ULTEM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting is one of the methods used to create products and parts made of ULTEM.<br>The advantages of using cutting for ULTEM are explained in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduced processing costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting has the advantage that machining can be started immediately with data and programs, without the need to fabricate dies.<br>Processing costs can be reduced because there are no tooling costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since ULTEM is a low-cost material among super engineering plastics, it is possible to manufacture products while considering the balance between cost and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capable of manufacturing products with fine dimensions with high precision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting is based on data and programs, so dimensions can be adjusted in microns.<br>Therefore, ULTEM is highly compatible with applications that require high precision and dimensional control, such as automotive and aerospace products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can be processed into a wide range of shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cutting can be performed without limiting the width as long as the cutting machine can handle it.<br>Furthermore, since machining proceeds based on data and programs, it is also possible to process complex shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ULTEM-based fabrication of parts for the aerospace industry and surgical supplies for the medical field, which require detailed parts and complex shapes, can also be realized with cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ULTEM%EF%BC%88%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%83%86%E3%83%A0%EF%BC%89%E3%81%AE%E5%88%87%E5%89%8A%E5%8A%A0%E5%B7%A5%E3%81%AB%E3%81%8A%E3%81%91%E3%82%8B%E6%B3%A8%E6%84%8F%E7%82%B9\"><\/span>Points to be noted in ULTEM cutting process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PEI, including ULTEM, has a high notch sensitivity and is prone to stress concentration when cutting corners.<br>Therefore, taking corner radii during machining to distribute stress will prevent cracking and chipping during cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is difficult to obtain a corner radius depending on the part, it is effective to reduce the depth of cut and feed rate as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that when bonding, physical bonding methods are used rather than welding methods such as acrylic or PVC, so bonding may be lax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ULTEM%EF%BC%88%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%83%86%E3%83%A0%EF%BC%89%E3%81%AE%E5%88%87%E5%89%8A%E5%8A%A0%E5%B7%A5%E3%82%92%E4%BE%9D%E9%A0%BC%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%A5%AD%E8%80%85%E3%81%AE%E9%81%B8%E3%81%B3%E6%96%B9\"><\/span>How to choose a contractor for ULTEM cutting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ULTEM's cutting process varies in terms of workmanship, cost, and delivery time, depending on the vendor you request.<br>Here are some tips on how to choose a vendor that you should also keep in mind when considering ULTEM's cutting services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have experience in ULTEM cutting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the cutting operations, be sure to select a supplier that has extensive experience in fabricating parts and products using ULTEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A contractor with extensive ULTEM cutting experience can adjust the appropriate machining speed, install corner Rs, and select tools when cutting ULTEM.<br>ULTEM cutting, which requires a high degree of dimensional control and precision, can be expected to produce satisfactory results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can other materials and processing methods be considered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please also check with us about our experience in machining materials other than ULTEM, as well as our experience in machining other than cutting.<br>Depending on the part or product you wish to fabricate, there may be more appropriate materials or processing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A supplier with more experience in other materials and processing methods will not only be a better choice, but will also have the advantage of being able to request the manufacture of products other than ULTEM as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the processing cost and delivery date be met or exceeded?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ULTEM processing costs and turnaround times vary depending on the vendor you request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even for contractors with extensive experience, there is no possibility of problems such as late delivery or cost overruns.<br>Once you have found a potential vendor, request a quote to confirm costs and also to understand specific delivery dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"
