PCD Insert Tooling for Plastics

Plastics and reinforced plastics can be machined with PCD Inserts and PCD tooling.

The general perception is that plastic materials are easy to machine. However, soft plastics are not always so stable, and the machining process, which always generates heat, can affect dimensional and material properties like surface texture and colour, if the correct cutting tool is not applied.

PCD tools are particulary effective on abrasive plastics where plastics are reinforced with carbon fibres (CF) or glass fibres (GF).
