FAQs: How to Prevent Machined Parts from Warping
One of the more difficult aspects of machining plastic parts can be keeping them flat especially when the final geometry is particularly asymmetric. We have chosen the words “can be” because there are some tell-tale signs that make certain parts a lot more...Drilling Tips: How to Minimize Heat When Drilling Plastic
The thermal insulating characteristics of plastics requires one to take a few special precautions that are not as common when machining metals especially when hole depths are greater than twice the diameter. Excessive heat build-up at the drill-plastic interface is...Sawing Tips: How to Improve Product Quality When Sawing Plastics
Machinists often struggle with the first stage of the part making process, which is the saw cutting of a blank when working with engineering plastics. Although plastics are far softer than traditional metals (even the softer ones like aluminum), they can be far more...Sawing Tips: How to Improve Product Quality When Sawing Plastics
