Custom machining of plastic enclosures

Let me show you, how we do the custom machining on a small plastic enclosure.
The enclosure has a thin wall thickness. Therefore, it is important to fix it to the machine, without deforming it. Also, we must reduce vibration during the CNC milling.
Our solution, is to place the plastic part into an aluminum shell, to hold it and protect it. This aluminum shell, ensures the correct mounting to the machine. In this way, the milled holes are always at the precise location.
The cutting tool rotates at a high speed, in order to machine this plastic part with a nice finish. First, we machine roughly. Then, with another mill, we finish the edges.
This, is the perfect way to manufacture small batches of electronic enclosures. From 500 pieces it would be economically more interesting to make an injection mold.
