Acrylic CNC Machining

Acrylic, abbreviated as PMMA, is a transparent thermoplastic polymer, which is by far the most excellent texture of synthetic transparent materials, with the advantages of high transparency, low price, easy mechanical processing, etc. It is an alternative material to glass and can also be called plexiglass.

CNC machined acrylic parts are used in every corner of our daily lives. Including; automotive industry, medical equipment, consumer electronics, machinery and equipment.

Choosing Acrylic for Manufacturing

High light transmittance

The light transmittance of ordinary glass is generally 82-83%, while the light transmittance of 6mm super white glass transparent panel is 90%-92%.

Low density and light quality

Acrylic belongs to a fairly light material, the density is only 1.17 ~ 1.20g/cm³, about 50% of ordinary glass, 43% of metal aluminum.

Strong impact resistance

Is sixteen times the ordinary glass, almost no risk of fracture.

Insulation material

Acrylic has excellent electrical insulation, in many electronic products are applied to the small components insulator.
