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.
Post project to suppliers with Machining, Plastics capabilities
A Qimtek member seeks the assistance of a supplier who can facilitate full production of a plastic insert. Quotes are required for 40,000 off, with 1,000 off required by the end of the month and either the balance to be received by the following month, or 5,000 off required per month thereafter until the full order is completed.

Ideally, the client would like to locate a supplier that can offer exemplary value and reliable delivery - in return, they may be considered for similar projects, as well as repeat orders of these parts, moving forward.
A manufacturer of radiation protection equipment, whose spend exceeds £100,000 annually, seeks a machinist who can produce syringe shields from clear acrylic. These parts will be used within the medical industry and therefore quality is of utmost importance. Once a relationship has been established, the successful supplier will also be asked to lend their hand to additional orders, in varying sizes.
A buyer operating within the industrial machinery sector, who spends £50,000 annually on subcontract machining services, is looking for a supplier who can produce the attached ribbed bung from Nylon on an annual basis. These components will be utilised within a larger project and in turn, the surface between each rib can be left rough, as adhesive will be added at a later stage.
Quotes are sought on the attached flocking gun body, required for end use within an industrial machinery application. The client - who spends £50,000 annually on bespoke machined parts - is looking for the assistance of a supplier that is able to offer prompt and reliable delivery of the part in question, to be turned, milled and drilled in accordance with the drawings attached. In turn, the client will look to place repeat orders with the company they select, making this an ideal opportunity to supplement your long-term customer portfolio.
This design house is looking for a supplier to manufacture a replica radio box as part of a new virtual reality warplane experience.
