This tutorial is going to teach you how to build a plastic CNC machine. The goal of this project is to make a machine that can cut plastic materials like foam and even wood
If you're new to 3D printing, this is a great project for you. It's very beginner friendly, but still has some advanced features for those who want more control over their machine.
cnc machine for plasticCNC 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.
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
