Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to rough edges.Employ sharp, metal-specific cutting blades and blades designed for aluminum to achieve clean, smooth cuts.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction during processing.Allow for slight tolerance adjustments during cutting and fabrication to accommodate thermal expansion or contraction, especially in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • Fabrication of custom parts
  • Prototyping
  • Model building

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating aluminum.
