Nylon CNC Machining Services – CNC Machined Nylon (PA) Parts Manufacturer
Polyamide (PA), which is commonly known as nylon, is a versatile engineering plastic due to its high strength, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance. CNCJY is one of the leading nylon CNC machining manufacturers equipped with a team of professional engineers and experienced employees. We also have state-to-the-art machining centers to produce CNC machined nylon parts efficiently and accurately. As a fabricator of custom nylon parts, CNCJY is capable of multiple nylon CNC machining services (nylon CNC milling & nylon CNC turning) and surface finishing processes. To ensure the highest quality CNC machining PA plastic parts, our team will provide assistance from your drawing and even concept, take care of each stage of production, also carry out strict quality inspections. Nylon (Polyamide) components that are generally made of nylon Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6 are often found in medical, electronics, and mechanical industries, including screws, spacers, gears, industrial bearings, nozzles, sheaves and wear pads. CNC machined nylon is also a good alternative to metal due to its lightweight characteristic.

Nylon & Polyamide (PA) Plastic Material Properties and Types
Nylon is a silk-like thermoplastic that is generally made from petroleum, it exhibits excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance properties when cut from solid stock.
Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6)
Nylon 6 can be used for both textile and industrial uses and is more common in tire cords, ropes, and industrial cords. Nylon 6 has a slightly lower density than Nylon 6/6.
| Density | Melting Point | Tensile Strength | Water Absorption | Elongation at Break |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.13g/cm^3 | 215°C | 40 MPa | 1.5% | 60% |
Nylon 66 (Polyamide 66)
Nylon 66 is available in Nylon 6/6 Light Blue, Nylon 6/6 (30% GF)_Natural, Nylon 6/6 Black, etc., it can be used to make thin-walled components and is an outstanding alternative to metals. Nylon 66 has higher strength and stiffness than nylon 6, while the moisture absorption is lower.
| Density | Melting Point | Yield Tensile Strength | Water Absorption | Elongation at Break |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.14g/cm^3 | 264°C | 59 MPa | 1.2% | 60% |
Surface Finishes for CNC Nylon Parts
Compared to metals, the surface treatment methods for PA plastic are much fewer. CNC nylon comes in black naturally. Here is a selection of possible finishing options for Nylon machined components.

Can Nylon Be CNC Machined?
Nylon is a material that can be processed using CNC machines. Because of its inherent strength, hardness, and dimensional stability, nylon is easy to machine and can easily reach tight tolerances. The machining of nylon is not too dissimilar from the machining of metals, however, because nylon rapidly yields to pressure, you should use cutting tools made of tungsten carbide alloy rather than standard cutting tools. Nylon (PA) can be processed into a variety of components for use in industrial equipment. These components may take the form of pipings and tubing, valves, gears, nozzles, or even something else entirely. It is also possible to blend it with a variety of other materials.
