A B S T R A C TThe wide variety of composite materials based on carbon fiber has come to revolutionize the material industry, largely replacing metallic materials such as aluminum and steel alloys mainly used in the aerospace industry. This study was performed a machining procedure for an orthogonal symmetric balanced composite and a comparative analysis of the structural behavior into flexion between the aluminum 6061 T6 and a composite material. The analyzed materials were tested by three procedures; calculation, finite element analysis (ANSYS) and experimentation (extensiometry). According to our results, the best machining methods were to use a saw cutter or the CNC Haas machine with the help of the aluminum fixture, due to cutting process did not make any damage to composite material.
