FAQs

PET plastics may not have the same durability as glass or metal, but they excel in terms of energy efficiency, dependability, and eco-friendliness. Additionally, their flexibility allows them to be easily molded into various shapes to suit different requirements.

ABS is an excellent plastic material for CNC machining due to its favorable machinability and dimensional stability. When low friction and high stiffness are needed, POM can be considered as a suitable alternative. Different types of plastics may be more suitable for applications with specific mechanical or aesthetic demands.

Polyethylene Terephthalate offers several benefits as a material, including its shatterproof nature, non-reactivity with food or water, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Its lightweight properties also contribute to cost savings during transportation when utilizing PET packaging.

The pricing for plastic CNC machining is determined by the intricacy and dimensions of the component, along with the specific type of plastic utilized. These factors play a role in determining the appropriate machinery needed, the production time, and the raw material expenses.

We employ advanced machine learning algorithms to precisely estimate the cost of manufacturing any machinable component directly from a CAD file. Our calculations are based on a vast database of CNC machining orders we have fulfilled in the past. To receive a quick quote, all you need to do is upload your CAD file.

PET, which stands for polyethylene terephthalate, is the conventional material used in the production of plastic bottles. This lightweight and flexible material has a long decomposition period due to the inability of bacteria to consume and break down the chemicals present in PET. It takes approximately 450 years for a PET bottle to decompose.
