Engineering Plastic Nylon PA6 CNC Parts High Strength Metal Replacement
Advantages of Plastic Processing
1.Processing speed: Plastic is usually softer than metal, so CNC machines can cut plastic materials faster and improve production efficiency.
2,Tool wear: Due to the lower hardness of plastic, there is less wear on the tool, which means a longer tool life and reduces the frequency and cost of tool replacement.
3.Cost effectiveness: Plastic materials themselves are usually cheaper than metals, and the energy consumption during processing is lower, thereby reducing overall processing costs.
4.Design flexibility: Plastic is easy to process into complex shapes and details, providing designers with greater freedom.
5.Weight: Plastic products are much lighter than metal, which is particularly important for applications that require weight reduction, such as aerospace and automotive industries.
6.Corrosion resistance: Some plastics have excellent chemical corrosion resistance and are suitable for applications in special environments.
7.Insulation performance: Plastic is a good electrical insulator, suitable for electronic and electrical applications.
8.Shock absorption performance: Plastic has good shock absorption and sound absorption properties, suitable for situations where noise and vibration need to be reduced.
