Important Technical Notes
- Bending is recommended only for material thickness ≤ 5 mm.
- Carbon fiber, Acrylic, and Wood variants cannot be bent.
- 3D printing materials (PLA, ABS, etc.) are not compatible with cutting processes.
- Aluminum 6061-T6 is the standard choice for high-precision CNC machining.
