Info about engineering plastics
POM (Delrin), HDPE, HMPE, PET, PS, Nylon (PA6), ABS, etc. Plastic weak? Certainly not. Laser cutting is ideal for making high-end plastic parts. It is precise, fast and repeatable. With our special laser for volume production we make clean parts with no laser marks. Instantly ready for assembly.
Engineering plastics are strong, light and easy to machine.
Laser cutting is often used for steel, aluminum and stainless steel but most engineering plastics are also good for laser cutting. The laser cut is usually about 0.2mm so you can make small details, sharp corners well-fitting joints.
POM, or polyacetal, also known by the brand name Delrin, is the most commonly lasered plastic. Not surprisingly; it is rigid and extremely tough. With an E-modulus of 3100 N/mm²and hardness of Shore D 81, it is a good choice for mounting plates, structural parts, brackets, mechanisms, etc. POM is chemically resistant and dimensionally stable. It absorbs little moisture.
HDPE excels at toughness. HDPE can stretch as much as 500% before breaking. It is less rigid with an E-modulus of 800 N/mm². The density of HDPE is 950 kg/m³ making it more or less weightless in water. HDPE is quite soft.
Polypropylene film is widely used for technical applications such as interlayers, insulators and other applications requiring films. The surface is textured on one side making it scratch resistant and always looks neat.
PETG is transparent and flexible. It is used, for example, as visor in PPE or protective covers in machinery.
