Proceso: How ABS CNC Machining Works
El ABS CNC Machining Process follows a structured workflow to ensure efficiency and precision, from initial design to final inspection. Each step is carefully monitored to avoid errors and maintain quality. Below is a detailed process flow with key procedures and methodologies:
- Diseño & Programación: Engineers use CAD (Diseño asistido por computadora) software to create 3D models of the part. LEVA (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software then converts these models into machine-readable code, defining tool paths and cutting parameters. This methodology ensures that every detail of the part is accounted for.
- Preparación de materiales: The selected ABS material (based on client requirements) is cut into appropriate stock sizes. This step includes checking material properties (such as impact resistance and melting point) to confirm it meets the project’s needs.
- Machining Operation: La máquina CNC ejecuta las trayectorias de herramientas programadas., removing material from the ABS stock. Common operations include milling, torneado, and drilling. The process is automated, reducing human error and ensuring consistency across parts.
- Tratamiento superficial: Después del mecanizado, parts undergo surface finishing processes (such as polishing or coating) to improve appearance and durability. This step is critical for parts that require resistance to wear or environmental factors.
Inspección & Control de calidad: Parts are inspected using precision tools (such as calipers and coordinate measuring machines) to verify they meet tolerance levels and dimensional accuracy. Any defective parts are reworked or discarded to maintain quality standards.
Materiales: Types of ABS Used in Machining
Elegir lo correcto ABS Materials is essential for ensuring the performance of the final part. Different grades of ABS offer varying properties, making them suitable for specific applications. Below is a table of common ABS grades, their material properties, and typical uses:

Our material selection process involves working with clients to understand their application requirements (such as temperature exposure or load-bearing needs) and recommending the most suitable ABS grade. We source high-quality ABS materials from trusted suppliers to ensure consistency and reliability.
Tratamiento superficial: Enhancing ABS Part Quality
Tratamiento superficial is a critical step in ABS CNC Machining, as it improves the appearance, durabilidad, and functionality of the final part. There are several treatment methods available, each designed to address specific needs. Below is an overview of common surface finishing techniques for ABS parts:
| Método de tratamiento de superficies | Descripción | Beneficios | Surface Quality Result |
| Pulido | Abrasive materials (such as sandpaper or polishing compounds) are used to smooth the surface of the ABS part. | Removes machining marks, improves shine, enhances aesthetic appeal. | Liso, glossy surface with no visible defects. |
| Coating | A thin layer of material (such as paint, primer, or protective film) is applied to the part’s surface. | Increases resistance to wear, UV radiation, y exposición química; customizes color. | Uniform, durable coating with consistent color and finish. |
| Enchapado (Chrome or Nickel) | A metal layer is deposited on the ABS surface using electroplating techniques. | Mejora la conductividad, adds a metallic appearance, enhances corrosion resistance. | Shiny, metallic surface with good adhesion to the ABS base. |
| Surface Etching | A chemical or physical process is used to create a textured surface on the ABS part. | Improves adhesion for coatings or adhesives; provides a non-slip surface. | Textured surface with controlled roughness (Ra value: 0.8–3,2 µm). |
Our team has extensive experience in all these surface enhancement techniques, ensuring that each ABS part meets the client’s specific surface quality requirements.
Tolerancias: Ensuring Precision in ABS Machining
Tolerancias are a key measure of quality in ABS CNC Machining, as they determine how closely the final part matches the design specifications. Precisión y exactitud are critical, especially for parts used in industries such as aerospace or medical, where even small deviations can cause performance issues. Below is a table of typical tolerance ranges for ABS CNC Machining, based on part size and complexity:
