Copper CNC machining
Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity Copper offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, it's often used for busbars, wire connectors, and other electrical applications. Copper has a glossy reddish-orange appearance.
| Advantage | shortcoming |
| 1. Excellent Conductivity | 1.Copper is a relatively soft metal compared to some other materials. |
| 2. Exhibits excellent thermal conductivity | |
| 3. High Corrosion Resistance | 2.Copper can oxidize over time, leading to the formation of a patina. While this is not always a disadvantage, in some applications where the appearance is critical, the oxidation of copper may be undesirable. |
| 4. Easy to machine | |
| 3.Copper has lower strength compared to some other metals, which may limit its use in high-stress applications. | |

| Copper Alloy 101 (Oxygen-Free Electronic Copper or OFE Copper) | Known for its high electrical conductivity and minimal oxygen content, making it suitable for electronic applications. |
| Copper Alloy 110 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch or ETP Copper) | A common choice for general-purpose applications, including electrical components and architectural uses. |
| Copper Alloy 145 (Tellurium Copper) | Contains small amounts of tellurium, which improves machinability without significantly compromising electrical conductivity. Used for CNC machining of intricate parts. |
| Copper Beryllium (Alloy 25 or C17200) | Known for its high strength, hardness, and electrical conductivity. Used in aerospace, electronics, and precision instrument components. |
| Copper Nickel 90/10 and 70/30 | Contain varying percentages of copper and nickel, providing excellent corrosion resistance in marine environments. Used for marine and offshore applications. |
FAQ
How to CNC mill copper?
To get CNC-machined copper parts from Hubs, upload your CAD (.STL) files onto the platform and use the quote builder to get your parts into production.
How much does CNC machining copper cost?
The cost of CNC machining Copper depends on the complexity and size of the part and the type of Copper. These variables will affect the type of machine that is required, the time it takes to produce the part, and the cost of the raw material.
We use machine learning algorithms to calculate the exact cost of any machinable part directly from a CAD file, based on millions of CNC machining orders we’ve previously processed. Simply upload a CAD file to get an instant CNC machining quote.
