Plastic Machining

Boessenkool is an experienced specialist in the machining of plastics. With our extensive machine park and many years of expertise, we deliver high-quality plastic parts for various industries. Plastics offer several unique advantages, such as their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and versatility. However, plastic machining requires a high degree of precision, as these materials often require different processing than metals. At Boessenkool, we guarantee the accuracy and quality needed to make your plastic projects a success.

What is Plastic Machining?

Plastic machining is a process in which excess material is removed from a plastic workpiece to create a specific shape. This is done using CNC machines that ensure the material is accurately processed according to the desired specifications. At Boessenkool, we use advanced CNC machines to machine plastics with minimal tolerances, which is essential for applications where precision is critical.

Unlike metal machining, where heavier forces are often required, plastic machining demands a lighter approach due to the thermal sensitivity and variable hardness of the materials. This means that our experts must carefully plan which techniques and tools to use to prevent deformation and damage. We offer a wide range of services, including CNC plastic milling and CNC steel milling, where each material requires its own specific approach.

Types of Plastics Boessenkool Can Machine

Boessenkool has extensive experience in machining various types of plastics. Each type of plastic has unique properties, and our team specializes in selecting the right techniques and tools for each project. The main plastics we machine are:

  • Polyethylene (PE): A versatile material with a low coefficient of friction and excellent chemical resistance. PE is often used in industrial applications such as piping and transport components.
  • Polyamide (PA): Also known as nylon, polyamide offers excellent wear resistance and mechanical strength, making it ideal for parts such as gears and bearings.
  • Polycarbonate (PC): This material is known for its impact resistance and transparency, making it suitable for protective covers and optical applications.

The precision required to machine these plastics demands specialized techniques such as CNC turning and large-scale machining. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the properties of these materials, we ensure accurate and high-quality finishing, no matter the complexity of the project.

Applications of Plastic Machining

At Boessenkool, plastic components are produced for a wide range of applications in various industries. Some key sectors where plastic machining plays a crucial role include:

  • Medical sector: Plastics are often used for parts of medical devices and tools due to their hygienic properties and ease of sterilization.
  • Aerospace: The light but strong properties of plastics make them ideal for aerospace applications, where weight is a critical factor.
  • Automotive: Plastics are increasingly used for interior and exterior components of vehicles due to their durability and resistance to chemicals.

Our custom solutions are tailored to the specific needs of each customer, and we can also perform additional operations such as drilling and boring for a full machining service. Our expertise in CNC plastic milling ensures that we can create parts that meet the strict specifications of these industries.
