POW! From Billet to Buttoned-Up

 

This beauty is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!

 

WHAT'S THIS?

This is an aluminum part that started as a billet, and was machined and given a black anodized finish.

 Two pictures side by side. The upper portion of the left picture shows a circular "puck" of aluminum, and lower portion of the picture shows the finished part after anodization. The right picture shows the part after it has been machined from the puck but before anodization.

The lifecycle of a part. <sniffles> They grow up so fast!

THAT'S COOL!

We can see the transition from billet (top of left picture) to machined (right picture) to black anodized and laser marked finished part (bottom of left picture).

This part was machined form solid billet using one of our 5-axis machines, which reduces setup time (and cost!) and improves dimensional accuracy of the final part.

Using the right machine for the job can make all the difference between getting it close and getting it right. EMI has 40+ CNC machines to get your project done right.
