Nylon CNC Machining Service

What Is Nylon CNC Machining?

Nylon CNC machining is when we use computer-controlled tools to cut and shape nylon plastic into parts with exact measurements. At Istar Machining, we make custom nylon parts that are strong, light, and work great in many different machines and products.

Our team uses advanced machines to create parts from different types of nylon (PA6, PA66, PA12) with very tight tolerances of ±0.01mm (that’s thinner than a human hair!). These parts are perfect for industries that need parts that won’t wear out quickly, can handle chemicals, and work smoothly in moving systems.

Why Choose Nylon for Your CNC Parts?

Nylon has some amazing qualities that make it perfect for many uses:

• Low friction – Parts slide against each other with less rubbing
• Tough and strong – Doesn’t break easily under stress
• Chemical resistant – Doesn’t get damaged by oils, fuels, or chemicals
• Temperature stable – Works well from very cold (-40°C) to very hot (120°C)
• Lightweight – Weighs less than metal parts
• Affordable – Costs less than many other materials

These qualities make nylon perfect for parts like gears, bearings, and bushings that need to move smoothly without wearing down.

Our Nylon CNC Machining Capabilities

At Istar Machining, we use top-quality equipment to make perfect nylon parts. Here’s what we can do:

Machining Methods

We use different machining methods to make your custom nylon parts:

• CNC milling for complex shapes (https://istarmachining.com/cnc-milling/)
• CNC turning for round parts (https://istarmachining.com/cnc-turning/)
• 5-axis machining for the most complex designs (https://istarmachining.com/5-axis-machining/)
• Drilling for precise holes
• Threading for parts that connect together

Industries We Serve With Nylon Parts

Automotive

Our nylon parts are used in cars and trucks for things like:

• Bushings that help parts move smoothly
• Sensor housings that protect important electronics
• Noise-reducing parts that make vehicles quieter

Medical

We make parts for medical devices that are:

• Safe to use in the human body
• Easy to clean and sterilize
• Made with FDA-approved materials

Aerospace

Our lightweight nylon parts help in:

• Making aircraft parts that don’t add too much weight
• Creating drone parts that need to be light but strong
• Building brackets that hold important equipment

Industrial

Factories and industrial machines use our parts for:

• Rollers that move materials along conveyor belts
• Pump parts that move liquids without corroding
• Electrical parts that don’t conduct electricity

Types of Nylon We Machine

We work with many types of nylon, each with special qualities:

• PA6 (Nylon 6): Good all-around nylon that’s easy to machine
• PA66 (Nylon 66): Stronger and stiffer than PA6
• PA12 (Nylon 12): Absorbs less water, good for wet environments
• Glass-Filled Nylon: Has tiny glass fibers mixed in to make it 80% stiffer
• FDA-Compliant Nylon: Safe for food contact and medical use
• Anti-Static Nylon: Doesn’t build up static electricity

Real-World Examples of Our Nylon CNC Parts

Custom Gears for Robotics

We made special gears for a robot arm that needed to move smoothly and quietly. The nylon gears were:

• Lighter than metal gears
• Quieter during operation
• More affordable to replace
• Self-lubricating for longer life

Medical Device Components

A medical equipment company asked us to make parts for a new surgical tool. Our nylon parts were:

• Safe for sterilization
• Lightweight for surgeon comfort
• Precise enough for delicate procedures
• FDA-compliant for medical use

Aerospace Brackets

An aircraft manufacturer needed lightweight brackets. Our solution:

• 70% lighter than aluminum parts
• Strong enough to meet safety standards
• Resistant to vibration and fatigue
• Cost-effective for production runs
