Burrs On Engineering Grade Plastics Burrs can be created during machining on engineering grade plastics. Burrs are unwanted pieces of material that can be left on the edges of machined parts after manufacturing. Burrs can be caused by a variety of factors, including the type of machining process, the cutting tool geometry, the material […]
Engineering plastics are high-value, high-performance materials that have superior physical, mechanical, chemical and/or thermal properties. They cost more than commodity plastics, and parts are typically produced in lower volumes. Engineering-grade plastics are used in industrial and processing applications, and by the aerospace, defense, and medical industries. Examples of these high-value, high-performance polymers include PEEK, Delrin, […]
Dry ice deflashing and deburring use dry ice particles accelerated by compressed air to remove flash and burrs from plastic and metal parts.
Overview Dry Ice Deflashing & Deburring is a CO2 blast cleaning process used in the removal of residual flash and burr material. This process employs dry ice particles accelerated by compressed air to blast away mold flash and machine burrs. Dry ice sublimates (transitions from solid to gas) upon impact with the part surface. This […]
Dry Ice Deburring is an excellent option for burr removal for parts with intricate cuts, hard to reach spaces and complex geometries. This method uses dry ice blasted at high pressure which sublimates upon contact with the part’s surface. One of the important reasons that medical device manufacturers elect to use Dry Ice Deburring is […]
