Why Choose Polystyrene for CNC Machining?

Polystyrene (PS) offers exceptional machinability, dimensional stability, and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for precision manufacturing applications across multiple industries.

 

Excellent Machinability

Superior cutting properties with minimal tool wear, enabling complex geometries and tight tolerances with smooth surface finishes.

 

Dimensional Stability

Maintains precise dimensions under varying temperature and humidity conditions, ensuring consistent part performance.

 

Cost-Effective

Competitive material costs combined with efficient machining characteristics deliver outstanding value for precision parts.

 

Electrical Insulation

Outstanding electrical insulation properties make PS ideal for electronic housings and electrical components.

 

Lightweight

Low density material reduces component weight while maintaining structural integrity and performance characteristics.

 

Chemical Resistance

Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and various chemicals, suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our polystyrene CNC machining services

What tolerances can you achieve with CNC machined polystyrene parts?

We can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.002″ (±0.05mm) on critical dimensions for polystyrene parts. Standard tolerances are typically ±0.005″ (±0.13mm) depending on part geometry and size. Our precision machining equipment and quality control systems ensure consistent dimensional accuracy across production runs.

What is the typical lead time for custom polystyrene CNC parts?

Standard lead time for custom polystyrene CNC machined parts is 5-7 business days after order confirmation. Rush orders can be accommodated in 2-3 days with expedited processing. Lead times may vary based on part complexity, quantity, and current production schedule.

What surface finishes are available for polystyrene parts?

We offer various surface finishes including as-machined (standard), polished, textured, and painted finishes. Polystyrene naturally provides a smooth surface finish directly from machining. Additional finishing options include vapor polishing for optical clarity and custom texturing for aesthetic or functional requirements.

What file formats do you accept for CNC machining quotes?

We accept all major CAD file formats including STEP, IGES, STL, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and 2D technical drawings (PDF/DWG). For best results, provide 3D CAD files with dimensional tolerances and surface finish requirements clearly specified.

Do you provide material certificates for polystyrene parts?

Yes, we provide complete material certificates and mill test certificates for all polystyrene grades used in production. Our documentation includes material composition, mechanical properties, and traceability information to ensure compliance with your quality requirements and industry standards.

What is your minimum order quantity for polystyrene CNC parts?

We have no minimum order quantity requirements. Whether you need a single prototype or thousands of production parts, we can accommodate your needs. Our flexible manufacturing approach allows us to efficiently handle both low-volume and high-volume orders with consistent quality and competitive pricing.
