Finishes and Post-Processing Options
Surface finishing: bead blasting
Bead blasting is a finishing process that utilizes abrasive media, such as glass beads or ceramic beads, propelled by compressed air to clean, deburr, or texture surfaces.
Surface finishing: powder coating
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a surface, then cured under heat to create a durable and protective coating.
Surface finishing: vapor polishing
Vapor polishing is a finishing process for plastic surfaces, where the object is exposed to a vaporized solvent, typically a chemical like acetone, which melts the surface layer, smoothing out imperfections and leaving a glossy finish.
FAQS
What types of plastics are commonly used for CNC machining?
How do I choose the right plastic material for my CNC machining project?
How much does plastic CNC machining cost?
The cost of plastics CNC machining can vary based on several factors including the type of plastic material used, the complexity of the part design, tolerances required, surface finishes, batch size, and machining time. Generally, plastics CNC machining is more cost-effective compared to machining metals, but the final cost depends on the specific requirements of your project.
Can I achieve specific surface finishes with CNC machined plastics?
Yes, CNC machined plastics can be finished with various surface treatments and textures, including polishing, sanding blasting, painting and silk screen, to achieve desired aesthetics and functional properties.
