Wondering how CNC metal fabrication creates outdoor furniture that withstands rain, sun, and heavy use? Here’s our step-by-step process for outdoor table frames:
- CAD Design: Our engineers draft the table frame (e.g., 6-seat rectangular metal base) in CAD, adding precision tolerances (±0.1mm) for stability.
- Material Selection: We choose 6061 aluminum (lightweight, rust-proof) or 304 stainless steel (for coastal areas) and cut raw sheets to size via CNC sawing.
- CNC Laser Cutting: A 1000W laser cutter cuts frame components (legs, crossbars) from the sheet—clean edges, no burrs.
- CNC Press Bending: The press brake bends legs to 85° (slightly angled for anti-tip support) and crossbars to fit the tabletop.
- Welding & Deburring: Automated CNC welders join components; a deburring machine smooths all edges (safe for bare hands).
- Powder Coating: The frame is electrostatically coated (e.g., matte black) and cured at 180°C—creates a scratch-resistant, UV-proof finish.
- Quality Inspection: Each frame is checked with a CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to ensure all dimensions match the CAD design.
Pro Tip: This workflow ensures our outdoor tables support 200kg per leg—perfect for commercial use (e.g., restaurant patios).
