How to Make a Plastic CNC Machine

The least expensive plastic cnc machine is the MakerCAM by Eros. This machine has a build volume of just 40 x 40 x 40§, which is standard for this type of machine. It has been tested in the field and supports material such as wood and aluminum, using 0.010 and 0.015mm collets for 1/16§ and 1/8§ diameter cuts, respectively

This machine comes with a software package that is compatible with most popular CAD programs on the market today, including SolidWorks, ProE, SolidEdge, Catia, AutoCAD and so on. The software can be used to create virtual models of your product before it is actually manufactured. This saves you time because you don't have to wait until you get your parts made to test them out before beginning the production process; instead you can do it all before hand

The only drawback to this machine is its size: it's only about 6 inches thick so it won't work well for large projects where space might be at a premium or where your design may be too complex for the machine's small build volume (40x40x40).

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
