Best Plastic for CNC Milling

In the realm of CNC milling, three plastics reign supreme: ABS, Nylon, and Acetal. ABS shines as a jack-of-all-trades, effortlessly easy to machine, and striking a harmonious balance between robust strength and economical savvy. It’s the go-to choice for a spectrum of applications, valued for its versatility. Nylon, the stalwart, brings to the table its remarkable resistance to wear and tear, championing durability in the face of stress and friction – a true ally for parts demanding endurance. Then there’s Acetal, the maestro of precision, sliding effortlessly with low friction, ideal for crafting those intricate pieces where accuracy is paramount. Each of these materials carves out its own niche in the CNC world, collectively catering to a wide array of technical demands and creative aspirations.
