PLASTICS MACHINING AT D&R MACHINE

When your application requires high volume output or chemical resistance that  more common metals cannot provide, plastics become a normal and reliable choice for industrial projects. With a large variety of machinable plastics, it is important that proper research is done to ensure the right material is being used for your application.

Machining plastics comes with its own challenges in comparison to metals such as aluminum, steel, titanium, and others. With general plastics having issue handling elevated temperatures and maintain a lower structural strength and hardness, care must be taken to ensure that the final product is not subject to deformation or degradation as a result of the machining process.

With the risk of waste that plastic creates due to its mechanical properties, it is important that your choice in machine shop respects the challenges that plastic brings to the machining process to ensure your part comes out as designed. At D&R Machine, our skilled machinists' experiences with plastics are what set apart our shops from the competition—a testament to the care we bring to our product and our consideration for you intend to use in your projects.
