What is CNC Plastic Machining?

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and is a process primarily used in the manufacturing space that involves computer use for handling machining tools. CNC machining is the practice of milling and turning of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. There are machining services for brass, iron, copper, plastic, steel, aluminum, or other metals. Fine metals including silver, gold and platinum are also handled by the service providers.

The Demand for CNC Plastic Machining

Plastics have become a more widely used medium as an alternative to metal machining and CNC plastic machining has taken off in many industries. At JBC Machine we deliver precision results using this machining process. It involves creating designs that include sophisticated niches and angles that meet product specifications regardless of the batch order size.

When dealing with a malleable substance like plastic, engineers are faced with many challenges. These include the unusual shape that the plastic may need to be machined into, tolerances that may affect the plastic and quantity to be produced. Our industry experts in procurement and design of plastics make sure the prototypes come out right with high precision and tight tolerance.

Industries that use CNC Plastic Machining

Expertly machined plastics are requested by a variety of customers in many industries such as aerospace, medicine, hydraulics, space, electronics and even food. This is because machining oftentimes makes more sense than molding and machining allows plastic to be utilized to maximize its characteristics and intricacies.
