CNC Machined Plastic Services

What is Plastic Machining?

Plastic machining is the subtractive process of turning raw polymer sheet, rod or block into precise, ready-to-use parts. Using computer-numerical-control (CNC) mills, lathes, routers and drills, we cut, shape and refine plastics with micron-level accuracy—far tighter than manual methods can achieve. Because the toolpaths are driven directly from your CAD file, every cavity, thread, gasket groove or micro-fluidic channel is reproduced exactly the same, whether you need a single prototype or a full production run.

How CNC fits in
CNC plastic machining services automate each step. High-speed spindles follow programmed coordinates to perform turning, milling, drilling, routing and sawing without operator error, giving you clean edges, consistent surface finishes and repeatable tolerances. The result is faster lead times, lower scrap rates and parts that are “right first time.”

Materials we machine

• Thermoplastics—ABS, acrylic, nylon, polycarbonate, acetal (Delrin®), PTFE, Ultem®, PEEK and many more. These polymers can be melted, reshaped and welded, making them ideal for prototype projects and short-run production.

• Thermosets—epoxy, phenolic and fibre-reinforced composites. Once cured they become dimensionally stable, heat-resistant and impossible to remelt, perfect for high-temperature electrical and structural applications.

Why choose plastic CNC machining over molding?
Injection molds are cost-effective only at high volumes; CNC machining eliminates tooling costs, accelerates development and allows rapid design changes. You get finished plastic parts—with threads, undercuts and complex geometries—within days, not weeks.
