Magnesium is the lightest structural metal available, approximately 33% lighter than aluminum and 75% lighter than steel. This unparalleled strengthtoweight ratio offers engineers the ability to design parts that significantly reduce overall system mass, leading to enhanced fuel efficiency in aerospace, greater agility in robotics, and improved powertoweight ratios in racing. Beyond its lightness, magnesium boasts excellent damping capacity, machinability, and good thermal conductivity.

However, machining magnesium requires specific expertise. Its high reactivity necessitates strict safety protocols to manage fine chips and dust, while its softness demands precise tooling and fixturing strategies to achieve optimal surface finishes and dimensional stability. Our advanced CNC facilities are equipped with dedicated systems for magnesium, ensuring safe, efficient, and precise manufacturing. We employ optimal cutting parameters, specialized tool geometries, and proper coolant applications to prevent ignition risks and achieve flawless results.

From complex aerospace brackets and drone frames to essential surgical instrument housings and satellite components, our fullservice approach covers everything from material sourcing and precision CNC machining to finishing, quality inspection, and global logistics. We partner with clients through the entire designformanufacturability (DFM) process, ensuring that the benefits of magnesium are fully realized without compromising on safety, quality, or performance.

Choosing our CNC machining services for your magnesium parts means partnering with experts dedicated to pushing the boundaries of lightweight engineering.
