Plastic part production

We produce plastic parts two ways: layer by layer with FDM printing, or machined from solid stock on the CNC lathe and mill. Which one is right depends on the part's dimension, load and surface expectation.

Which way to choose

If form and fit are being tried, FDM is fast and cheap. If the part will carry load, take a screw, sit in a bearing or seal, CNC machining is the right way. Both run from the same file; tell us the use and we choose the way together.

Stage 1

Plastic production with FDM

Complex geometry, internal channels and light parts are printing's ground. PLA serves concept models and fixtures, PETG durable covers and housings, ABS and ASA parts that see heat, TPU flexible elements.

Layer lines and direction-dependent strength are printing's limit. Where a screw seat, bearing or sealing face must hold dimension, the part moves to CNC machining.

PLA — concept models, fixtures
PETG — covers, housings, ducts
ABS / ASA — heat and outdoor use
TPU — flexible parts, seals, bumpers

Stage 2

Plastics machined on CNC

Parts machined from solid plastic on the lathe and mill come out truer in dimension, isotropic and smoother than printed ones. Gears, bushings, slideways and bearing parts are produced this way.

POM (Delrin) — gears, bushings, slideways; low friction
PA6 / PA66 (Nylon) — wear-resistant machine parts
ABS (solid) — dimensioned machining for housings and covers
Polycarbonate (PC) — transparent, impact-resistant covers
HDPE / UHMW-PE — slippery surfaces, wear strips
PP — parts needing chemical resistance
PTFE (Teflon) — seals, bearings, chemical environments
PEEK — parts working under high temperature and load
PMMA (Acrylic) — transparent indicators and covers

Questions

Can you produce a single plastic part?

Yes. Prototypes and spares start at quantity one; setup is written once in both processes.

Do I have to choose the material?

Describing the use is enough. Tell us temperature, load and chemical contact and we recommend the material.

Is a printed part strong enough?

Infill and walls change strength, but the layer-direction limit stays. For load-bearing parts, machined plastics give the more reliable result.
