2025 01 02 For CNC acrylic machining parts, use sharp carbide cutters with moderate feed rates to prevent melting and chipping. Set optimal spindle speeds (8,000–15,000 rpm) and apply effective coolants or air blasts to dissipate heat. Securing workpieces firmly with a stable CNC machining fixture design further enhances cut quality and prevents distortion, ensuring polished, dimensionally accurate PMMA components.
