ABS 1

Acrylic, also known as PMMA or Plexiglas,  is the chemical name of polymethyl methacrylate.It is with good transparency, chemical stability, and weather resistance, easy to dye, easy to process, and beautiful appearance, in the construction industry and has a wide range of applications.

PMMA

polyoxymethylene is also known abbreviated as POM-C. It is usually the polymer of formaldehyde polymerization, the polymerization degree is not high, and easy to thermal depolymerization. POM is a strong, low-friction plastic ideal for gears, bearings, automotive parts, and precision mechanical components.

POM

PC (Polycarbonate) is a strong, impact-resistant plastic with high transparency and heat resistance, widely used in eyewear lenses, electronics, automotive parts, and safety equipment. is colorless and transparent, heat resistant, impact resistant, flame retardant BI grade, and has good mechanical properties within the common use temperature.

PC

PP (Polypropylene) is a versatile, lightweight, chemical-resistant plastic commonly used in packaging, automotive parts, textiles, and consumer goods due to its durability and flexibility.and due to its semi-crystalline property it possesses a high flexural strength.

PP

PA (Polyamide or Nylon) is a strong, wear-resistant plastic with good chemical resistance, commonly used in gears, bearings, automotive parts, and industrial machinery components. It has advantages when manufactured via CNC machining. Nylon has excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties when cut from solid stock.However, it is precisely its high hygroscopicity that causes it to swell.

How much does a plastic prototype cost

The cost of plastic CNC machining depends on the complexity and size of the part as well as the type of plastic that is used. These variables will influence the type of machine that is required, the time it takes to produce the part, and the cost of the raw material.

Plastic machining is a manufacturing process that involves cutting unwanted geometry from a raw block of plastic, bit by bit with a computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling tool, very precisely and allows complex parts to be produced with great accuracy.

We serve a variety of industries including medical device, automotive, lighting, aerospace, technology, consumer product, and electronics.

The primary driver for choosing a China CNC machining manufacturer is the cost advantage. This is not merely about cheaper labor; it is about the integrated supply chain found in manufacturing hubs like Shenzhen. Local shops in the US or Europe face high operational .

We can accept native SolidWorks (.sldprt) or ProE (.prt) files as well as solid 3D CAD models from other CAD systems output in IGES (.igs), STEP (.stp), or Parasolid (.x_t or .x_b) format. We can also accept .stl files. 2D drawings can be submitted with your 3D CAD file.
