Material

POM (Acetal) — CNC Machining Materials

POM is a stiff, low-friction plastic. We machine it into precise, wear-resistant parts.

Overview

What Is POM (Acetal) CNC Machining?

POM is a stiff, low-friction plastic. We machine it into precise, wear-resistant parts.

Material: POM (Acetal)

POM (Acetal, also called Delrin) is a stiff engineering plastic. It has very low friction and great dimensional stability.

Process: CNC Machining

Computer-controlled mills and lathes cut a solid block into a precise part.

Result: Precise Finished Parts

Tight-tolerance parts for prototypes or production, finished to your drawing.

Why POM

Why Choose POM (Acetal) for CNC Machining

Low Friction

Smooth and self-lubricating.

Stiff & Stable

Holds tight tolerances.

Wear Resistant

Long life for moving parts.

Moisture Resistant

Absorbs almost no water.

Material Options

How It Works

How We Make Your POM (Acetal) Part

From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.

Send Files & Get a Quote

Upload your STEP or STL file and drawings. Get a clear, factory-direct quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.

Design Review (DFM)

Our engineers check wall thickness, tolerances, and features. We suggest changes that save cost and improve quality.

CNC Milling & Turning

We cut your part from a solid block with mills and lathes in our machine shop.

Deburr & Finish

We remove burrs, then apply the finish you need, such as polishing or plating.

Inspect & Ship

We measure and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide with full tracking.

Applications

Where POM (Acetal) Is Used

Gears & Bearings

Low-friction moving parts.

Bushings & Rollers

Quiet, smooth guides.

Fittings & Valves

Chemical-proof parts.

Consumer Goods

Precise, durable items.

Design Tips

Easy Design Tips for Beginners

New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.

Respect Minimum Wall

Keep walls thick enough to stay rigid. Thin areas can vibrate and warp during cutting.

Plan for Tolerances

Tight tolerances cost more. Only specify them where the function needs them.

Add Chamfers & Radii

Small chamfers and radii help tools last longer and parts look cleaner.

Finishes

Surface Finishes for POM (Acetal) Parts

As Machined

The natural milled surface. Good for most functional parts.

Polishing

A smoother, brighter surface for looks or low friction.

Plating

Nickel, chrome, or other coatings for corrosion or wear protection.

Passivation

A chemical treatment that boosts corrosion resistance on some metals.
