Separate material selection from the machining request
Ultem 1000 is a grade-specific request, so the supplied stock designation and condition should match the drawing or purchase specification. This page focuses on machining customer parts from specified stock; it is not a substitute for checking material properties or selecting a grade.
For grade information, see the Ultem 1000 material detail and the broader PEI material overview. If you are comparing prototype routes, see our CNC rapid prototyping service.
What affects an Ultem 1000 machining review
- Exact stock designation and condition, including any customer material requirement.
- Deep pockets, thin walls, slots and minimum internal radii in the part geometry.
- Critical dimensions and their datums, especially mating and assembly features.
- Surface requirements, deburring and any operation after machining.
- Quantity and the inspection records required for acceptance.
Do not assume that a material guide provides a machining tolerance or guarantees performance in an application. The part drawing and acceptance plan control the quote. If a characteristic must be checked after a secondary operation, identify that stage.
