PEI (Ultem) CNC Machining Design Guide

 

 

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.
  • minimum wall thickness is 1.0–1.5 mm
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.
  • Minimum hole diameter: ≥ 0.8 mm
  • Recommended hole depth: no more than 4 times the hole diameter
  • Hole edge distance: at least 1.5 times the hole diameter
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.
  • depth does not exceed 4–6 times the hole diameter
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.
  • Custom clamps
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.

The manufacturer is strongly recommended. In the past few years of cooperation we have ordered several machined products from aluminum and stainless steel. These products are manufactured in compliance with tolerance requirements and require product finish. Now I have ordered another one. The service is excellent and any questions can be answered and resolved in time.
