No stress nylon
, and tubular shapes for machined plastic parts. More recently, processors have adapted RIM to compensate for the greater challenge of casting nylon-based monomers. This innovation makes it more economical to RIM process parts rather than machine them from a cast stock shape. RIM provides economies close

Picking A Winning Nylon For The Roller Derby
Designers sometimes view all grades of nylon as the same. But when comparisons are made, cast nylon 12 often tops the list for machined rollers put to the test in harsh environments. Many ski lift manufacturers like Doppelmayr, Austria, use cast nylon 12 guide and coupling rollers

Machining Guidelines for High Performance Materials (HPMs) (.pdf)
Machining of plastic stock shapes provides end users the opportunity to economically produce equipment components and prototype parts in volumes that are significantly lower than what would be cost-effective with injection molding. Acetal and nylon are two of the most widely machined engineering
