Can plastic be machined?
Plastic can be machined using a CNC machine, but it requires specific setup and care.
The machine must be aligned properly, the cutting tool must have the correct height to cut through the plastic material without distortion, and temperatures must be sufficiently low to avoid melting or burning the plastic.

3D printing vs. CNC machining: which is better for plastic parts?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best option for plastic parts may vary depending on the part and its specific needs.
However, 3D printing can often be a good choice for simple components or prototypes that don’t require precision or intricate details.
Meanwhile, CNC machining is more reliable and efficient when producing high-quality parts with precise dimensions.
