What is Delrin (POM)?

Delrin, also known as POM (Polyoxymethylene) or Acetal, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic widely used in precision CNC machining.

It offers an excellent balance of mechanical strength, low friction, and dimensional stability, making it an ideal choice for tight-tolerance components across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

High Strength

Excellent stiffness and toughness for structural parts.

Low Friction

Ideal for moving components and wear-resistant applications.

Dimensional Stability

Maintains tight tolerances even in varying environments.

Low Moisture Absorption

Performs reliably in humid or wet conditions.

Delrin (POM) CNC Machining Capabilities

CNC Milling

3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling for complex geometries and tight tolerances.

CNC Turning

Precision turning for shafts, bushings, bearings, and custom cylindrical parts.

Complex Geometries

Quality Control

How We Control Part Quality

Quality control is built into every stage of our CNC machining workflow — from drawing review and material verification to in-process inspection and final shipment checks.

01

Drawing Review

We check drawings, tolerances, materials, finishes, and critical features before production.

02

Material Inspection

Raw materials are verified to confirm specification, grade, and project requirements.

03

In-Process Control

Critical dimensions are monitored during machining to maintain accuracy and repeatability.

04

Final Inspection

Finished parts are checked for dimensions, appearance, surface finish, and packaging condition.

Quality Focus: For parts with tight tolerances, threaded features, surface treatment, or assembly requirements, our team reviews key inspection points before machining starts.
Precision Capability

Up to ±0.01 mm Tolerance

Support for precision CNC parts with tight dimensional requirements and stable repeatability.

Inspection Equipment

Reliable Measurement Tools

Inspection with standard measuring tools, 2D vision inspection, and CMM support when required.

Quality System

ISO-Based Process Control

Structured workflow for material control, machining inspection, documentation, and final verification.

Delrin CNC Machining FAQs

Common questions about CNC machining Delrin / POM parts, including tolerances, applications, materials, and quote requirements.

Is Delrin suitable for CNC machining?

Yes. Delrin, also known as POM or acetal, is one of the most commonly machined engineering plastics. It machines cleanly, holds good dimensional accuracy, and is suitable for gears, bushings, rollers, spacers, guides, and other functional mechanical parts.

What tolerances can CNCTAL achieve for Delrin parts?

For many Delrin CNC machined parts, we can achieve tight tolerances up to ±0.01 mm depending on the part structure, wall thickness, feature size, and drawing requirements. For plastic parts, we always recommend confirming critical dimensions before production.

What are the advantages of Delrin compared with other plastics?

Delrin offers low friction, good wear resistance, high stiffness, stable dimensions, and low moisture absorption compared with many general plastics. It is often selected for moving parts or precision plastic components that need smooth operation.

Can you machine both white and black Delrin?

Yes. We can machine natural white Delrin and black Delrin depending on your application and appearance requirements. Other POM grades may also be available based on project needs.

What file formats should I send for a Delrin CNC machining quote?

Please send 3D files such as STEP or STP, together with 2D drawings in PDF format if tolerances, threads, surface finish, or inspection requirements are important. Quantity, material color, and application details will help us quote more accurately.

Do you support prototype and small batch Delrin parts?

Yes. CNCTAL supports one-off prototypes, small batch production, and repeat orders for Delrin CNC machined parts. This is useful for product testing, machine maintenance, custom equipment, and low-volume industrial components.
