PMMA (also called acrylic) is a clear plastic that we can shape with our CNC machines. At Istar Machining, we turn this amazing material into parts that look like glass but are lighter and stronger. Our CNC machining service uses computer-controlled tools to cut and shape PMMA with perfect accuracy.
PMMA has many great features that make it perfect for many uses:
Feature | Details | Benefits |
Material Types | Cast or extruded acrylic | Choose cast for better looks or extruded for lower cost |
Thickness Range | 0.5mm to 50mm | From paper-thin to chunky blocks |
Tolerance | ±0.005mm | Parts fit together perfectly |
Flame Polishing | Ultra-clear edges | Museum-quality clear edges |
FDA-Approved | Medical-grade options | Safe for medical and food use |
Surface Finish | Mirror-like (Ra 0.8µm) | Beautiful, smooth surfaces |
Our 5-axis machining center can create even the most complex PMMA parts. Here’s how we do it:
