As an example, a machined part may undergo dimensional changes when moved from one location to a different environment. In order to get the best possible results, it is necessary to match the machining environment and the part\u2019s work environment as much as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Although, to achieve perfection, one usually has to do this through trial and error. This covers the optimization of feed rates and machine speeds, which is the most critical factor determining the final product. At the beginning, machine feeds and speeds are kept high and then, after each run, they are gradually changed to allow for chip optimization and smooth machining without any tooling problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Material_Selection_and_Machining_Technique\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"color: black;\">Material Selection and Machining Technique:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The result of plastic machining is determined by a few factors, and these factors are very crucial. The support structures, vibration management, sharpening of tools, and material-specific requirements are the main factors that determine the quality of plastic parts. The most common defects, such as burrs, cracks, and chatter marks, are associated with low-rigidity plastics. The application of these techniques can overcome them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The machining process and material are also backed up by adding supports where needed and prepping surfaces with a smooth, low-friction finish before machining. The process of plastic machining is often considered as an art as customization is one of the key tasks that stresses the importance of proper support of the selected material and particular machining process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety\"><\/span><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Safety:<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The most important issue for the operator&#8217;s safety is the prevention of any health hazard that may be related to the material during the machining of plastics. Plastics emit toxic substances when heat is more than the one required and this is a threat to the operators. Plastic particles inhalation could cause eye, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal system irritation when it is ingested.
