Custom CNC Machining Polystyrene Parts
Professional precision polystyrene (PS) CNC machining services by Rapidaccu. 15 years of expertise in manufacturing high-quality custom polystyrene components with exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
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.
