Resin is a versatile material widely used in aerospace, Automobil, Elektronik, and medical industries—but achieving high-quality results with CNC machining resin requires understanding its unique properties, optimizing tool selection and cutting parameters, und die Vermeidung häufiger Fallstricke. Dieser Leitfaden löst die wichtigsten Problempunkte, from material mismatch to machining deformation, by breaking down core material traits, Schritt-für-Schritt-Workflows, und reale Anwendungen.
1. Key Properties of Resin Materials for CNC Machining
Resin’s diverse properties make it suitable for various scenarios, but choosing the right type based on performance needs is critical. The table below highlights core traits and examples:
| Eigenschaftskategorie | Schlüsselmerkmale | Typical Resin Examples | Praktische Auswirkungen |
| Physische Eigenschaften | Moderate density (1.0–1.5g/cm³); einfach zu handhaben | Polycarbonat (1.20–1.22g/cm³), Polyethylen (Pe, 0.91–0.96g/cm³) | Reduces strain on machining equipment; simplifies material loading/unloading |
| Wärmestabilität | Withstands 60–300°C (variiert je nach Typ); resists deformation | SPÄHEN (up to 250°C continuous use), PI (bis zu 300 ° C.) | Enables use in high-temperature environments (Z.B., automotive engine compartments, medical sterilization) |
| Mechanische Stärke | Hohe Zugfestigkeit; customizable via reinforcement | Carbon fiber-reinforced resin (5x stronger than pure resin), Nylon 66 (70MPA -Zugfestigkeit) | Meets structural needs (Z.B., Luft- und Raumfahrtklammern, automotive load-bearing parts) |
| Resistenz tragen | Niedriger Reibungskoeffizient; long service life in friction scenarios | Ptfe (0.04 Reibungskoeffizient), UHMWPE | Ideal for seals, Lager, and sliding components (Z.B., industrial machine guides) |
| Chemischer Widerstand | Widersteht Säuren, Alkalis, und Lösungsmittel; Keine Korrosion | Pe, Pp, Ptfe | Suitable for chemical containers, Rohre, und Laborgeräte |
| Elektrische Isolierung | Niedrige elektrische Leitfähigkeit; blocks current flow | Epoxidharz, PI | Critical for electronics (Z.B., Leiterplattenklammern, insulated device shells) |
Beispiel: If you’re machining a part for a chemical plant’s fluid pipe, PE or PP resin is ideal—their chemical resistance prevents corrosion from acidic fluids, while their moderate density makes machining efficient.
2. CNC Machining Resin: Werkzeugauswahl & Schneidenparameter
Using the wrong tools or parameters leads to 60% of resin machining errors, such as rough surfaces or tool wear. Follow this structured approach for optimal results.
2.1 Werkzeugauswahl: Match Tools to Resin Type
Resin’s low hardness (vs. Metalle) requires sharp, high-wear-resistance tools. Die folgende Tabelle vereinfacht die Auswahl:
| Harztyp | Recommended Tool Material | Werkzeugbeschichtung (Bei Bedarf) | Schlüsselvorteile |
| Pure Resins (Pe, Pp, PC) | Hochgeschwindigkeitsstahl (HSS), Carbid | Keiner (or TiN for extended life) | Sharp edges ensure smooth cuts; low cost for high-volume runs |
| Reinforced Resins (Carbon fiber-reinforced, Glass fiber-reinforced) | Carbid (Wolfram -Carbid) | Tialn, CrN (reduces tool wear from abrasive fibers) | Coating resists fiber-induced abrasion; maintains tool sharpness for 2–3x longer |
| High-Temp Resins (SPÄHEN, PI) | Fine-grain Carbide | Gold (withstands high machining temperatures) | Handles heat generated during machining; prevents tool softening |
Kritische Regel: Never use dull tools for resin machining—dull edges tear resin instead of cutting it, raue Oberflächen lassen (Ra > 3.2μm) and increasing material waste.
2.2 Schneidenparameter: Balance-Geschwindigkeit, Füttern, und Tiefe
Incorrect parameters cause overheating (resin melting) oder Verformung. Use these industry-proven ranges:
| Parameter | Pure Resins (Pe, Pp) | Reinforced Resins (Carbon fiber-reinforced) | High-Temp Resins (SPÄHEN, PI) |
| Schnittgeschwindigkeit | 1,500–3.000 U / min | 1,000–2.000 U / min (slower to reduce fiber-induced tool wear) | 800–1.800 U / min (slower to avoid overheating) |
| Futterrate | 100–250 mm/min | 80–180 mm/min (lower to prevent tool chipping) | 50–150 mm/min (lower to maintain precision) |
| Schnitttiefe | 1–5 mm pro Pass | 0.5–3 mm per pass (shallower to reduce tool stress) | 0.5–2 mm per pass (shallower to avoid material deformation) |
Fallstudie: A manufacturer machining carbon fiber-reinforced resin used HSS tools with no coating. Die Werkzeuge danach stumpf 50 Teile, causing rough edges. Switching to TiAlN-coated carbide tools extended tool life to 150 parts and improved surface finish (Ra from 6.3μm to 1.6μm).
2.3 Kühlung & Schmierung: Prevent Overheating
Resin melts at lower temperatures than metals—effective cooling is essential.
| Kühlmethode | Am besten für | Vorteile | Anwendungsbeispiel |
| Air Cooling | Pure resins (Pe, Pp); kleine Teile | No fluid residue; easy cleanup | Machining small PP electrical connectors |
| Water Cooling | High-temp resins (SPÄHEN, PI); Große Teile | Better heat dissipation; reduces tool temperature by 40% | Machining PEEK medical implant blanks |
| Lubricant Selection | All resin types | Oil-based (for heavy cuts) or water-based (for precision cuts) | Oil-based for carbon fiber-reinforced resin brackets; water-based for PC transparent parts |
3. Key Applications of CNC Machining Resin
Resin’s versatility makes it indispensable across industries. Below are real-world use cases with tangible benefits:
3.1 Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie
- Interior Parts: Seats, Panels, and cabin fixtures made from lightweight resin reduce aircraft weight by 15–20%, Verbesserung der Kraftstoffeffizienz.

3.2 Automobilindustrie
| Anwendung | Harztyp | Vorteile |
| Stoßstangen, Dashboards | Pp, ABS (with fillers) | Wirkungsbeständig; Anpassbare Farben |
| Formen (Injektion, Die-Casting) | Epoxidharz, Phenolharz | Dimensionsstabilität; low cost vs. Metallformen |

4. Perspektive der Yigu -Technologie
Bei Yigu Technology, we see CNC machining resin as a cost-effective, flexible solution for modern manufacturing. Many clients struggle with tool wear (especially for reinforced resins) und Parameteroptimierung – unser Rat ist, beschichtete Hartmetallwerkzeuge für verstärkte Harze zu bevorzugen und mit Schnittgeschwindigkeiten im mittleren Bereich zu beginnen (1,500–2.000 U / min) für reine Harze. Wir integrieren KI in unsere CNC-Systeme, um Parameter basierend auf dem Harztyp automatisch anzupassen, Schnittfehler durch 35% und Werkzeugkosten um 20%. Da die Industrie leichtere Produkte verlangt, langlebigere Teile, Harze für die CNC-Bearbeitung werden immer wichtiger – und wir sind bestrebt, sie für Unternehmen jeder Größe zugänglich zu machen.
5. FAQ: Antworten auf häufig gestellte Fragen
Q1: Can I machine transparent resin (Z.B., PC) without losing clarity?
A1: Ja – verwenden Sie scharfe Hartmetallwerkzeuge (0.2mm Schneidenradius), Gleitmittel auf Wasserbasis, and low feed rate (80–120 mm/min). Überhitzung vermeiden (use water cooling) and sand the surface with 1,000–2,000 mesh sandpaper post-machining to retain transparency.
Q2: How do I fix resin deformation during machining?
A2: Deformation usually comes from overheating or excessive cutting depth. Korrekturen: 1. Reduce cutting speed by 500–1,000 RPM. 2. Decrease cutting depth to 0.5–1mm per pass. 3. Use water cooling to lower material temperature.
Q3: Is CNC machining resin more cost-effective than injection molding for small batches?
A3: Yes—for batches of 1–100 parts, CNC machining avoids mold costs (\(5,000- )50,000 Für Injektionsformen). Für Chargen von 1,000+ Teile, injection molding is cheaper—but CNC machining offers faster turnaround (1–2 Tage vs. 2–4 weeks for mold production).
