But the manufacturing procedure itself is also highly efficient – some of our CNC machines have rapid rates of almost 45 yards per minute, although we do not manufacture machined parts at those speeds. The one-step nature of machining and the speed and accuracy of our CNC machines combine to make machined parts some of the fastest to manufacture, reducing lead times for practical rapid prototyping and shorter time-to-market.
Design Freedom
Machined parts can have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This is due to the fact that CNC machines are not subjected to the same restrictions of molding, like tapering and thin walls. Machined parts can be robust and thick, yet their features can be intricate and complex. Although machined parts have some limitations when it comes to, for example, internal sections and deep channels, machining remains the most geometrically flexible production procedure for your Boston, MA production run.
Alterations
Due to the fact that CNC machined parts are made from digital CAD files, it is possible to make alterations throughout the machining procedure, up until the last minute. This is extremely useful during our research and experimental development and prototyping phases, when our engineers or your staff might want to make slight, fractional changes or clarifications to the machined part or develop numerous versions. It also lessens the likelihood of waste, as defective parts are far less likely to be produced.
Strength
Machined parts are cut from solid pieces of material known as blanks, which have normally been cast or extruded. This makes them foundationally strong compared to, say, for example, 3D printed pieces, which can be predominantly flimsier along one axis, where one layer is added atop the next.
Surface Finish
While molding parts deals with surface quality issues like flow lines, jetting, and flash at the parting line, machined parts completely avoid them. With a small amount of post-processing, which is achieved in our value-added services, machined parts can be brought to an extremely high standard regarding surface finish. Machining also gives a better surface finish to 3D printing, even before any secondary service has been started by our machinists. 3D printing leaves visible layer lines on the surface of the part, which then must be smoothed over through chemical treatment or sanding. Machined parts do not produce these layer lines.
No Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Machined parts are cut directly from a blank workpiece, making it cost-effective and possible to order extremely small quantities or even one-off parts. For molded parts, it is necessary to fabricate metal tooling – a process that takes a long time and can be expensive. However, machining with Roberson Machine Company is unique in providing top-quality parts with no MOQ, making it suitable for smaller businesses in Boston, MA, small production runs, and prototyping.

What CNC Machinery is Necessary to Make Machined Parts For My Company in Boston, MA?
The Roberson Machine Company facility is fully stocked with top-of-the-line CNC machinery capable of manufacturing precisely machined parts in a fraction of the time compared to our competitors. Our full range of equipment includes:
- CNC Horizontal Mills
- CNC Vertical Mills
- CNC Horizontal Lathes
All mills use rotary cutting in the subtractive manufacturing process of removing materials from a workpiece, but our CNC mills combine the cutting procedure with the latest computer control to permit rapid and precise production. Our horizontal CNC mills accurately and quickly cut your component material to tight tolerances. Our CNC horizontal milling services revolve around state-of-the-art 3 axis, 4 axis, and 5 axis machines.
Vertical CNC mills feature spindles that are perpendicular to the ground, making them optimal for jobs needing large production runs of moderately intricate parts. While horizontal mills are better suited for more complicated milling jobs, vertical mills are adept in a wide variety of designs for your company’s work plan in Boston, MA.
In contrast to mills, which bank on spinning of the cutting tool, lathes instead rotate the workpiece as material is cut. In comparison to manual lathes, which require a degree of expertise to operate, CNC lathes drastically reduce the probability of human error, as well as the amount of labor. These advantages translate into marked decreases in cost and error rates for you in Boston, MA.
