Composite is commonly known as combination of two or more elements, natural or artificial, that are stronger as a whole than individually. Therefore, it is essential to know how to cut Composite.
Specifically, an aluminium composite (sometimes known by the brand names Dibond and Alucobond) is a multilayer panel composed of two aluminium sheets, usually lacquered and glued to a core of polyethylene, a material with good thermal, acoustic and fireproof qualities. The bonding is achieved by means of a chemical and mechanical action, giving the product an extraordinary resistance.
Lightweight, recyclable and a great thermal and acoustic insulator, Aluminium Composite has become a material used in many sectors, especially in construction, interior design and outdoor furniture.
To cut Composite or machine it from aluminium in a professional way you need a CNC milling machine like TEC-CAM Motion milling machine. Manufactured by Pérez Camps in Spain with high-quality European components, it is an optimised production system on a single machine. It offers a perfect balance between performance and precision.
It has a smoother torque, which makes this router CNC effective for cutting composite materials such as composite, foam and carbon fibre, among others. It has up to 1.5G of force, as well as the speed and power to cut quickly and efficiently.
In the following video you can see how the CNC milling machine TEC-CAM Motion milling machine machines aluminium composite to create a 3 millimetre wide Dibond box. To do this, remember that you will need the ideal tools for your milling machine.
