Make plastic clear with the help of a CNC machine If you've had some experience working with plastics, you're probably familiar with their property of flexibility. Many industrial applications, including automotive and prosthetic components, rely on plastics for strength, durability and accuracy
Plastic can be made transparent by heating it up to induce phase separation in the polymer chains. This is done by applying sufficient heat to a thin layer of plastic and then allowing it to cool naturally. As the material becomes more flexible as it cools, the phase separation occurs at different rates in different areas of the sheet. The result is a transparent sheet of plastic that has been created using only heat and pressure instead of chemicals or solvents.
