Why Nylon (Polyamide) for CNC?
Exceptional mechanical strength, low friction, wear & chemical resistance — ideal for moving assemblies and metal replacement.
High Strength-to-Weight
Lightweight alternative to metals, reduces inertia in dynamic systems.
Thermal & Chemical
Resists oils, fuels, solvents & elevated temps (up to 120°C).
Abrasion & Wear
Self-lubricating properties, ideal for gears, bushings & bearings.
Excellent Machinability
Clean cuts, tight tolerances ±0.005” with 5-axis CNC.
Nylon Grades We Support
Select the right polyamide grade based on load, stiffness, moisture resistance, and environmental conditions.
Grade | Key Features | Typical Applications | Machinability |
Nylon 6 (PA6) | Tough, high fatigue resistance, good impact strength | Gears, cams, structural parts | Excellent |
Nylon 6/6 (PA66) | Higher strength, stiffness & temperature resistance | High-load bearings, automotive components | Good |
Nylon 6 + 30% GF | Glass-fiber reinforced → ultra-high stiffness & creep resistance | Housings, pump impellers, brackets | Medium (abrasive) |
Nylon 6/6 30% GF | Enhanced tensile strength, dimensional stability | Structural industrial parts | Medium |
Flame Retardant Nylon | UL94 V-0, excellent electrical insulation | Electronic enclosures, connectors | Good |

What Our Customers Say — Real Results, Real Trust
Real feedback from engineers who needed tighter tolerances, faster prototypes, and a manufacturing partner that actually delivers.
“Allied Metal machined 500 glass-filled nylon brackets with exceptional repeatability. Their DFM feedback reduced our cost by 22% and lead time by 10 days. The quality was consistent across the entire production run.”
Laura K.
Procurement Director, Automotive Tier 1
“We needed medical-grade PA6 housings with vapor-polished finish. Allied Metal delivered flawless clarity and consistent tolerances. Their quality control and documentation met our strict ISO 13485 requirements.”
Dr. James L.
R&D Director, MedTech
“We replaced metal impellers with Nylon 66 30% GF, saving 65% weight. Allied Metal delivered prototypes in 6 days and then a production run of 2000 units. Their PTFE coating option extended wear life significantly.”
