Advantages of Using CNC Machining for Plastic Parts

Posted by Brad Roberson in CNC Machining, Machining and Materials on Mar 12, 2024.


Plastic parts are used in everything from farming tools and food packaging to sports equipment and computers. Countless manufacturers rely solely on methods like injection molding, additive manufacturing, and even urethane casting for molding or manufacturing plastic components. Not Roberson Machine Company.

Due to its reliability, compatibility with a wide array of materials, and ability to machine parts with intricate geometries, we utilize CNC machining for plastics. Call us right away at 573-646-3996 or contact us online to get started with a quote. Let’s delve into the world of CNC machining here and see how it brings unparalleled benefits to the fabrication of plastic parts.

Unveiling the Advantages of Using CNC Machining for Plastic Parts

While we certainly rely on other manufacturing solutions, depending on what our particular customers’ needs are, CNC machining stands as our cornerstone when it comes to plastic parts, providing the following benefits:

  • Reduced Human Error and Consistency: One of the key features of our CNC machining solutions is our automation, which reduces the reliance on manual labor and eliminates the risk of human error. The consistency reached through our automation ensures that each of your plastic parts are machined consistently identical, maintaining quality standards throughout the manufacturing process.
  • Precision Redefined: CNC machining at Roberson Machine Company is synonymous with precision. The nature of the manufacturing process allows for incredibly tight tolerances and unrivaled accuracy. Our multi axis machining capabilities allow us to produce sophisticated parts that might otherwise be challenging or impossible to achieve. This opens up new possibilities for your plastic parts and your next project. GIve us a call at 573-646-3996 or contact us online to find out more or to get a quote.
  • Cost-Effective Production: The efficiency of our manufacturing process, along with minimized material wastage and reduced labor costs, gets passed along to you in cost savings. While CNC machining has higher initial costs than injection molding, it becomes far more cost-effective, particularly for large production runs.
  • Versatility in Material Selection: CNC machining for plastic parts accommodates a wide range of materials. Whether your project calls for ABS, acrylic, PEEK, or nylon our machines can handle it. This flexibility allows you to choose materials tailored specifically to your requirements and your parts’ applications.
  • Parts With Smoother Finishes: The precision and control provided by our CNC machines contribute to far smoother finishes when compared to many traditional machining methods. Our plastic parts are smooth because our machinists check for:

    • Tool precision: Our top-quality cutting tools and our ability to control cutting parameters produce smooth finishes on your plastic parts.
    • Reduced vibration: Reducing vibration during the machining process contributes to smoother cuts and finishes on your plastic parts.
    • Optimized speeds and feeds: Controlling these parameters, we make sure that the cutting tool interacts with the source material in a way that promotes that smooth finish on your parts.
    • Finishing passes: These final passes, programmed via G-code by our machinists through our CAD and CAM software, are designed to improve surface quality by smoothing out any tool marks or imperfections.
