Explore Our Range of Machinable Plastics
Choosing the right material is critical. We machine a diverse portfolio of plastics to meet your specific needs for strength, chemical resistance, temperature stability, and cost.
Excellent impact resistance, high strength, good stiffness, good Paintability and machinability, low cost.popular for prototyping
High-performance thermoplastic, very high strength, thermal and chemical resistant. Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity,low friction coefficient.
Superior impact and creep resistance, high strength and stiffness, low coefficient, excellent machinability, dimensional stability, low moisture absorption.
Excellent chemical and weather resistance, good toughness, easy to weld and machine; durable.
Extremely low friction; high heat resistance; chemically inert.
Optically transparent; UV resistant; good weatherability; brittle. Transparent rigid plastic often used as a substitute for glass.
Your Partner for Complex Plastic Parts
We combine state-of-the-art equipment with rigorous processes to deliver quality and consistency from one-off prototypes to full-scale production runs.
Precision Tolerances
We hold tight tolerances as low as +/- 0.005” (0.127 mm), ensuring your parts meet exact specifications, including complex GD&T callouts.
Extensive Material Selection
Beyond the common plastics, we machine a full range including PVC, PTFE (Teflon), Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, and more.
Superior Surface Finishes
We provide a range of finishes for plastic parts, including as-machined, bead blasting, flame polishing, and vapor polishing for a smooth, clean aesthetic.
Rapid Turnaround Time
Leveraging 200+ machines across our facilities, we deliver standard parts in as fast as 7 working days, with expedited options available.
Matching the Right Process to Your Part
Our CNC plastic machining services are not one-size-fits-all. We select the optimal process based on your part’s geometry, complexity, and volume requirements.
CNC Turning (Lathes)
Ideal for parts with cylindrical features. Material is rotated while a cutting tool shapes the exterior and interior.
- Shafts, Pins, and Rods
- Rings and Bushings
- High-volume production
3-Axis CNC Milling
The most common process for machining parts with simpler geometries where the tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes.
- Brackets and Plates
- Housings and Enclosures
- Most standard machined parts
5-Axis CNC Milling
Allows for machining of highly complex shapes in a single setup by moving the tool and/or part on five different axes.
- Organic & complex geometries
- Medical and aerospace parts
- Maximum accuracy and efficiency
Frequently Asked Questions
Plastics machining refers to the fabrication of plastics parts or products by CNC plastics machines. It is a controlled subtractive manufacturing process for cutting raw materials into a desired final size and shape. It involves milling machines, lathes, drill presses, and other CNC machines.
You can make a variety of plastics parts and products with CNC machines, from small bolts and nuts to large automotive, aerospace and defense industry parts and more.
With CNC machines, you can also create plastics artwork through etching and engraving processes.
There is really no fixed cost for plastics CNC machining. The cost range depends largely on factors such as the number of parts to be machined, their construction, materials, processes and tight tolerances.
Although there is no fixed cost reference, there are quite a few ways to reduce the cost of CNC machining, such as choosing the right materials and machining methods.
