Why Choose Acrylic for Your CNC Projects?
Acrylic, also known as PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), is a transparent, high-gloss engineering plastic, commonly known as “organic glass”. It has excellent transparency (transmittance up to 92%), good machinability, impact resistance and weather resistance, and is widely used in CNC machining.
Acrylic CNC machined parts are widely used in various industries, focusing on scenarios requiring transparency, aesthetic appearance and precision, mainly including the display industry (display shelves, display cases, display panels, nameplates, acrylic display frames), electronic & electrical industry (acrylic shells, sensor covers, instrument panels, light covers, insulating parts), decorative & architectural industry (decorative panels, acrylic artworks, window decorations, light guide plates), medical & laboratory industry (medical instrument covers, laboratory test tubes, transparent operation panels (non-toxic grade)) and other fields (toy components, auto interior decorative parts, acrylic molds, customized craft parts).
As-Machined Optical Clarity
We utilize 5-axis CNC machining centers equipped with specialized monocrystalline diamond tools to process acrylic (PMMA) components. This manufacturing method cuts the material with minimal surface roughness, achieving high optical transparency directly from the machine.
Why No Post-Processing?
Our direct-machining process eliminates the need for secondary flame or vapor polishing, which are known to compromise part integrity. By avoiding these thermal and chemical processes, we prevent:
- Dimensional Deviation: Altered tolerances and rounded edges.
- Internal Stress: Increased risk of crazing or cracking.
- Material Degradation: Surface yellowing and reduced optical clarity over the component’s lifecycle due to thermal oxidation.
Instead, our approach maintains the original geometric accuracy and optical properties, achieving 92% light transmission directly from the machine.
