Understanding the Art of Plastic Machining

Plastic machining is not an easy task. Plastic as a material is known for being easy to change its shape, its size, a whole lot more when you try to work with it. It can chip or melt while you are trying to cut it, it can crack if you try to decrease it, a whole lot of things can go wrong. There is a large range of problems and strange behaviours that can come with nylon machining. Each plastic has it’s own unique way of which you must work with it, so below is a brief guide on things you should know if you are already or considering working with plastic.

The first factor is thermal expansion. This is basically the term used for something that grows when heat is applied to it. This is not something you will see when machining metals, plastics on the other hand, can expand a lot. Some plastics can expand five times the rate of metals and more. A great example of this is aluminum and UHMW. UHMW otherwise known as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene will expand up to 10 times the amount that aluminum would when exposed to the same temperature.
