Illustration of a plastic part showing warping issues during and after machining.4 minutes reading⭐ Quick AnswerPlastic parts may warp during or after machining because internal stresses are released as material is removed. Uneven machining, excessive heat, poor workholding, moisture absorption, and part geometry can all
4 mins readingOne of the most common questions engineers and machine shops ask is why a perfectly machined plastic component develops cracks shortly after production—or even after it has been installed.In many cases, the material itself is not defective. Cracking is often the result of
