CNC prototypes made of plastic

CNC Prototyping at Ensinger offers you precise and high-quality solutions for the development of cnc prototypes made of plastic. With state-of-the-art CNC technology, we efficiently transform your ideas into accurate results that meet the requirements of your CNC projects. Our many years of experience in plastic processing allow us to quickly and reliably realise high-quality plastic prototypes for various industries.

Precision and flexibility in the development process: When to use CNC prototypes

CNC prototyping is used as soon as the design in a CAD model is fully developed and the demands for precision and functionality increase. At this stage of the development process, a physical prototype is required to evaluate the design under real-world conditions and validate technical specifications. CNC prototypes offer significant advantages in this regard, including high dimensional accuracy and the ability to implement complex geometries directly from the digital model with precision. This enables efficient integration of changes and optimisations without requiring additional tools or molds. As such, plastic cnc prototypes are an ideal method for producing functional models that refine the design and prepare for series production.

Materials for CNC prototypes

At Ensinger, you have access to a wide range of over 25 high-performance thermoplastics, as well as more than 100 modifications in the form of plates, rods and tubes, available in stock for CNC prototyping. These materials are characterised by their excellent mechanical properties and other specific advantages.

Materials like PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)POM (Polyoxymethylene), and PA (Polyamide) offer outstanding strength, temperature resistance, and chemical resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications. TECAFORM (POM) is noted for its excellent machinability and high dimensional stability, while TECAPEEK (PEEK) is known for extreme temperature and chemical resistance. TECAMID (PA) and TECAST (PA 6 C) offer a balanced combination of toughness and abrasion resistance. These materials are ideal for producing precise and durable CNC plastic prototypes that meet the requirements of various industries.

CNC processing techniques: Prototype cnc milling and turning

Ensinger's CNC processing techniques include precise protoype milling and turning of plastic materials. This allows us to manufacture cnc prototypes with complex geometries directly from CAD models. Complemented by CNC drilling for precise boreholes, these high-precision methods allow the production of both simple and complex CNC prototypes with minimal tolerances. Our modern facility, along with extensive post-processing methods, ensures the highest accuracy and repeatability, supporting the efficient development of CNC prototypes and preparation for series production.
