Best PC CNC Machining Services
MachMaster offers precision CNC machining services for polycarbonate (PC) parts, providing high impact resistance, excellent transparency, and great machinability. PC is ideal for demanding applications in electronics, automotive, and safety equipment, where durability and clarity are essential.
Material Description
Polycarbonate (PC) is a durable and transparent thermoplastic known for its impact resistance, high strength, and ease of machining. With excellent dimensional stability and optical clarity, PC is widely used for both structural and aesthetic components in industries that require transparency and durability.
Advantages of PC
- Exceptional impact resistance, even at low temperatures
- High optical clarity, ideal for transparent applications
- Good dimensional stability and low moisture absorption
- Excellent machinability, making it easy to process into complex parts
- Flame-resistant (UL 94 V-0 rating)
Wide Application of Polycarbonate
PC parts are commonly used in applications that require transparency, high strength, and resistance to impact. Common uses include:
Optical lenses, light covers, and window panels
Electrical enclosures and housings
Automotive headlamp lenses and interior components
Safety equipment such as helmets, shields, and eyewear
Medical devices and machinery covers
Polycarbonate Grades We Machine
We work with various grades of polycarbonate to meet your specific application needs:
General Purpose Polycarbonate – Standard grade for general applications where impact resistance and clarity are required.
Flame-Retardant Polycarbonate – PC with added flame-retardant properties, often used in electrical and aerospace applications.
Optical Grade Polycarbonate – Ultra-high clarity and surface smoothness, ideal for lenses, covers, and lighting components.
