CNC Routing for Plastic

Plastic parts demand clean cuts, consistent profiles, and minimal heat build‑up to avoid warping. XC Machining’s CNC Routing for Plastic specializes in acrylics, polycarbonates, HDPE, and other engineering plastics, delivering parts that meet both cosmetic and functional requirements. Whether you’re manufacturing point‑of‑sale displays, protective covers, or structural components, our routers achieve smooth edges and crisp details.

Our CNC Routing for Plastic process balances spindle speed, feed rate, and chip evacuation to prevent melting and ensure precise cuts. We use specialized high‑helix carbide tooling to slice through material cleanly, reducing burr formation and eliminating the need for secondary trimming. Both sheet and block stock up to 3" thick can be routed, with fixtures adaptable to small signage pieces or large industrial panels.

Toolpaths are generated from your CAD models, enabling complex 2D profiles, pocketing, and through‑holes with consistent accuracy. For transparent materials like acrylic, we offer on‑table polishing options to achieve mirror‑like edges directly off the router. Our dust extraction and air‑knife systems keep chips away from the tool‑face, preserving finish quality and tool life.

At XC Machining, we understand the unique demands of plastic routing: temperature control, chip removal, and fixturing. Our team works with you to select the right material grade, optimize nesting for cost savings, and specify tolerances that match your assembly requirements. Fast quotes, low minimums, and expert support make us the go‑to choice for engineers, designers, and manufacturers seeking reliable CNC Routing for Plastic.
