PEI Ultem 1000 (Unfilled General-Purpose PEI)
Ultem 1000 is an unfilled, general-purpose PEI with excellent dimensional stability, high tensile strength, and good electrical insulation. Its balance of strength, ductility, and machinability makes it ideal for precision CNC machined components such as aerospace interior brackets, medical device housings, and electronic insulators.

PEI Ultem 2300 (30% Glass-Filled PEI)
Ultem 2300 is reinforced with 30% glass fiber, providing higher stiffness, improved creep resistance, and enhanced structural performance compared to unfilled grades. This material is widely used for load-bearing or high-strength components, including structural aerospace parts, automotive sensor housings, and industrial machinery brackets.

Ultem 2301 / 2302 (Glass-Filled or Reinforced Grades)
These glass-filled or specially reinforced PEI grades offer superior mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance. They are suitable for precision CNC machined parts that require both high rigidity and long-term reliability, such as electronic housings, semiconductor equipment components, and structural supports in medical or industrial applications.

Ultem 1000 Natural / Transparent
Unfilled natural or transparent Ultem provides excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation, while also allowing visual inspection of components. These grades are ideal for medical device parts, electrical insulators, and high-performance electronic housings where clarity and chemical resistance are important.

Custom PEI Blends
Specialty PEI blends can be formulated for enhanced impact resistance, higher temperature performance, or optimized machinability. These custom grades are used for engineering components requiring specific performance criteria, such as aerospace fittings, medical instruments, high-temperature electrical parts, or industrial assemblies that demand both durability and precision.

Designing parts specifically for CNC machining can significantly improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure higher part quality. When designing PEI (Ultem) CNC machined parts, engineers should consider the following guidelines.
| Design Guide |
Problem Description |
Design Suggestions | Notes |
| Wall Thickness | Although PEI is strong and rigid, extremely thin walls may cause deformation during machining. |
|
Depending on part size and geometry |
| Avoid Sharp Internal Corners | Sharp edges increase the risk of material cracking, so a rounded corner design is recommended. |
|
Designers should include internal radii that match the cutting tool size to improve machinability and reduce machining time. |
| Optimize Hole Depth-to-Diameter Ratio | In PEI CNC machining, the hole structure needs to be designed properly to avoid material breakage. |
|
Rounded corner structures can improve machining stability while enhancing the part’s strength. |
| Design for Proper Support and Fixturing | Parts with complex shapes or thin sections may require additional support during machining. |
|
Designing flat surfaces or locating features can help improve clamping stability. |
| Consider Thermal Expansion |
Because PEI has high thermal resistance, excessive cutting heat can cause surface burning or deformation. |
Optimized cutting parameters, proper tool selection, and effective cooling strategies help minimize heat generation. |
PEI has good dimensional stability, but thermal expansion may still affect extremely tight tolerance parts. |
