How To Build A Plastic Chip Collection CNC Router

Building a plastic chip collection cnc router can seem intimidating, but if you follow the steps below you'll be saving money, time and creating a quality product in no time

The first step is to gather all of your materials. For this project we used four different types of plastic: clear, red, blue and green. We also used sandpaper, a drill press and an air compressor. You may need to buy these items at your local hardware store or online

Next you will want to make sure that your router is set up properly before you begin making cuts on your material. This will ensure that you get the best possible results from your machine and that it works properly throughout the entire process. Once this step is complete you are ready to begin!

CNC Plastic Machining

CNC Machining Plastic Parts are widely used in all industries fields and most products around us in the world. And many plastic materials are suitable for machining processes.

Therefore, CNC machining plastic parts are important production way to make out plastic products.

Different plastics have different properties, with their low cost and multi-selecting reason, so CNC machining plastic parts are flexibly choose plastic materials for various functional products.

Different processing use different materials for its functional purpose. Normally we use ABS, PS, PC, Nylon, PEEK, PA, POM, etc. For plastic parts by CNC turning, milling, drilling; And apply finishing treatment on surface such as painting, powder coating, etc.

Benefits of CNC Plastic Machining

1/ Plastic materials have many series with different properties for different choice

2/ Plastic materials is soft, shape-keeping, and easy-cutting for CNC machining processes

3/ CNC machining plastic parts are light-weight for product using

4/ CNC machining plastic parts are non-conductive of electricity, supporting many non-conductive parts

5/ CNC machining plastic parts are flexible to change the shape, benefiting the prototyping time and cost

6/ Plastic parts material supporting recycle collecting, material renewal benefits the burden of world
