CNC Machining PMMA (Acrylic)

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic or organic glass, is a polymer with high transparency, low cost, and ease of mechanical processing. The CNC acrylic is commonly used as a substitute for glass and finds wide applications in various fields such as construction, decorative, advertising, electronics, communications, and transportation. PMMA's properties can be described as follows:

Custom acrylic sheets have good processing properties, and the common processing methods are as follows:

Cutting: CNC acrylic panels can be cut using manual or automatic cutting machines. When cutting, make sure the saw blade is sharp and at a moderate speed to avoid melting or cracking.

Drilling: Acrylic custom panels can be drilled using a drill bit. When drilling, choose a suitable drill bit at a moderate speed to avoid melting or cracking due to overheating.

Hot bending: Use a heat gun, hot bending machine or other heating equipment to heat the acrylic plate to a certain temperature and then bend it. During the heating process, the temperature should be kept uniform to avoid deformation or bubbles caused by local overheating.

Polishing: You can use polishing machines, grinding wheels, cotton wheels and other tools to polish the surface of the acrylic plate to improve the surface finish. When polishing, pay attention to the moderate speed and avoid overheating.

Engraving: Acrylic plates can be engraved by an engraving machine or laser engraving machine to achieve various patterns and text. When CNC acrylic engraving, choose appropriate tools and parameters to avoid damaging the material.

Bonding: You can use special acrylic glue to bond acrylic panels. When bonding, make sure the contact surface is clean and flat to improve the bonding strength.

Milling: You can use CNC milling acrylic to mill out complex product parts.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic or organic glass, is a high molecular weight polymer. The acrylic for CNC is highly transparent, cost-effective, and easy to machine, making it a commonly used substitute for glass.Industries where machining PMMA finds wide applications include:
