CNC equipment for machining plastics and lightweight materials

Although our range of machining centers is designed mainly for metalworking, it is also used to machine engineering plastics, composites, tooling board and other lightweight materials, within the speed and feed parameters suited to each material.

Types of plastics and composites that can be CNC machined

Materials that can be machined with our equipment include engineering plastics, composites, composite panels and tooling board used in molding, among others. For specific plastic materials, see our pages on PVC, acrylic and technical polymers.

Advantages of CNC machining for engineering plastics

Plastics are usually machined at higher cutting speeds than metals, so a high-speed spindle such as the one on our vertical series is also suitable for this type of material, always adapting the tool to avoid melting or chipping the plastic.

Vurcon machines recommended for plastics and composites

  • Vertical machining centers with spindles of up to 10,000 rpm
  • Automatic tool changer for different operations
  • Numerical control to program feeds specific to each material

Frequently asked questions about CNC plastics machining

Are Vurcon machines designed for plastic or for metal?

Our range is designed mainly for machining metal, although it is also used for engineering plastics and composites. It is not our main focus, but it is a common application among our customers.

What tool is needed to machine plastic?

Tools specific to plastic, different from those used for metal, to avoid chipping or melting the material through friction.

Can composites and tooling board be machined?

Yes, within the appropriate speed and feed parameters. Check with our technical team about the recommendations for your specific material.
