Plastic & Aluminium

CNC routers are often only considered for machining wood- based sheet materials.  

However, they are sometimes the ideal piece of equipment to make items from light alloys such as aluminium.  

At Lydwood we have a small client base whose items are machined on our dedicated CNC machines.

Many grades of engineering plastics can be economically CNC routed including:

• Polyethylene
• Polypropylene
• Nylon
• Acrylic
• High Impact Polystyrene (HIP)
• Corian
• Polycarbonate
• Tufnol
