Plastics machining is a combination of different types of machining in plastic materials.
The methods of machining plastics are similar to those of metals machining, and the most common methods are turning and milling. This is usually performed when manufacturing low volumes or when fine tolerances are required. Otherwise, moulding is common for larger volumes.
There are plastic materials with many different properties. There have different appearances, electrical conductivity, hardness and resistance to heat and organic solvents.

A supplier is sought to produce the attached friction block in accordance with the drawings provided. This design is to be made from Tufnol and the client has advised that the successful supplier will be responsible for sourcing the material and the applicable metal helicoils, which will also require fitting as part of the project. As well as having an immediate order to place, the client has advised that there is potential for this to become ongoing work moving forward, provided that the successful supplier is able to offer a high standard of quality within the initial batch of 12 off.

This client, a manufacturer of robotics and production automation systems who spends £250,000 a year on outsourced machining services, urgently seeks a supplier to modify the attached free-issue components. The client needs six of these parts modifying with the 77mm dimension profile extending down into the male form (reducing the overall depth of the male form and extending the thicker part of the 'handle'). An additional four need the handle section removing from the male form entirely; this could be a case of machining the 77mm profile down to match the cylindrical profile and then band sawing the cylinder off for simplicity if required. There is an immediate order to place, with delivery required as soon as possible.
