When Plastic Machining Inc. says “CNC,” we’re referring to a computer numerical control machine. When you use our 3D CAD prototype services, our CAM software process interprets your 3D CAD model and translates data to CNC machines. The main benefit of plastic prototyping from CAD models is that CNC will produce parts that can replace the additive manufactured prototypes with true production grade materials. This method allows you to build your parts in the featured material that you intend for use in production. But don’t worry about the machines not being able to create parts with your chosen material. One of the benefits of using CNC machines is that they can work with a broad range of materials, including plastics. In addition, our CNC machines can deliver your prototypes much more quickly than other methods, allowing you to perform testing and discover issues with your products much sooner. That will enable you to develop your products and fine-tune them to your needs much more efficiently. Additionally, CNC machining is the best choice for rapid prototyping of high-quality plastic parts requiring the greatest degree of dimensional accuracy, critical surface finishes, and material-specific properties.
Whether for rapid prototypes or production parts, we have the right CNC machining options for plastic prototyping from CAD models.
