Why Choose Nylon for CNC Machining?

Nylon (Polyamide) offers exceptional mechanical properties, making it ideal for demanding applications requiring durability and precision.

 

Superior Strength

High tensile strength and excellent load-bearing capacity make nylon ideal for structural components and mechanical parts.

 

Temperature Resistance

Excellent thermal stability with continuous use temperatures up to 120°C (248°F) for most nylon grades.

 

Wear Resistance

Low coefficient of friction and excellent abrasion resistance ensure long-lasting performance in moving parts.

 

Chemical Resistance

Outstanding resistance to oils, greases, solvents, and most chemicals commonly found in industrial environments.

 

Lightweight Design

Significantly lighter than metals while maintaining structural integrity, perfect for weight-sensitive applications.

 

Machinability

Excellent machining characteristics with minimal tool wear and superior surface finish quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CNC machining nylon parts

What are the key advantages of CNC machining nylon over other plastics?

Nylon offers superior mechanical properties including high tensile strength, excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, and outstanding chemical resistance. Unlike many plastics, nylon maintains its properties across a wide temperature range and provides exceptional durability in demanding applications. Its machinability is excellent, producing smooth finishes with minimal tool wear.

What tolerances can you achieve with nylon CNC machining?

Our standard tolerances for nylon CNC machining are ±0.005″ (±0.13mm). For critical dimensions, we can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.002″ (±0.05mm) with proper tooling and process control. Glass-filled nylon grades typically offer better dimensional stability and tighter tolerances compared to unfilled variants.

Which nylon grade should I choose for my application?

The choice depends on your specific requirements. Nylon 6 is cost-effective for general applications, while Nylon 66 offers higher temperature resistance and stiffness. Glass-filled grades provide enhanced strength and dimensional stability for structural components. Cast nylon is ideal for large parts requiring excellent machinability. Our engineers can recommend the optimal grade based on your application requirements.

What is the typical lead time for custom nylon parts?

Standard lead times range from 5-15 business days depending on part complexity, quantity, and material availability. Simple prototypes can often be completed within 3-5 days, while complex production runs may require 2-3 weeks. We offer expedited services for urgent projects. Lead times are confirmed during the quoting process based on current workload and material stock.

Do you provide design assistance for nylon machining projects?

Yes, our experienced engineers provide comprehensive design for manufacturability (DFM) support. We review your designs to optimize them for nylon machining, recommend appropriate material grades, suggest cost-saving modifications, and ensure optimal performance. We also provide technical consultation on material selection, tolerance specification, and surface finish requirements.

What quality certifications and inspections do you provide?

We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and provide comprehensive quality documentation including material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and CMM measurement data. All parts undergo rigorous inspection using advanced metrology equipment. We also offer FAI (First Article Inspection) reports, PPAP documentation for automotive applications, and custom inspection protocols as required.
