Aluminium solid panels

Perforating, CNC routing, engraving or printing: how patterns are made

Four processes put a pattern into an aluminium panel and they are not interchangeable. Mould punching is fastest and cheapest where the pattern repeats over a large area. CNC routing handles thicker plate and profiled edges. Laser cutting gives the finest detail and smallest internal radii. Engraving and printing leave the panel solid, so they change appearance without giving any ventilation or shading benefit at all.

Perforating, CNC routing, engraving or printing: how patterns are made

Key points

  • Mould punching is the cheapest route for a repeating pattern over a large area
  • CNC routing handles thicker plate and can profile the cut edge in the same operation
  • Laser cutting gives the finest detail and the smallest internal radii
  • Engraving and printing keep the panel solid, so they add no ventilation or shading

The values below are the ones the factory publishes for this range. Anything outside them is quoted against your drawing rather than assumed.
