Polycarbonate CNC Machining

PC (polycarbonate) is an amorphous thermoplastic recognized for its high impact resistance and transparency. It likewise demonstrates great electrical insulation properties and modest chemical resistance.

Compared to various other engineering plastics, it is able to withstand effects while simultaneously supplying optical clarity, UV resistance, and higher-than-normal temperature resistance.

CNC machining in polycarbonate is reasonably prominent. The material’s remarkable effect resistance makes it excellent for architectural components. With the virtually dual impact strength of ABS, polycarbonate shows one of the highest impact strengths of all the usual engineering plastics. It is easily formed without cracking or damaging.

CNC machined polycarbonate is readily available in black or clear sheet and bar supply. Its clearness, shatter resistance, and lighter weight make it a superb replacement for glass. It also takes care of heat much better than acrylic.

CNC machining in polycarbonate does not naturally yield optically clear components, so some more ending up is required.

PC is typically used in the automobile sector for the manufacturing of cockpit consoles, pumps, shutoffs, and more. It is also utilized in other markets for the manufacturing of safety gear, clinical gadgets, internal mechanical components, and more.
