3D Printing vs CNC Aluminum: Why Material Matters
While 3D-printed enclosures offer customization and are accessible for hobbyists, they fall short when it comes to structural precision, aesthetics, and thermal efficiency. 3D-printed materials tend to degrade over time, exhibit visible layer lines, and often provide weaker support and airflow.
By contrast, the CNC aluminum build of the MacForge Gen2 ensures long-term durability, premium appearance, and excellent heat dissipation. It feels solid, looks professional, and delivers a level of quality that aligns with the Mac mini M4's powerful capabilities.
