What We Offer for HDPE Machining
HDPE is widely used in water treatment, packaging, and food handling due to its excellent chemical resistance and impact strength. But its low melting point and high flexibility can lead to chip entanglement, part distortion, and difficulty in holding tolerances — making professional machining control essential.
CNC Milling for HDPE
Milling is ideal for producing HDPE parts with flat surfaces, cavities, and complex profiles — such as:
- Fluid trays and equipment covers
- Lightweight panels and protective housings
- Custom brackets and valve blocks
To ensure clean results, we use:
- Sharp polished cutters to reduce friction
- Low cutting speeds to avoid thermal deformation
- Fixturing strategies to stabilize flexible parts during milling
CNC Turning for HDPE
Turning is commonly used for round HDPE components like:
- Spacers, bushings, and pipe fittings
- Low-friction sleeves and washers
- Food-safe rotating parts
Our turning process includes:
- Fine-tuned tool geometries to reduce edge tearing
- Stable clamping setups for consistent concentricity
- Deburring and trimming to ensure surface integrity
HDPE CNC Machining FAQs
For most parts, we can achieve tolerances up to ±0.05 mm. For tighter specs, we’ll assess feasibility based on geometry and function.
HDPE parts usually have a clean, matte finish straight off the machine. We also offer optional edge smoothing, deburring, and polishing. However, due to HDPE’s low surface energy, it’s not suitable for painting or coating without pre-treatment.
Send us your part design — we’ll help you compare HDPE with alternatives like polypropylene, UHMW, or ABS, based on your performance and cost needs.
It depends on your application. HDPE is impact-resistant and durable, but it’s relatively soft and flexible — better suited for low-load, non-precision assemblies.
