Plastic Materials for CNC Machining

As a custom CNC machining manufacturer, we apply a variety of plastic materials to create components from low-volume prototyping to mass production. Here is a brief introduction to the properties and applications of the common plastic materials used in CNC machining for your reference: ABS, PC, PMMA, POM, Nylon, PEEK, and HDPE. If you need any guidance, the Beska team is glad to help you to select the best plastic for your machining project.

ABS

If you are considering cost-effective thermoplastic to create plastic machined part, ABS is an ideal choice. The machined ABS components have a wide application in the industries of automotive, electronics, electrical, and mechanical engineering.

The advantages and applications of ABS:

  • Impact strength;
  • High heat resistance;
  • Machinability;
  • Easy bonding and weldability;
  • Low moisture absorption;
  • Cost-effective.

The applications of ABS machined components:dashboard, housings, handles, interior panelling, etc.

Nylon

Nylon is an engineering material, which has been widely used for CNC machining and 3D printing with good toughness, abrasion resistance, and hardness characteristics.

The advantages of nylon machined parts:

  • Abrasion resistance;
  • Moderately high-temperature resistance;
  • High fatigue resistance

The applications of nylon machined components:gears, wheels, and consumer electronics casings, etc.

PEEK

PEEK is a high-performance engineering material. The PEEK components processed by CNC machining are widely considered as one of the top-list materials in various industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, semiconductor, electronics, chemical, telecommunication, etc. At the same time, PEEK material may be one of the most expensive one.

The advantages and applications of PEEK machined components:

  • Chemical resistance;
  • Heat resistance;
  • Impact strength;
  • Abrasion resistance;
  • Low moisture absorption rate;
  • Biodegradation resistance;

The applications of PEEK machined components: bearings, washers, bushings, seals, medical implants, piston parts, rings, and so on.
