Elegant and Unique Braided Green Glass Pearl Necklace

In the case of DATRON, Autodesk worked directly with DATRON AG in Germany which has resulted in MCR and SIMPL posts for DATRON “next” control software used with machines like our M8Cube, as well as an ISO post and a dedicated post processor for the DATRON C5 5-axis machine.

The Result of Autodesk and DATRON Collaboration

As a result, DATRON customers can use Fusion360, InventorHSM or HSMWorks with a high-level of confidence because they work seamlessly with DATRON high-speed milling machines. That’s why many of our application technicians recommend Fusion 360 so frequently … because they know that it is an excellent CAM software that will work right out of the box.

Parts Made with Autodesk Fusion 360 and DATRON

This also the reason that many of the sample parts that we machine at trade shows and other demonstrations are done in Fusion 360. An example of this and a very popular hand-out is our gear-shaped bottle opener.

At IMTS, we machined this part on the DATRON neo to emphasize the speed of the machine, as well as how well it is suited to both rapid prototyping and short-run production applications. Get the Application Notes (Machining Strategies, Feeds, Speeds, Tools etc.) Here.

While the DATRON neo, like any DATRON machine, excels at milling aluminum, it is also ideal for machining plastics and composites with ease and can be equipped with a brush head for dust collection. Other options include vacuum chuck workholding, pneumatic clamping systems, and a 4th rotary axis. The machine runs on DATRON next software that is operated with a touch screen. It is easy enough for non-machinists to use and allows the seasoned machinist to tap into robust capabilities faster than on any other milling machine.

Other Autodesk and DATRON Collaboration

Post processors for CAM software isn’t the only area where DATRON has collaborated with Autodesk.  In fact, DATRON technology has combined with Autodesk’s software innovation as part of the Autodesk Generative Design Field Lab located at the MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) facility in Chicago.

MxD is part of Manufacturing USA, a network of 14 institutes all focused on advancing individual technologies and revitalizing US manufacturing. Their goal is to bring together the processes that manufacturers employ, in a single digital manufacturing and design facility – equipped with the world’s most advanced technology. Ultimately, MxD is a place where companies of all sizes meet up with innovators to develop disruptive technologies and plot the future of manufacturing.

Plastics in CNC Machining: How do You Choose the Right Type?

Posted on by

CNC machining is a versatile and efficient process that countless companies use to produce their pieces and parts. This high-precision, high-quality, and fast-paced production process can accommodate a wide range of different materials.

Metals, woods, composites, and plastics are all suitable for machining, and among them, plastics are one of the most common. But there are many types of machinable plastics, so how do you choose the right one?

It’s not an easy question to answer, and it depends on a range of different factors. This article will explain the properties you have to keep in mind while working with plastics and give examples of the most common plastics used.

4 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Plastic

As we explained in our article about CNC machining materials, the physical properties of a material affect its machinability. As such, the results you can obtain from your workpiece will vary by material.

With plastics, the size and shape of your workpiece can change during or even after machining. As such, design engineers need to take material properties into account to ensure the manufacturability of their design. Next, we’ll explain the various factors you should consider.

#1 Thermal Expansion and Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT)

Almost every material expands and gains volume at high temperatures. In CNC machining, the tooling used produces heat when it contacts the material.

In the case of plastics, their coefficient of thermal expansion is higher than metals. As such, they can exhibit a more significant change in size as a result of machining.

Therefore, it is crucial to understand how each plastic reacts to heat input from machining. You should also consider the amount of heat exposure the plastic will receive. These factors will impact the ability to meet dimensional tolerances.

Additionally, a material’s heat deflection temperature (HDT) indicates when it will start to deform easily due to exposure to elevated temperatures. When making your final materials selection, you may need to consider this to ensure the part is suitable for its intended application.

#2 Hardness and Strength

The hardness and strength properties of a specific plastic may be something you are considering for your part to make sure it stands up to the requirements of its final application. However, these properties also affect the way a material behaves during machining.

The tensile strength of a material can impact how it forms chips, affecting the final surface finish. Hardness can also affect the way chips form, and for very soft materials, gouging can occur if the operator does not take suitable precautions.

Furthermore, the hardness and tensile strength of a material can impact the wear life of the tooling used. However, this is generally a more significant consideration when machining metals and ceramics.

#3 Moisture Absorption and Reaction to Chemicals

Certain plastics can absorb moisture from the air or coolant or can be detrimentally affected by certain chemicals. They may even need to be kept in air-conditioned rooms or sealed bags.

The effects of moisture and chemicals can cause the dimensions of the material to change, affecting the ability to meet precise tolerances. They can even degrade the strength and stability of the plastics altogether.

#4 Appearance, Transparency, and Light Transmittance

Appearance and associated properties, such as light transmittance, may be an essential aspect of your design. If so, this limits the number of plastic materials available to you. Furthermore, care will need to be taken with the machining process to ensure a rough surface finish does not impact light transmittance or transparency.

Top 10 Plastics Used in CNC Machining

Based on the factors described above, you may be wondering which machinable plastics are best and how to apply those factors to which plastic you should use for your project?

Luckily there are plenty of applications for CNC machined plastics, including in medicine, automotive, aerospace,  electronics, clothing, technology, and even building construction! In the table below, you’ll find 10 of the best machinable plastics:
