CNC Plastic Machining

Experienced and Highly Professional CNC Machining for mold making.

CNC Plastic Machining Services

CNC (computer numerical controlled) machining employs automated and high-speed cutting tools to create designs on metals or plastic materials.

 

One benefit of CNC plastic machining is its ability to deal with a wide variety of materials such as mild and stainless steels, magnesium, titanium, and even hard engineered polymers and carbon fiber. Manufacturers have to possess several custom manufacturing techniques to meet clients’ requirements.

Our Plastic CNC Machining Capabilities & Benefits

Plastics are becoming more important in CNC machining every day. It is, without a question, one of the best CNC machining options. It’s employed in a variety of industries, including medical device, aerospace, defense, and military, as well as the electronics industry.

Corrosion-resistant

Why plastic CNC machining is an excellent choice is that it can accommodate tight tolerance measurements and is also corrosion-resistant.

Being Validated

Processing and machining of all parts occur in our completely controlled environment and clean room assembly. Because of its features, plastic CNC machining has got validation in medical devices. It is used heavily in the medical industry for injection mold making.

High-accuracy

CNC machining is preferred over conventional ones. Our CNC machine leaves traditional methods behind in terms of production rate, speed, and accuracy. In the case of CNC machining, skilled employees cut the parts using program software.

Economical

Plastic CNC machining is one of the quickest ways to make prototypes as it doesn't require any mold. It is also very economical. The cost incurred in plastic CNC is comparatively less than in other processes.

Materials used for Precision CNC Mold Making

Precision CNC mold making is a process, as its names suggest, that is used to make parts that are required as standalone components or pieces. This is the reason it is widely used in IVD contract manufacturing. Here are some of the common materials used for precision clean room molding:

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is preferred for its corrosion resistance and strength. Aluminum: Aluminum is generally used because it is lightweight, non-magnetic, easy to machine, has corrosion resistance, and is also not very expensive.

Brass

Brass is used because it is not very expensive, smooth, non-sparking, and has a clear finish

Titanium

It is used mainly because of its corrosion and heat-resistant properties.

Engineered plastic

A very common material used that has replaced other materials very quickly over the last decade is the hospital grade plastic. It's generally used for its strength, lightweight, and inexpensive features.

Basic plastics

They are non-conductive and non-metal raw materials used for machining.

Copper

Copper is also used for durability, versatility, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.

What is CNC Mold Making?

CNC, in industrial applications and automated manufacturing, means Computer Numerical Control. Mold manufacturing is a complicated process that needs significant expertise and experience. 

 

We make use of predictive modeling software, which simulates how the molten material will react after it enters the mold, thus allowing further design enhancements. We then create the first mold using high-quality machining equipment and the customer’s choice of plastic, steel, or aluminum.

 

CNC mold making is a versatile process that can be worked on several materials, including wood, metals, foam, glass, plastic bits, and several other composites. Because of this feature, it is used heavily in manufacturing space such as FOW Mold. We are one of the best providers for CNC machining services. 

Methods Of CNC Plastic Machining

Plastic machining is a process used to remove the layers of material that shape them and form the end product. Here are some of the processes used in CNC plastic machining: 

  • This process must be executed with care and precautions to avoid any mishaps.
  • The operation happens on a lathe that rotates and manipulates workpieces, thereby allowing stationary cutting to remove excess material.
  • The cutting tool is rotated to remove any plastic chips from the stationary workplace in this process.
  • This process gives a smooth finish to the end product

How does CNC machine affect injection mold making

CNC machines are commonly used in the injection overmolding process. Because of their capability of cutting with precision, these machines have enhanced the micro plastic injection mold-making process. 

 

They are used by medical plastic injection molding manufacturers.  They also make the operation less costly when compared with other mold-making processes.

What are CNC Machining Applications

CNC machines provide a variety of benefits – increasing productivity and accuracy while minimizing waste in your operation – but one of the most significant benefits is their adaptability. They may be used to efficiently cut materials in a broad variety of industries and applications, for both home enthusiasts and large-scale manufacturing facilities.

Metal removal industries

The machines are extensively used in industries that help remove metals. The machines help remove excess metal from the raw materials to develop complex parts.

EDM industry

This industry is referred to as a large-scale industry where CNC machining is used to produce cooling holes into the aero blades and other components.

Woodworking industries

The CNC machining centers setup for wood industry usually consist of four units, such as vacuum fixtures, framing, machining bed, suction elements, etc.
