Fathom offers the CNC machining of high-quality plastic parts to its customers. Fathom can manufacture parts with excellent detail using the most up-to-date CNC technology. Our team has tackled thousands of CNC machined jobs and is ready to work on your design today.
CNC or Computer Numerical Control manufacturing is a highly efficient technology wherein pre-programmed software guides the movements of manufacturing equipment. CNC machining facilitates three-dimensional cutting tasks using only a single set of prompts. The automated nature of CNC manufacturing removes the need for a live operator, reducing costs. CNC machining is perfect for manufacturing solid raw materials, including plastic.
There are multiple advantages when using CNC manufacturing technology to produce plastic parts. Prototypes can be made quickly because there is no custom mold. Since no mold is constructed, the turnaround time is faster, reducing costs. Tighter tolerances are possible with CNC machining, making it a good solution for applications requiring precision. Plastic offers good chemical and corrosion resistance.
Fathom offers numerous plastics for CNC machining, including:
Work with Fathom on your next CNC machining job. Fathom offers many CNC services, including CNC 3 & 5 AXIS, CNC milling and turning, sinker EDM, wire EDM, Swiss machining and more. As part of our comprehensive services, we also offer finishing and post-processing. CNC machining is just one of 28 manufacturing services.
Fathom’s manufacturing facilities are powered by over 530 machines, including mills, lathes, presses, press brakes, turret punches and additive systems. Fathom has equipment dedicated to metal prototype fabrication, including lasers, waterjet machines, finishing tools, autodeburring, 4 slide machines, multi-slide machines, press brakes, 300-ton presses, 22-ton presses, wire EDM machines, seely slide forming tools and 35-ton blanking presses.
Fathom provides not just CNC machining but also hybridized services leveraging prototype fabrication and additive manufacturing. Need metal prototype fabrication as part of a more complex project? Fathom can handle it. A recent case study is listed below where Fathom delivered 20,000 parts in 27 days using 55+ tools, including metal prototype fabrication services:
