Frequently Asked Questions
What engineering plastics do you commonly machine?
We commonly machine POM (Delrin), PEEK, Nylon (PA), PTFE, Polycarbonate (PC), UHMW-PE, and other engineering plastics based on project requirements.
Which engineering plastic is best for CNC machining?
It depends on the application. POM offers excellent machinability and dimensional stability, PEEK performs well in high-temperature and chemically demanding environments, while Nylon provides good strength and wear resistance.
What tolerances can you achieve on plastic parts?
Achievable tolerances depend on the material, part geometry, feature size, and environmental stability. Tighter tolerances are available for suitable critical features.
Can you machine thin-wall plastic parts?
Yes. Thin-wall plastic parts can be machined with appropriate tooling, workholding, and cutting parameters to reduce deformation, vibration, and heat buildup.
What secondary operations are available for machined plastic parts?
Available options include as-machined finishes, polishing, thread inserts, laser marking, and other secondary operations depending on the material and application.
Do you provide material certificates for engineering plastics?
Material certificates and documentation can be provided for selected engineering plastics upon request, subject to supplier availability and project requirements.
