Plastic Machining Capabilities

• Advantages of CNC Plastic Machining

Plastics are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and often more cost-effective than metals. They offer good electrical insulation and can be colored easily.  The softness of plastic reduces the machining cycle time and the tool wear. Meanwhile, machining stability allows for complex and intricate details via milling, turning, drilling, tapping, grooving, and other suitable operations.

• What we do to make Plastic Machining Perfect

Our machining factory has 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC lathes and a machining center that can process various thermoplastics and thermosets with a precision of  ±0.005mm. We handle ABS, PC, PE, PMMA, and other plastics based on your requirements. Furthermore, we also have post-processing and finishing facilities to enhance the surface quality according to your application needs.

You can trust our experience in handling any machined plastic components!

Plastic Machining Finishes

The custom CNC Plastic machining parts can be finished using different techniques to achieve specific surface properties and appearance. At ProleanTech, we have various surface finishing options, tailored to your needs.

As Machined:
The as-machined finish retains the machining marks, but it can be enough where the aesthetic is not required or finish quality does affect the functionality and performance. It is quick and cost-effective.

Bead Blast:
Glass or other less aggressive beads are suitable for plastic machining parts. It removes the imperfections and makes a uniform surface texture by removing a thin material layer.

Painting:
The good adhesive nature of plastic easily accepts the layer of paint to the surface of the plastic part, either for aesthetic reasons or to add protective coatings—glossy and protection against UV light, chemicals, and wear.

Brushing:
The abrasive brush rotates and removes the imperfection and burrs to create a uniform texture, providing a satin-like appearance.

CNC Plastic Applications

Automotive

Plastic machining in automotive is used for lightweight and corrosion-resistant complex and precise plastic components, which enhance fuel efficiency and durability. Examples; door handles, interior parts, bumpers, dashboard, fender liners, and lighting components.

Aerospace

The high strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability of plastics ensure reliable, lightweight components for aerospace applications like electrical insulation parts, control knobs, and levers, aircraft windows, panels, bearings, seals, etc.

Defense

Plastic’s strength, durability, impact resistance, and lightweight can be converted into precise functional parts with exact specifications for defense equipment and navigation systems using CNC machining, such as armor parts, UAV parts, communication device housings, and radar systems.

Electronics

The electrical insulation, strength, and lightweight of plastics make them perfect for various detailed electronic components and enclosures, such as circuit board elements, connectors, sockets, insulation barriers, mounting brackets, LCD screens,  etc.

Medical

Biocompatible and sterilizable plastics allow precise, custom medical devices and implants tailored to patient needs.

General Applications

Plastic machining offers durability, precision, versatility, cost-effectiveness, and precision, suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer products; kitchen tools, industrial parts, toys, and low-friction strips for conveyors.
