CNC Machining in PMMA (Acrylic) – Crystal Clear, Lightweight, and Rigid
Ideal for visual prototypes, optical parts, and display components.
What Is PMMA and Why Use It?
PMMA, commonly known as acrylic, is a transparent thermoplastic with excellent optical clarity and good rigidity. It’s a preferred material for CNC machining when visual appearance matters and moderate strength is acceptable. Key benefits:
- Glass-like transparency and polishable
- Lightweight with good stiffness
- UV and weather resistant
- Cost-effective for aesthetic parts
Why Choose Us
- 🔍 Glass-Like Clarity and Finish
- 💡 Ideal for Optical and Display Parts
- 🌤️ UV-Stable and Weather Resistant
- 📁 Compatible with Polishing and Engraving
Where This Material Excels
Display Covers & Lenses – High optical clarity and polishable
Lighting Fixtures – Light diffusion and transparency

Low-Volume Production in China
2026 Manufacturing S Why “Bridge Production” (50-500 units) is the secret weapon for hardware startups avoiding the “Death Valley” of high MOQ. Here is the classic hardware trap: You have validated your prototype (1-5 units). You aren’t ready for mass production (10,000+ units). You need 200 units for a pilot run or beta test. Most…
