Plastic CNC Turning
Plastic CNC turning is a precise machining operation in which a tool moves only linearly and does not perform rotary movements (2-axis). Through CNC turning, relatively complex products can be made. Lathes generally work faster than milling machines and deliver the same high-quality and precision, made from round stock, whereas milling machines use sheet material.
What are the advantages of CNC turning plastic?
The major advantage of plastic CNC turning is that rounds and notches can be easily realized. This is particularly interesting when longer and larger material needs to be machined. The material is rotated at high speed and only turns around its X and Z axes. This creates a cylindrical shape. With plastic CNC turning, it is also possible to make precise and rapid grooves.
Possibilities of plastic CNC turning
The possibilities of plastic CNC turning are endless, making it one of the most commonly used machining techniques. This machining technique can produce complex and precise shapes such as cylinders, cones, and threads. Whether it’s prototyping, single pieces, or large-scale production, at BKB Precision, we guarantee high-quality components.
At BKB Precision, we have various turning machines and turning-milling combinations to provide the flexibility, precision, and efficiency that customers are looking for. During the setup of these machines, we take into account the unique properties of the plastic. Each type has its own specific characteristics that can influence the result. If you’re unsure which type is best suited for your application, feel free to contact us!

Frequently asked questions about plastic turning
CNC turning is a computer-controlled manufacturing process in which computer-controlled machines remove material to create precise cylindrical parts.
Depending on the machine used and the material, diameters of up to approx. 200 mm are possible when turning. Thanks to our modern and versatile machinery, smaller diameters or complex geometries can also be achieved from solid material.
POM, PTFE, PEEK, PVC, PA, PC, and other plastics are suitable for CNC turning. The choice depends on the intended use, the load, chemical resistance, machinability, and temperature requirements.
Thanks to our climate-controlled production halls, high-quality machines, and strict ISO processes, we achieve tolerances of up to ±3 µm. Consistently high precision is guaranteed by continuous quality assurance, modern measuring systems, and automated production processes—even for series production.
Additional processing steps include the assembly of (sub)assemblies, adhesive bonding with tailored adhesives (including UV) and welding processes such as infrared and hot gas welding. Individual adhesive techniques are also possible. Cleaning in accordance with phase 4 and processing under ISO class 7 conditions complete our range of services. We would be happy to advise you on the right processing steps.
Yes, medical and cleanroom requirements according to ISO class 7 and ISO 13485, including packaging, are possible.
