CNC Machining in ABS Material
At Jiangzhi, we specialize in CNC machining high-precision ABS parts with tight tolerances and consistent quality. Whether you need a prototype or low-volume production, we turn your designs into reliable components. With deep experience in ABS machining, we handle complex shapes and fine details efficiently. From material selection to final finishing, we provide a complete, tailored solution.
This makes our CNC machined ABS parts ideal for applications in automotive (such as interior brackets or sensor housings), electronics (device enclosures and structural supports), medical devices (instrument casings or diagnostic shells), and consumer goods (remote covers and smart device housings). At every stage, we’re committed to helping you shorten development cycles, reduce costs, and achieve consistent, production-ready quality.

Advantages & Disadvantages of ABS CNC Machining
Advantages
- Good machinability – easy to cut, drill, and CNC mill ABS plastic with precision.
- Tough & impact-resistant – maintains integrity under stress and shock.
- Dimensional stability – offers consistent accuracy with minimal warping.
- Affordable & widely available – ideal for milling ABS plastic prototypes and parts
Disadvantages
- Lower heat resistance – not ideal for high-temperature applications.
- UV sensitivity – prone to degradation under prolonged sunlight exposure.
- Moderate chemical resistance – may not withstand strong acids or solvents.
- Surface finish limitations – may require post-processing for a smooth, glossy finish.
Surface Finishing Options for CNC Machined Parts
To improve the appearance and performance of your CNC machined ABS components, we offer a variety of surface finishing services. Whether you need a clean matte surface, enhanced aesthetics, or clear part labeling, our finishing options ensure to meet your ABS machining parts.
Standard finish with visible tool marks; suitable for functional prototypes and internal components.
Uses abrasive media to create a uniform matte or satin finish; also improves coating adhesion on plastic or metal surfaces.
Adds logos, text, or identification marks via silk screen or pad printing, ideal for branding or part tracking.
Removes machining marks and evens out surface texture; ideal for prototypes and parts where appearance is not critical.
Painting and powder coating provide colorful, durable, and corrosion-resistant finishes.
Deposits metal layers such as nickel or chrome on parts, improving wear resistance, conductivity, and aesthetic quality.
Produces a smooth, glossy finish; commonly applied to plastics like PC or PMMA for enhanced clarity and premium look.
Chemical treatment for ferrous metals, creating a dark, corrosion-resistant surface with minimal thickness.
Electrochemical process for aluminum that enhances corrosion and wear resistance, with options for colored finishes.
Jiangzhi ABS CNC Machining Parts are Guaranteed
ABS can break down if it gets too hot or stays in the barrel too long. This leads to discoloration, bad smells, or weaker parts. We avoid this by using the right temperature settings and proper cycle times.
Yes, ABS blends well with materials like PC (polycarbonate) to improve strength or heat resistance. But mixing must be done carefully to avoid compatibility issues. We’ll help you decide if blending makes sense for your project.
Cracks often come from stress during cooling, poor mold design, or even using the wrong processing temps. We focus on balanced part design and proper molding conditions to keep your ABS parts crack-free.
ABS runs well in molds made from hardened steel or aluminum, depending on your production volume. The key is smooth surfaces and good venting to avoid flow marks or burn spots.
ABS is stiffer and easier to paint or glue, while PP is more flexible and chemically resistant. ABS needs tighter temperature control, and PP shrinks more. Choosing between them depends on what your part needs to do—we’ll help you pick the best fit.
