Thanks to our extensive expertise in CNC milling technology, we can process a wide range of plastics for various applications, from industrial components to medical precision parts. In this text, we will tell you more about plastic milling, the materials we process, the applications and the advantages of our milling techniques.

What is plastic milling?

Plastic milling is a machining process that removes excess material from a plastic workpiece to create a desired end product. This process requires advanced CNC milling machines that can perform precise movements, especially since plastic materials have unique properties such as flexibility, thermal sensitivity and variable hardness.

At Boessenkool, we use the latest CNC technology to machine plastics with extreme precision. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) allows us to create complex geometries with minimal tolerances, essential for applications where accuracy and reliability are crucial. Our specialists take into account the specific properties of plastics to ensure optimal results. Depending on the thickness, strength and thermal sensitivity of the material, we precisely adjust the milling so that no deformation or irregularities occur.

Applications of plastic milling

Milling plastics is used in a wide range of industries. Plastics are increasingly used because of their versatility, light weight and corrosion resistance. Boessenkool supplies milled plastic parts to sectors such as medical, aerospace and automotive. Some important applications are:

  • Milling plastic housings: We produce custom-made plastic housings for electrical and electronic equipment, where precision and durability are essential.
  • Precision parts: For the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, we supply precision milled parts that meet the strictest hygiene and safety standards.
  • Aerospace and automotive components: Plastics are often used in aerospace and automotive because of their light weight and strength. We mill parts that can withstand high pressure and extreme conditions.

In addition to milling plastics, we also offer related services, such as CNC turning for precision machining of cylindrical parts and large machining for larger components.

Advantages of plastic milling at Boessenkool

At Boessenkool, we offer several advantages that set us apart in the plastic milling market. Our advanced 5-axis CNC milling machines enable us to mill complex, three-dimensional shapes with the highest precision. This is crucial for applications such as milling plastic housings and technical parts. Our team has years of experience in machining various plastics, which enables us to deliver precisely finished parts with minimal tolerances. This is especially important for sectors such as the medical industry, where accuracy is essential.

In addition to our technical expertise, we offer a customer-oriented approach. We think along with our customers and deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the specific requirements of their project. Our focus is on quality, efficiency and delivering the best results, regardless of the complexity of the project.

In addition, Boessenkool also offers other precision and machining services, such as drilling for precise holes in materials and boring for the post-processing of drill holes with an accuracy of one hundredth of a millimeter.

Milling techniques applied to plastics

When milling plastics, we use different techniques, depending on the type of plastic and the desired finish. For example, rough milling quickly creates a basic shape by removing large amounts of material, while end milling is used to create precise details. We also apply techniques such as up- and down-milling, depending on the specific requirements of the project and the plastic used.

This flexible approach ensures that we achieve the best results, regardless of the complexity of the project or the materials we are working with. Our team of specialists are trained to recognise the properties of each type of plastic and adapt the milling techniques accordingly to ensure the highest accuracy and finish quality.
