Nylon absorbs moisture from the air and swells, so a part machined dry will grow in service. We machine oversize where needed and specify conditioning for critical fits.
Large parts: sheaves, gears, wear pads and rollers. Cast nylon gives better dimensional stability and lower internal stress than extruded stock in large sections.
It is stiffer and more dimensionally stable but more abrasive on tooling and lower in impact strength. Choose it for structural parts and plain nylon for impact loads.
Metals and engineering plastics for CNC machining: aluminium, stainless, steel, titanium, brass, copper and high-performance polymers with grade guidance.
Resins for injection moulding: ABS, PP, PC, PA, POM, PBT, PEEK and glass-filled grades with shrink, temperature and application guidance.
Materials for industrial 3D printing: PA12, PA11, glass-filled nylon, TPU, engineering resins and high-temperature polymers compared by process.
Sheet materials for fabrication: cold rolled and galvanised steel, stainless 304/316, aluminium 5052/6061 and copper, with thickness and finish guidance.
FRP and GRP material options: glass and carbon fibre reinforcements, polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins, foam and honeycomb core materials.
