CNC Machining of PEEK Components
- Industry: Advanced Technology / Engineering
- Challenge: PEEK components failed dimensional verification due to thermal distortion, resulting in flatness, parallelism and GD&T non-conformance.
- Solution: We performed root-cause analysis and optimized the machining process through revised strategies, cooling techniques and material/process improvements to achieve the required dimensional stability.
CAD Deziners partnered with a leading advanced technology company to manufacture high-precision components in PEEK, Titanium, and 316L Stainless Steel for a demanding engineering application.
During final quality verification, dimensional non-conformance was identified in a batch of machined PEEK components due to thermal distortion during CNC machining. Rather than proceeding with parts that did not fully meet specification, CAD Deziners initiated a comprehensive root cause analysis and process optimisation program.
Through a combination of revised machining strategies, advanced cooling techniques, material upgrades, and collaborative engineering consultation with the client, the project successfully achieved the required dimensional stability and flatness performance, reinforcing CAD Deziners’ commitment to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement.
