The best-looking keyboards are probably machined with CNC routers. Often you can find ready-to-use CNC cases – most likely for 60% layouts. Aluminum alloy 6063 is the most popular material for this application. In fact, you can add any color you like to anodized aluminum parts.
Solution
Step 1: The CAD model was examined and transformed into a CNC-compatible format with the software AutoCAD.
Step 2: A most suitable type of CNC machine was chosen according to the complexity of the product design and the cost of the workpiece.
Step 3: Certain operations were configured and the G-codes were input on the machine. The workpiece was mounted on the machine as well.
Step 4: The workpiece got shaped and the holes were drilled automatically. It would be inspected during and after the machining process for quality assurance.
Step 5: The aluminum alloy part was placed in the electrolyte solution for electrification treatment, and an aluminum oxide film was formed on the surface
