Plastics Machining
CNC milling and turning of engineering plastics — POM, PA, PEEK, PE-UHMW and PTFE. Precise, thermally gentle, for demanding applications.
Precision in Plastics
Plastics require a fundamentally different approach than metals. Sharp tools, optimized feed rates and controlled temperatures are crucial to prevent burr formation, material deformation and thermal damage.
Unlike metal, we work with most plastics dry — without cutting fluids. This prevents contamination and simplifies post-processing.
Engineering Plastics
POM (Polyoxymethylene)
High stiffness, low moisture absorption, excellent machinability. For gears, bearings, sliding parts.
PA 6 / PA 66 (Polyamide)
Tough, wear-resistant, good damping. For bushings, guides and housings. Consider moisture absorption.
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)
High-performance plastic for extreme demands. Up to 250°C continuous temperature. Medical, aerospace, chemical.
PE-UHMW
Extremely wear-resistant, self-lubricating, food-safe. For slide rails, guides and transport technology.
PTFE (Teflon)
Chemically inert, lowest friction coefficient. For seals, plain bearings and chemical apparatus.
PVC / PVDF
Chemically resistant, weldable. For pipe connectors, valves and tank parts in chemical industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1Which plastics can be CNC machined?
POM, PA 6/66, PEEK, PE-UHMW, PTFE, PVC, PVDF, PC, PMMA and many more. Basically all machinable engineering and high-performance plastics.
Q2What is different about plastic machining compared to metal?
Plastics require sharp tools with positive cutting geometry, adapted feed rates and usually dry machining. The low thermal conductivity demands special attention — otherwise the material melts on the tool.
Q3Can PEEK parts be CNC milled?
Yes, PEEK is excellently machinable, but requires special tools and optimized parameters. We manufacture PEEK parts for medical, aerospace and chemical industries.
