CNC Machining of Polymers
CNC machining is a very versatile manufacturing process. In addition to being able to machine rigid materials such as metals and wood, it is also well suited to machining polymers. CNC machining of plastics is similar in many ways to CNC machining of all other materials. However, there are some key differences between them. These differences include the cutting tools, speeds and feeds, cutting fluids (primarily air), and the surface finish of the manufactured parts.
