Nylon is a thermoplastic polymer with a wide range of properties that make it ideal for CNC machining. It is strong and durable, yet flexible and easy to work with. Nylon also has excellent resistance to wear and tear, as well as chemicals and heat. Additionally, it is one of the most dimensionally stable plastics, meaning it holds its shape well under stress.

The CNC machining process involves using computer-controlled tools to remove material from a workpiece. When machining nylon, it is important to use sharp tools and take light cuts. This will help prevent the material from melting or deforming. In addition, using coolant during the machining process can also help reduce heat build-up and improve tool life.
