For cutting 3mm ally use a vice, hacksaw and files, thats it. I have a milling machine and a scroll saw but wouldnt dream of using that to cut shapes out of thin ally, you can very quickly bend it and end up starting again. Below are some parts I made in 3mm using a vice, hacksaw and a few files. Its not hard, just take your time and do a good job
(some parts are 6mm but i cut that the same way)
