 I propose, these forums are not a competition. There is no race to prove a point, to prove you are right, to prove you are wrong. - rees2001 [more] |

Re: Machining plastics with CNC
I've machined an iPod dock out of PVC without a problem; I'm pretty sure that the item you are trying to machine is feasible. You'll have to look up the speeds at which the CNC can machine PVC, of course, but as for thermal expansion, I didn't have too much of an issue.
(It did have to be sanded/Dremeled quite a bit, but more or less with any plastic, you'll encounter the same problem). Last edited by Lisa Perez : 13-03-2007 at 09:24. |
