CNC routing of plastics
CNC routing of plastics is a specialised job- use an experience specialist
Most CNC routing providers offer you some kind of plastic routing service. As a company operating within the sign and display industry our main materials are plastics- when it comes to the cnc routing of plastics we are working with this material on a daily basis.
How the cnc routing of plastics differs from cnc routing with other materials.
To successfully route plastics with a CNC system you do need a lot of experience. Different plastics have different properties and different approaches need to be employed for each type of material.
Plastics when routed in the wrong way can chip, crack, melt or weld back together immediately after the CNC routing tool has cut through it.
If you get things wrong it is quite easy to ruin some expensive plastics by using the wrong approach.
CNC routing- our main plastic materials
When it comes to cnc routing of plastics our main materials are acrylic based
plastics. For sign and display work this type of material forms the bulk of our
cnc routing of plastics work.
We only use quality brands of acrylic material- Perspex and Plexiglas
These two plastics have been tested on our CNC routing systems and we have set strategies for CNC routing these plastics with perfect results every time.
CNC routing of other plastics
Although the bulk of our CNC plastic routing work is carried out using Perspex and Plexiglas we also CNC rout these types of plastic;
- Foam PVC- foamex, foamalux, forrex etc.
- Dibond, Alupanel and Reynobond plastic and aluminium composite
- Polycarbonate plastic
- Engineering plastics
- Plastic engraving laminates
