Custom Plastic designed for machining services

Plastic machined components offer a favorable option to metal components due to their lightweight nature, ease of machining, and cost-effectiveness. Engineers and product teams often prefer using CNC machining for producing plastic parts because it is compatible with various types of plastics. It is important to consider the specific strengths and weaknesses of each plastic material when using CNC machining. Please refer to the list of available materials provided above.

FAQs

Plastic machining is a precise way of manufacturing. It involves using a CNC milling tool to remove unwanted shapes from a plastic block. This method allows for the creation of detailed and precise parts.

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.

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.
