Compared with traditional metal parts, CNC plastic parts have the
following advantages:
Light weight: The density of plastic is much lower than that of metal, so
plastic parts are lighter and can significantly reduce the overall
weight of the product. Especially in the automotive and aerospace
industries, weight reduction can help improve fuel efficiency and
performance.
Cost-effectiveness: Plastic raw materials are generally cheaper than metals, and the
processing costs of plastic parts are lower, especially in mass
production, the cost advantage is more obvious.
Corrosion resistance: Plastic is resistant to many chemicals, does not rust or corrode
easily, and is suitable for use in harsh environments.
Insulating properties: Plastic is a good electrical insulator and is suitable for
insulating components of electronic products.
Design flexibility: Plastic parts can be easily manufactured into complex shapes and
sizes through methods such as injection molding, providing greater
design freedom.
Shock and sound absorption: Plastics have good shock and sound absorption properties and can
be used to reduce vibration and noise.
Color and surface treatment: Plastic parts can be directly added with pigments during the
production process to produce products of various colors, and are
easy to undergo surface treatment, such as silk screen printing,
spraying, etc.
Processing speed: CNC plastic processing is generally faster than metal processing,
with shorter production cycles.
No secondary processing required: Plastic parts usually do not require additional processing after
injection molding, such as deburring, polishing, etc., while metal
parts often require these secondary processing.
Ease of mass production: Plastic parts are suitable for mass production because once the
mold is made, large quantities of parts can be produced quickly and
efficiently.
Although CNC plastic parts have these advantages, they also have
some limitations, such as being generally inferior to metals in
terms of mechanical strength, heat resistance, and wear resistance.
Therefore, when choosing materials, you need to decide whether to
use plastic or metal based on specific application scenarios and
requirements.
