WHY MACHINING (VS. MOLDING)?

For several reasons, injection molding may not be the best choice for fabricating plastic components. What advantages are there with plastics machining?

  • Great Design
  • Change Flexibility
  • Better Cost Efficiency for Small Quantities
  • Avoid Paring Lines, Ejector Marks, Flash, etc.
  • Avoid Draft Angles (not required)
  • Highest Tolerance(s) Possible
  • Lowest Component Stress
  • Speedy Turnaround Time
  • Low Tooling Cost
  • Ease of Production (incl. threads and undercuts)
