Common Grades Nylon in Machining:
Nylon 6/6: The standard grade. It’s strong, easy to machine, and has a high melting point.
MDS-Filled Nylon: Infused with molybdenum disulfide (a dry lubricant). It’s usually dark grey or black and is even more slippery than standard nylon.
Glass-Filled Nylon: Reinforced with glass fibers to increase stiffness and reduce thermal expansion, though it is more abrasive on cutting tools.
- Good Machinability
- Low Friction & Self-Lubrication
PEEK
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is the heavyweight champion of high-performance plastics in CNC machining. It’s often the go-to choice when metal is too heavy or conductive, but standard plastics would melt or crack under pressure.
Key Characteristics of PEEK
Thermal Stability: It maintains its mechanical properties at temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).
Chemical Resistance: It’s virtually indestructible by common chemicals, fuels, and solvents.
Strength-to-Weight: PEEK offers excellent structural integrity while being significantly lighter than most metals.
Biocompatibility: It is widely used in medical implants because the body doesn’t reject it and it’s radiolucent (invisible on X-rays).
- High Temperature Resistance
- Biocompatibility
- Excellent Dimensional Stability
POM
POM (Polyoxymethylene) is a high‑performance engineering thermoplastic prized for its strength, stiffness, and excellent machinability. It is one of the most popular plastics for CNC machining when precision and durability are required.
POM Applications in CNC Machining:
Mechanical Components: Gears, bushings, bearings, rollers, and pulleys.
Automotive: Fuel system parts, clips, and fasteners.
Industrial Machinery: Precision components in conveyor systems and equipment.
Consumer Products: Durable handles, zippers, and appliance parts.
Electrical Applications: Insulating components due to its dielectric properties.
- Ease of Machining
- Dimensional Stability
- High Rigidity
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance, transparent engineering thermoplastic known for being virtually unbreakable. It offers a rare combination of glass-like clarity and metal-like toughness.
Key Characteristics of PC
High Impact Strength: It is virtually shatterproof, making it significantly tougher than glass or Acrylic.
Clarity: In its natural state, it provides excellent light transmission, though it usually requires post-processing (like polishing) to regain full transparency after being cut.
Heat Resistance: It remains dimensionally stable at higher temperatures (up to approx. 140°C) compared to many other common thermoplastics.
Ductility: It is more pliable than POM, allowing it to absorb energy and deform without snapping.
- High Impact Resistance
- Optical Transparency
- Lightweight
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance fluoropolymer defined by its extreme slipperiness and near-total chemical immunity. It is the material of choice for environments involving aggressive chemicals or where components must slide with minimal resistance.
PTFE Applications in CNC Machining:
Seals & Gaskets: Resistant to chemicals and heat, ensuring reliable sealing.
Bearings & Bushings: Low friction surfaces for smooth movement.
Electrical Insulators: Components in high‑voltage or sensitive electronics.
Medical & Food Processing: Non‑stick, chemically inert parts safe for contact applications.
Industrial Equipment: Linings, spacers, and parts exposed to corrosive environments.
- Extreme Chemical Resistance
- High Temperature Performance
- Electrical Safety
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene (PP) is a lightweight, chemically resistant thermoplastic that can be precisely shaped using CNC machining, making it ideal for durable parts in industries like automotive, medical, and consumer goods.
Key Characteristics of PP in Machining
Extreme Chemical Immunity: It is virtually inert, resisting most acids, bases, and organic solvents, making it a staple for chemical handling.
Low Density & Buoyancy: As one of the lightest thermoplastics, it is ideal for weight-reduction and applications that must float.
Zero Moisture Absorption: Unlike Nylon, it does not swell in humid environments, ensuring it remains stable when submerged.
Impact Toughness: It possesses high elasticity and ductility, allowing it to absorb significant impact without cracking or shattering.
- Easy Welding & Machining
- Lightweight
- Highly Cost-Effective
PMMA(Acrylic)
PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), commonly known as Acrylic, is a popular choice for manufacturing because it combines the clarity of glass with the durability of plastic. In a CNC context, it is known for being highly machinable but requires specific settings to avoid melting or cracking.
Key Characteristics of CNC Machining PMMA
Exceptional Clarity: Once machined and polished, PMMA offers 92% light transmission.
Brittleness: While strong, acrylic is prone to crazing or chipping if the cutting tools are dull or the feed rate is too aggressive.
Heat Sensitivity: PMMA has a relatively low melting point. If the friction from the CNC bit generates too much heat, the material will gum up, stick to the tool, and ruin the finish.
- Superior Optical Clarity
- Excellent Machinability
- Lightweight but Rigid
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
HDPE is a strong, lightweight thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance, chemical resistance, and low moisture absorption. It is easy to machine with CNC tools due to its softness and toughness, producing durable parts without cracking.
Key Characteristics of CNC Machining HDPE
Exceptional Chip Formation: Because it is a soft thermoplastic, HDPE allows for high feed rates. It cuts cleanly and quickly, which reduces wear and tear on your CNC bits.
Zero Water Retention: Unlike many polymers that swell in humid conditions, HDPE is hydrophobic. This ensures that your machined parts maintain their tight tolerances and dimensions regardless of the environment.
- Low-Friction Surface: The material has a naturally low coefficient of friction. In many cases, this eliminates the need for external lubricants during both the machining process and the part’s end-use life.
- High Chemical Stability
- Excellent Machinability
- FDA Food-Grade Certified
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a high-performance engineering plastic valued for its extreme durability. Its exceptionally long molecular chains provide significantly higher impact strength and wear resistance than standard polyethylene.
Typical UHMW Machined Parts
Conveyor and Material Handling: Custom-machined star wheels, belt scrapers, and chain guides that allow products to slide smoothly without wearing down the equipment.
Industrial Wear Parts: Durable bushings, bearings, and thrust washers that function efficiently in dusty or dirty environments without requiring liquid lubrication.
Marine Construction: Large-scale fender panels for docks and rub strips for boat hulls that absorb massive impact energy while resisting salt water.
Food Processing Equipment: Precision sliding blocks and guide rails that meet food-safety standards while standing up to aggressive daily cleaning chemicals.
Mining and Agriculture: Machined liners for chutes and hoppers that prevent wet or abrasive materials from sticking or eroding the metal structure.
- Extreme Wear Resistance
- Excellent Machinability
- Self-Lubricating
Acetal (Delrin) and PEEK are the most popular choices because they are dimensionally stable and cut cleanly without melting.
We use sharp, high-speed tools and specialized coolants to manage heat, as plastic expands much faster than metal.
The machine leaves a matte finish, so parts made of Acrylic or Polycarbonate require secondary vapor or flame polishing to become transparent.
CNC machining is superior because it uses solid, production-grade materials that offer better strength and a smoother surface finish.
Yes, CNC machining is versatile enough for one-off prototypes as well as small-to-medium production runs.
Selection depends on factors like strength, heat resistance, chemical compatibility, and cost. Our engineers can guide you based on your application.
