Machining Options
CNC Milling
Mills use rotating tools to cut material into almost any 3D shape. CNC Mills can work with tight tolerances.
Waterjet Cutting
Waterjets mainly cut sheet material into 2D parts using a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive. Waterjet cutting is suitable for most materials and yields clean edges.
CNC Turning
CNC Lathes feed cutting tools into rotating material. Turning is mainly used to produce precise, cylindrical parts.
Injection Molding
Injection Molding produces parts by forcing molten polymer material into a mold. It’s the most economical process for producing high volumes of plastic parts.
Acrylic Design Tips
- Avoid deep holes, as drilling can be difficult.
- Request that edges be polished to achieve a “glass smooth” finish.
- Parts can be easily connected by special adhesives, machine screws, or sheet metal brackets at corners.
- Acrylic is brittle, thus avoiding sharp inside corners is ideal.
