There are many instances where machining plastic is the best method for your components.

Consider the advantages of machining;

• greatest cost efficiency for smaller quantities
• more design flexibility, change a dimension or hole size, often at no cost
• closer tolerances possible
• No mould costs
• low/no tooling costs
• components have consistent properties
• lower residual component stresses
• faster turnaround times mean faster delivery
• no weld lines, parting lines, gate scars, ejector marks, flash or ‘skin’ effects
• no draft angles required
• threads, undercuts, long straight holes and other features easily produced
