Types of Plastic for CNC Machining
CNC machined plastics are widely used in every major industry from construction to automotive. Listed below are the types of plastics that ALF Industries offers for on-demand custom manufacturing. You can learn more about specific material properties and applications on each page.
Machining Plastics Offered
CNC plastics are versatile and can be utilized for a wide array of components, ranging from prototypes and engineering models to final-use parts. Although machining plastics can present challenges, their lightweight nature and density, combined with straightforward geometries, can often make them a more viable option compared to 3D printing or injection molding. Many of the materials listed below boast exceptional durability, high fatigue resistance, chemical inertness, and effective shock absorption. Additionally, some plastics, like ABS, are general-use materials that are easier to machine, making them ideal for budget-friendly design testing. Depending on your project's requirements, machined plastic could be the optimal choice for your custom parts. Delve into our materials further below.
