Polyamide, often referred to simply as nylon, is often used as a metal substitute due to its property profile and light weight. Since PA plastic tends to absorb water and thus changes its dimensions, this typical PA property must be taken into account when designing polyamide components.
Regardless of the tolerance requirements or whether a fibre reinforced nylon is to be machined, Ensinger has the right solutions in terms of parameters and tools. Thanks to our broad base of equipment, we have suitable machines for nylon CNC machining in the areas of polyamide turning (nylon turning) and polyamide milling (nylon milling) for a wide range of component geometries.
In addition to the polyamide stock shapes listed above, injection molded PA blanks or individual PA profiles and PA tubes can also be machined.
Our qualified team will be happy to advise you on this in order to find the most efficient material and process for your application!
