Plastic for machining

Plastic machined parts are a great alternative to metal parts as they are lightweight, easier to machine and often less expensive. Using CNC machining to produce plastic parts remains a top choice for engineers and product teams, given its compatibility with a wide range of plastics. Each type of plastic comes with its own strengths and weaknesses for CNC machining applications. See our available materials above.

What is machining plastic?

Plastic machining is a manufacturing process that involves cutting unwanted geometry from a raw block of plastic, bit by bit with a computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling tool, very precisely and allows complex parts to be produced with great accuracy.
How much does plastic CNC machining cost?

The cost of plastic CNC machining depends on the complexity and size of the part as well as the type of plastic that is used. These variables will influence the type of machine that is required, the time it takes to produce the part, and the cost of the raw material.

We use machine learning algorithms to calculate the exact cost of any machinable part directly from a CAD file, based on millions of CNC machining orders we’ve previously processed.
What plastic is best for machining?

ABS is a great general-purpose plastic for CNC machining as it has good machinability and dimensional stability. For applications that require low friction and high stiffness, POM is a viable option. Other plastics can be good choices for applications that have more particular requirements such as specific mechanical or aesthetic properties.
