Previously, we began to discuss some of the common materials utilized in CNC machining to fulfill different roles. Last time we focused on the commonly used metals, from the flexibility of aluminum to the strength of steel. In this second part, we will continue exploring some of the materials typically used in CNC machining, particularly the plastics.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): an extremely common plastic used in CNC machining thanks to its impact resistance, toughness, and ease of use. Common sectors it is found in include the enclosures and housing for automotive components, electronic parts, and other kinds of consumer goods.
Nylon: an extremely versatile plastic due to its high strength, toughness, and excellent wear resistance. Nylon is typically found in the production of gears, bearings, and bushings. For any moving part, Nylon stands apart as it can withstand high loads while having a low friction coefficient.
