Plastics machining is a specialized area of expertise
that Machine Incorporated has developed.
Plastics machining requires a different approach than
metals machining because of the unique work-holding
and tooling required to hold tolerances and surface
finishes.
Plastic machining techniques that we employ:
- Stress
relieving: of plastic before or as an
interim step the production process to produce
required tolerances.
- Fixturing/Workholding:
Plastics must be fixtured or held in such a way as
to not induce stress into the material.
- Burrs:
plastic require special tools and deburring methods
to manufacture cost effectivley.
- Finishes:
Plastic requires specific tool geometries for
optimum machining speeds.
- Hardware
Inserts: Many times installing thread
inserts into plastic is great way to achieve
thread strength in plastic.
