Precision ABS CNC Machining Services | Custom ABS Parts
High precision custom ABS parts for engineering teams, OEMs and product designers. Rapid prototypes to production runs with reliable quality and fast lead times.
Why Choose ABS for CNC Machining?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most commonly used engineering plastics in CNC machining due to its strength, impact resistance and excellent machinability.
It is widely used for enclosures, automotive parts, prototypes, and consumer products because it provides a good balance of durability and cost efficiency.
- High impact resistance
- Lightweight engineering plastic
- Good surface finish after machining
- Easy to paint and post-process

Common Uses
Our CNC Machining Capabilities
Our 200+ machine fleet handles everything from simple prismatic parts to complex 5-axis contours. Every ABS job benefits from our 20+ years of plastics machining experience — including dedicated feeds/speeds libraries tuned specifically for ABS to eliminate burrs and stress whitening.
3 / 4 / 5-Axis Milling
Full 5-axis simultaneous machining for undercuts, compound angles, and complex organic profiles. Ideal for instrument panels, housings, and ergonomic enclosures.
CNC Turning & Mill-Turn
High-speed turning for cylindrical ABS components — fittings, bushings, spools — with live tooling for cross-holes, flats, and threaded features in a single setup.
Precision Drilling & Tapping
Countersunk, counterbored, and tapped holes with heat-set or ultrasonic inserts available for load-bearing threaded features in ABS enclosures and assemblies.
Surface Finishing
Machining, grinding, polishing, painting, primer treatment, UV coating, or steam polishing. We coordinate color matching and texture specifications to ensure parts arrive ready for assembly.
CMM Inspection
100% first-article inspection on new programs using imported CMM equipment. PPAP-style dimensional reports and material certs available on request.
Assembly & Kitting
Welding, brazing of metal hardware, sub-assembly, and protective packaging. Ship direct-to-line or to your 3PL — reducing your internal touch-time to zero.

Applications of ABS CNC Machining
- Diagnostic housings, medical Instrument cases
- Remote covers, game consoles – Consumer Electronics
- Interior trim, dashboard parts – Automotive
- Product Lines: Industrial Automation – Mounting brackets, enclosures
- Robotics – Structural components, joints
- Pipes and Toys
Challenges of ABS CNC Machining
- At high speeds, it melts quite easily
- Can warp without proper fixturing
- Requires proper chip removal
- Limited temperature resistance
- It requires post-processing for a high-gloss finish.
FAQs
