Precision aluminum forged parts designed for robotic systems, automation equipment, and high-cycle industrial applications
Offering superior fatigue resistance compared to die casting and lower overall cost than full CNC machining
Typical Forged Components for Robotics & Automation
Thanks to the fatigue resistance and lightweight properties of forged aluminum alloy components
Bicycle manufacturers require lightweight, fatigue-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing anodized components
Advantages:
Lightweight Without Sacrificing Strength
Forged aluminum offers higher strength-to-weight ratio than CNC or casting.Perfect for Anodized Surface Finishing
No porosity, ensuring smooth and consistent anodized appearance.Designed for Dynamic Load & Fatigue
Ideal for pedaling forces, vibration, and long-term riding durability.
Forging is widely used for automotive load-bearing components where strength, reliability, and cost control are critical.
Forging
Best fatigue resistance, stable mechanical properties, ideal for dynamic motion systems
Forging creates near-net-shape blanks, while CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and assembly accuracy
Benefits:
Reduced machining time
Lower material waste
Improved overall cost efficiency

Custom Tooling and Die Development
When Forging May Not Be the Right Choice
Parts Better Suited for CNC Machining
- Aluminum forging may not be ideal for parts that require extremely complex geometries, deep internal cavities, or frequent design changes.
- For low-volume production or highly customized components, CNC machining offers greater flexibility without tooling investment.
Limitations of Aluminum Forging
- While aluminum forging provides excellent strength and reliability, it does have certain limitations.
- Initial die development is required, making forging less economical for very small batch sizes or prototype-only projects.
Choosing the Right Manufacturing Process
- Forging, CNC machining, and die casting each serve different purposes.
