What is Nylon?
Nylon is a versatile engineering thermoplastic widely used in CNC machined parts.
Nylon is a strong, lightweight, and wear-resistant material, commonly used in precision mechanical components. It offers excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and high durability, making it ideal for gears, bushings, rollers, and other industrial parts.
Its versatility allows it to be used in automotive, electronics, and industrial machinery applications. CNC machined nylon parts deliver precise tolerances and reliable performance for both prototyping and production.
Key Benefits of Nylon CNC Machining
Why nylon is an ideal material for precision machined parts
High Strength & Durability
Excellent mechanical strength ensures long-lasting performance under load.
Low Friction

Design Tips for CNC Machined Nylon Parts
Optimize your parts for performance and manufacturability
Maintain Minimum Wall Thickness
Ensure walls are at least 2–3 mm to prevent warping and maintain strength.
Design Rounded Corners
Use fillets instead of sharp corners to reduce stress concentration and improve durability.
Allow Clearance for Fasteners
Provide adequate holes and spacing for screws, bolts, and threaded inserts.
Consider Shrinkage
Account for 1–2% shrinkage during cooling to ensure dimensional accuracy.
Use Ribs for Strength
Add ribs to thin areas to increase rigidity without increasing weight.
Nylon CNC Machining FAQs
Common questions about CNC machining nylon / PA parts, including applications, tolerances, material properties, and quote requirements.
Is nylon suitable for CNC machining?
Yes. Nylon, also known as PA, is a good engineering plastic for CNC machining. It is commonly used for gears, bushings, rollers, spacers, guides, wear pads, and functional mechanical parts that require strength and low friction.
What are the advantages of nylon CNC machined parts?
Nylon offers good wear resistance, low friction, impact strength, lightweight performance, and vibration damping. It is suitable for moving parts and industrial components where metal parts may be too heavy or unnecessary.
What tolerances can CNCTAL achieve for nylon parts?
For many nylon CNC machined parts, CNCTAL can achieve tight machining tolerances depending on part size, wall thickness, geometry, and drawing requirements. For critical dimensions, we recommend providing a 2D drawing with tolerance callouts.
Can you machine different nylon grades?
Yes. We can machine common nylon materials such as PA6, PA66, black nylon, natural nylon, and other available engineering nylon grades depending on the application and supplier availability.
Is nylon better than Delrin for CNC machined parts?
Nylon and Delrin are both useful engineering plastics, but they are used for different needs. Nylon is often selected for toughness, wear resistance, and impact strength, while Delrin is often preferred for better dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption.
What files should I send for a nylon CNC machining quote?
Please send STEP or STP 3D files, plus PDF 2D drawings if tolerances, threads, surface finish, or inspection requirements are important. Quantity, nylon grade, color, and application details will help us provide a faster and more accurate quote.
