Why Choose ABS for CNC Machining?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is an engineering thermoplastic that offers excellent machinability, impact resistance, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for precision CNC manufacturing.

 

Excellent Machinability

ABS machines easily with clean cuts and precise details. Low cutting forces and minimal tool wear make it cost-effective for both prototyping and production.

 

High Impact Resistance

Superior toughness and impact strength make ABS parts durable and reliable. Withstands mechanical stress without cracking or breaking.

 

Cost-Effective Solution

Competitive material costs combined with efficient machining properties deliver exceptional value for both short-run and volume production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ABS CNC machining services

What tolerances can you achieve with ABS CNC machining?  

We can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.005″ (±0.125mm) for ABS CNC machined parts. Standard tolerances are ±0.010″ (±0.25mm) which is suitable for most applications. Tighter tolerances may be possible depending on part geometry and size, with additional costs for enhanced fixturing and quality control.

What is the typical lead time for ABS CNC machining projects?  

Standard ABS CNC machining projects typically require 3-7 business days depending on complexity and quantity. Simple parts can be completed in 3-4 days, while complex geometries or large quantities may take 5-7 days. Rush service is available for urgent projects with 1-2 day turnaround possible for additional fees.

What ABS grades do you offer for CNC machining?  

We offer multiple ABS grades including General Purpose ABS, High Impact ABS, Flame Retardant ABS (UL94 V-0), Antistatic ABS, ABS+PC blends, and Medical Grade ABS. Each grade has specific properties optimized for different applications. Our engineers can help you select the most suitable grade based on your requirements.

What surface finishes are available for ABS parts?  

We provide various surface finishes including as-machined, bead blasting, polishing, painting, powder coating, and custom texturing. Surface roughness can range from Ra 0.1μm (mirror polish) to Ra 3.2μm (as-machined). Color options include RAL colors, Pantone matching, and custom colors to meet your branding requirements.

What is the minimum order quantity for ABS CNC machining?  

We have no minimum order quantity – you can order just 1 piece for prototyping or thousands for production. Our flexible manufacturing approach accommodates both small-batch prototyping and high-volume production runs. Pricing becomes more competitive with larger quantities due to economies of scale.

How do you ensure quality control for ABS machined parts?  

We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification and use advanced inspection equipment including CMM machines, optical comparators, and precision measuring instruments. Every part undergoes dimensional inspection, surface quality checks, and material verification. We provide detailed inspection reports and certificates of compliance upon request.
