Machined vs. Cast Aluminum: Which Truly Costs Less Over the Product Lifecycle?
Machined and cast aluminum cannot be compared by unit price alone. The economical route depends on quantity, geometry, alloy and temper, tolerances, mechanical-property requirements, tooling life, secondary machining, finishing, inspection, scrap risk, and the likelihood of a design revision. CNC machining usually has lower dedicated-tooling commitment and faster revision cycles,
