Frequently Asked Questions

 What is CNC machining for plastics?

CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process where computer-controlled tools cut, drill, and shape plastic blocks into precise components. It’s ideal for prototyping, custom parts, and low-volume production.

Which plastics are best suited for CNC machining?
  • Engineering Plastics: ABS, Nylon (PA), PEEK, Polycarbonate (PC).
  • Commodity Plastics: Acrylic (PMMA), HDPE, PTFE (Teflon®).
What are the advantages of CNC machining over injection moulding for plastics?
  • No Tooling Costs: Ideal for prototypes/small batches.
  • Tighter Tolerances: ±0.05–0.1mm precision.
  • Material Flexibility: No melting required (good for heat-sensitive plastics).
What industries use CNC-machined plastic parts?
  • Medical: Surgical tools, device housings.
  • Automotive: Lightweight brackets, sensor mounts.
  • Aerospace: Insulation panels, drone components.
  • Electronics: Custom enclosures, connectors.
Can CNC machining create complex geometries in plastics?

Yes. 5-axis CNC machines produce intricate shapes like undercuts, threads, and internal channels unachievable with molding.

 What surface finishes are available for CNC-machined plastics?
  • As-Machined: Standard finish.
  • Polished: For optical clarity (acrylic).
  • Bead Blasting: Matte texture.
  • Painting/Coating: Aesthetic or protective layers.
 How does material choice impact CNC machining results?
  • Brittle Plastics (e.g., Acrylic): Require slower speeds to prevent cracking.
  • Soft Plastics (e.g., HDPE): Need sharp tools to avoid burrs.
 What’s the typical lead time for CNC-machined plastic parts?
  • Prototypes: 3–5 days.
  • Production Runs: 1–3 weeks (depends on complexity and quantity).
Is CNC machining cost-effective for small plastic parts?

Yes. No mold costs make it economical for 1–500 units, especially for high-precision or custom designs.

What file formats do you need for CNC machining?

Standard formats include STEP, IGES, or STL (for 3D models).
