Produce accurate, high volume, plastic components using our CNC router service
Computer numerically controlled (CNC) routing is for cutting CNC tool paths to your desired geometrical shape and size. This is supplied in a STEP or CAD file and uses using a subtractive machining process.
IPFL have a large capacity of the latest high-speed CNC Routing machines, built for larger format industrial machining. These allow us to provide you with precise CNC routing and makes us experts in plastic routing. We produce highly accurate quality components, in a variety of plastics including: Acrylic, Polycarbonate, Acetal, PTFE, SRBP.
Our dedicated team are on hand for design optimisation of your CAD file. We will help guide you on the most efficient process and material for your plastic components if you require it.
Simply supply your design in a STEP or CAD file for the subtractive machining process to do its work.
CNC routing is a computer-controlled cutting process that sculpts flat or three-dimensional parts from sheet or block material with extreme accuracy. A digital file—your CAD model or even a quick prototype sketch—drives a high-speed spindle along X, Y and Z axes, carving complex profiles, pockets, slots and engraved features in a single setup. Because the router follows the exact tool-path every time, you get repeatable tolerances, clean edges and smooth surface finishes without manual trimming.
At IPFL we use CNC routing as part of our wider plastic CNC machining service to turn concept ideas into production-ready parts fast. Whether you need one-off prototype projects for proof-of-concept or a short production run of precision panels, gaskets, housings or microfluidic manifolds, our routers handle everything from lightweight foams and acrylics to tough engineering plastics such as PEEK, Ultem and polycarbonate. Coupled with our five-axis milling, turning and laser-cutting cells, CNC routing lets us deliver tight deadlines, competitive pricing and the consistent quality our customers in aerospace, med-tech and electronics demand.

IPFL supplies mission-critical plastic components to a wide cross-section of industries—including medical devices, pharmaceutical processing, aerospace systems, automotive assemblies, security hardware, and high-fidelity audio-broadcast equipment—by drawing on more than five decades of CNC routing and precision plastics expertise. Our dedicated CNC routing service turns digital designs into high-quality parts quickly and repeatably, whether you need a single prototype or a full production batch. Because the entire process is computer-controlled, every cut, pocket, and chamfer is reproduced within tight tolerances, giving you the dimensional accuracy required for implantable medical fixtures, clean-room pharmaceutical manifolds, lightweight aerospace brackets, and ruggedised automotive sensor housings.
From the moment you submit a CAD file, our applications engineers collaborate with you to refine geometries, choose the right engineering plastics—PEEK, Ultem, acrylic, polycarbonate, and more—and optimise tool paths that shorten cycle times and reduce overall CNC routing service cost. The result is a streamlined workflow that keeps development on schedule for universities engaged in advanced research, defence and security contractors who cannot compromise on quality, and product-development teams racing to launch new technologies. By integrating CNC routing with our in-house five-axis milling, turning, laser cutting, and bonding capabilities, we can deliver everything from micro-fluidic channels for scientific instrumentation to large, high-volume enclosure panels without the delays of multi-supplier logistics.
