Plastic Turning Parts

Different plastic materials have different physical and mechanical properties, which affect CNC turning parameters and cutting strategies. For example, POM has good cutting properties, while PEEK has high temperature stability

PEEK is a high-performance plastic suitable for high-temperature environments. It has excellent high temperature resistance and mechanical properties and is often used to manufacture parts that need to operate under extreme conditions.

Controlling appropriate tool speeds, feed rates and coolant usage to minimize the impact of heat on plastic materials can effectively reduce the risk of material deformation.

Yes, carbon fiber plastic is possible in CNC turning. However, due to the hardness and abrasiveness of carbon fiber, special tooling and cutting strategies may be required.

Plastic CNC turning generally uses higher cutting speeds, while metal CNC turning may require stiffer tools and more stable machine tools. In addition, the control of cutting parameters and coolant is more important in plastic CNC turning.
