Plastic Machining

Plastic Machining

Like metal machining, plastic machining is a subtractive process, removing layers of material to form the end product. The process for machining plastics is also similar to metal-  both involving turning, drilling, milling and grinding. However there are several advantages to machining plastics rather than traditional metals, including:

• More economical
• Shorter lead time
• Can trial a design before committing to tooling
• Normally machine dry
• Relatively easier to recycle materials
