Benefits of Machining
There are many instances where machining plastic is the best method for your components.
Consider the advantages of machining;
- greatest cost efficiency for smaller quantities
- more design flexibility
- closer tolerances possible
- low/no tooling costs
- components have consistent properties
- lower residual component stresses
- faster turnaround times mean faster delivery
- no weld lines, parting lines, gate scars, ejector marks, flash or 'skin' effects
- no draft angles required
- threads, undercuts, long straight holes and other features easily produced
