VT machining offers CNC Punching for 3004 Aluminum (UNS A93004 / EN AW-3004), typically supplied H34. Mg addition makes it stronger than 3003; can-body alloy.
CNC Punching Notes for 3004 Aluminum
3004 Aluminum punches cleanly with standard clearance; minimum hole diameter is about the sheet thickness.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 3004 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.

What surface finish is achievable on 3004 Aluminum with CNC Punching?
Surface finish on 3004 Aluminum is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Punching 3004 Aluminum?
Punching suits 3004 Aluminum sheet roughly 0.5–6 mm thick, with clearance matched to the gauge.
Why is 3004 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Punching?
3004 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Punching. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 3004 Aluminum punching part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Can VT machining make custom 3004 Aluminum parts to my drawing?
Yes. 3004 Aluminum punching is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What is CNC Punching 3004 Aluminum and how is it done?
CNC Punching 3004 Aluminum refers to cNC turret punching shears holes and form features in sheet metal using programmable tooling for fast, repeatable patterns. Applied to 3004 Aluminum — lightweight with excellent machinability — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
