A clear path from design to production
- 1
Compare plastic characteristics
Review the customer-safe material guides for appearance, impact resistance, wear, moisture behaviour and current stock options.
- 2
Select the exact stock option
Choose the listed thickness and finish that corresponds to the intended part rather than relying on a generic plastic category.
- 3
Review edges and features
Confirm routed profiles, holes, pockets and engraving. Edge polishing or other secondary finishing is not assumed unless explicitly confirmed.

Confirm shipping
Package dimensions and weight depend on the finished part and quantity. Oversized pieces can require a custom shipping discussion.
Questions customers ask
Frequently asked questions
Does EZCNC cut acrylic and polycarbonate?
Yes. The current catalogue includes selected cast acrylic and polycarbonate thicknesses and finishes. The material guides show the options currently enabled for online quoting.
Which plastic is best for a high-impact part?
Polycarbonate and ABS are commonly considered for impact resistance, while UHMW and HDPE serve different wear and moisture applications. Final selection depends on the part's environment and engineering requirements.
Are polished acrylic edges included?
No secondary edge finish should be assumed from CNC routing alone. If a specific polished or presentation edge is required, include a note or request contact before production.
