How to choose the plastic material used for your CNC Machining Parts?

CNC machined plastics are widely used in every major industry from construction to automotive. Listed below are the types of plastics that we offers for on-demand custom manufacturing. You can learn more about specific material properties and applications on each page.

 

HDPE CNC Machining:

HDPE stands for high density polyethylene. It is naturally opaque, due to its crystalline structure, with a waxy finish but is also commercially available in a black dyed finish. 

Despite its name, HDPE is the least dense plastic Fictiv offers, and it also has excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and a slippery surface. It offers a low coefficient of friction and good low temperature impact resistance. It is an overall affordable, durable choice for CNC machined plastic parts.

Nylon(PA6) CNC Machining:

Nylon is a good material for cnc plastic machining instead of mild steels, iron, copper and other metals, is an important engineering plastic; cast nylon is widely used to replace the wear-resistant parts of machinery and equipment, instead of copper and alloy for the wear-resistant parts of equipment.

Suitable for making wear-resistant parts, transmission structure parts, household appliance parts, automobile manufacturing parts, filament preventing mechanical parts, chemical machinery parts, chemical equipment. This material has good machinability so is widely used for cnc machining.

Polypropylene(PP) CNC Machining:

Polypropylene has small density, rigid strength, hardness and heat resistance are better than low-pressure polyethylene, and can be used at about 100 degrees. It is widely used in the production of clothing, blankets and other fiber products, medical equipment, automobiles, bicycles, parts, transport pipes, chemical containers, etc. It is also used in food and pharmaceutical packaging.
