Material Overview
POM Material for Custom CNC Machining and Injection Molding
POM, also known as acetal, is a commonly used engineering plastic for precision and functional plastic parts. It is suitable for projects that require dimensional stability, low friction, wear resistance, and good mechanical strength.
At Yinuomold, POM can be used for CNC machined plastic parts and injection molded plastic components, depending on the part structure, production quantity, tolerance requirements, and final application.
Key Features of POM
POM may offer the following material characteristics:
– Good dimensional stability
– Low friction
– Wear resistance
– Good machinability
– Mechanical strength
– Suitable stiffness
– Suitable chemical resistance for many applications
Because POM is often used for functional parts, the final material grade and production method should be evaluated according to product structure, tolerance requirements, load conditions, and usage environment.
Applicable Manufacturing Processes
POM can be used for:
– CNC machined plastic parts
– Prototype plastic components
– Low-volume production parts
– Injection molded functional plastic parts
Typical Applications
POM is commonly used in:
– Gears
– Bushings
– Rollers
– Guide rails
– Spacers
– Sliding parts
– Precision plastic components
– Mechanical functional parts
– Industrial plastic parts
Project Evaluation
For POM parts, we usually review the drawing, part size, tolerance requirements, material grade, working environment, surface requirements, and production quantity before confirming the suitable manufacturing process.
The final material and process should be selected according to the product function, dimensional requirements, wear resistance needs, mechanical load, cost, and production volume.
