Acrylic (PMMA) CNC Machining Services
Acrylic and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) are essentially the same material. The term "acrylic" is a generic term that is commonly used to refer to products made from PMMA, including sheets, rods, tubes, and pellets.
At Rally, we specialize in top-quality acrylic machining services, providing bespoke solutions tailored to meet your individual project requirements. Our service leverages state-of-the-art technology, industry-leading expertise, and a commitment to superior customer service, delivering products that are as visually stunning as they are durable.
Types of Acrylic Machining Services
At RALLY, we specialize in the following types of acrylic CNC machining services.
- CNC Milling: This is a process where a rotary cutting tool removes material from the acrylic piece. It is great for creating flat surfaces, slots, holes, and other features on a 3D part.
- CNC Turning: In this process, the acrylic piece is rotated while a cutting tool moves in a linear motion. This method is often used for making cylindrical or round parts.
- Drilling: This service involves creating holes of various sizes in the acrylic material. CNC machines can perform this with high precision.
- Polishing/Finishing: After the acrylic part has been machined, it can be polished to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. Polishing methods include mechanical polishing, flame polishing, and buffing.
Common applications
- Signage and Advertising: Acrylic's clarity and durability make it an excellent choice for signs, banners, and advertising displays.
- Retail Display Cases: Due to its transparency and aesthetic appeal, acrylic is often used for display cases in retail stores.
- Optical Devices: Acrylic's optical clarity makes it suitable for lenses, prisms, and other optical components.
- Lighting Fixtures: Acrylic's ability to transmit light efficiently is utilized in light guides and diffusers in lighting fixtures.

Why Choose Our Acrylic Machining Services?
Features of Acrylic material for CNC machining
Acrylic, also known as Plexiglas or Perspex, is a popular material for CNC machining due to its numerous favorable properties:
1. Optical Clarity: Acrylic is transparent and offers excellent light transmission, comparable to that of glass. This makes it a preferred material for applications requiring a clear view, such as display cases, signs, and windows.
2. Strength and Durability: Acrylic is stronger and more impact resistant than glass, making it less prone to breakage. It's also resistant to weather and UV light, which means it won't yellow over time when exposed to sunlight.
3. Ease of Machining: Acrylic can be easily cut, drilled, and shaped using CNC machines, making it a versatile choice for a variety of applications. It can be precisely machined to create intricate shapes and designs.
4. Lightweight: Acrylic is lighter than glass, which makes it easier to handle, transport, and install. This also means it places less stress on supporting structures.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Acrylic machining machining
Acrylic machining is a process that involves shaping, cutting, drilling, and finishing of acrylic materials. This is often done with the help of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, which offer a high degree of precision and consistency.
Machined acrylic parts are used in a variety of industries, including advertising, construction, retail, and electronics. Common products include signage, display cases, windows, and lenses.
Acrylic can be machined using techniques such as milling, drilling, turning, and cutting. CNC machines are commonly used due to their precision and ability to produce complex shapes and designs.
Machined acrylic can be finished in several ways, including polishing, buffing, and flame polishing, which gives it a high-gloss, glass-like finish.
The lead time can vary depending on the complexity and volume of the order. However, with advanced CNC machines and efficient processes, many providers can offer quick turnaround times.
Yes, one of the benefits of acrylic machining is the ability to produce custom shapes and sizes. Simply provide your design specifications and the machining service should be able to accommodate your needs.
Of course, you need to pay the sample fee, and the sample fee will be deducted from the invoice after confirming the order.
