Contact Us!
At Sotek Engineering, we provide high-quality CNC plastic milling services designed to meet the strict requirements of key industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and more.
Using advanced CNC milling technology, we ensure industry-leading precision, consistency, and flexibility in the production of complex plastic components.
What Is CNC Plastic Milling?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) plastic milling is a subtractive manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled tools to remove material from a solid block of plastic, creating intricate and precise components.
CNC milling uses pre-programmed software to cut along multiple axes (X, Y, Z), enabling the production of highly detailed and geometrically complex parts.
The CNC Plastic Milling Process
- Programming: A digital model of the desired part is translated into machine instructions using CAD/CAM software.
- Material Preparation: A plastic workpiece is securely fastened to the machine’s worktable.
- Precision Cutting: Rotating cutting tools remove material from the workpiece to achieve the specified design.
- Multi-Axis Machining: Our advanced CNC machines operate along multiple axes, allowing for the creation of features such as slots, holes, contours, and intricate geometries.
The Materials Used In CNC Plastic Milling
Our CNC milling machines are compatible with a wide range of plastic polymers, each offering unique properties to suit specific applications.
The following are just some of the materials we work with and the qualities they offer:
- Delrin (POM): Ideal for precision components requiring high stiffness and dimensional stability.
- Nylon: Offers excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for mechanical parts.
- Acrylic: Used for optical applications due to its clarity.
- Teflon (PTFE): Provides high chemical resistance and low friction.
- PEEK: Known for its strength and resistance to extreme conditions.
- UHMW Polyethylene: Common in industrial applications for its durability and impact resistance.
