The Best CNC Materials for the Medical Device Industry

Delrin (Acetal)

Resin with good moisture-resistance, high wear-resistance, and low friction.

Polycarbonate (PC)

With almost twice the tensile strength of ABS, polycarbonate has superior mechanical and structural properties. Used widely in automotive, aerospace, medical, and other applications that require durability and stability. Solid infill parts are fully dense.

PEEK

Offering excellent tensile strength, PEEK is often used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in high-temperature, high-stress applications. PEEK resists chemicals, wear, and moisture.

UHMW PE

UHMWPE is a general-purpose material. It offers a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low surface friction, high impact strength, high chemical resistance, and does not absorb moisture.

PTFE (Teflon)

Teflon surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. It resists most solvents and is an excellent electrical insulator.

Polypropylene (PP)

PP has excellent electrical properties and little or no moisture absorption. It carries light loads for a long period in widely varying temperatures. It can be machined into parts requiring chemical or corrosion resistance.
