Nylon CNC Machining
Machined nylon parts have well-rounded mechanical properties and good wear resistance
Nylon is a go-to material choice for mechanical components that will experience wear and friction. It can even be used as a metal replacement in some instances.
We offer multiple nylons through our CNC machining service:
- Nylon 6 Light Blue
- Nylon 6/6
- Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled Natural
- Nylon 6 Black
