Top 5 Engineering Plastics for CNC Machining

Choosing the right plastic material is crucial for product performance. At PlasticHubs, we work with a wide range of engineering plastics to meet the exact needs of every client.

Here are the top five materials we recommend for CNC machining:

  1. PMMA (Acrylic): Offers excellent optical clarity, perfect for transparent components.
  2. ABS: Strong, durable, and easy to machine — ideal for prototypes.
  3. Polycarbonate: High impact resistance, suitable for industrial and electronic housings.
  4. POM (Delrin): Excellent dimensional stability and low friction — great for mechanical parts.
  5. PEEK: A high-performance plastic that withstands extreme heat and chemicals.

Each material has unique mechanical and thermal properties, and PlasticHubs ensures precise machining tailored to your project requirements.

Conclusion:
Whether you need transparent covers or high-strength components, our team helps you choose the perfect plastic for optimal performance and cost efficiency.
