See how Atlas Fibre routes round parts from glass epoxy (G10/FR4) sheet, on one of our over 100 CNC machines.
The parts are nested in a staggered grid to get the most pieces out of each sheet. Close spacing like this means the setup has to keep each part stable through the cut. Sheet hold-down, tooling selection, feeds and speeds, and dust control all affect edge quality, and they help prevent delamination, chipping, and premature tool wear on abrasive glass-reinforced material.
Materials like G10/FR4 are widely used for electrical insulation, electronics, test fixtures, and other applications that need dimensional stability and dielectric strength. Round parts like these are commonly used as insulating washers, spacers, and blanks for further machining.
Atlas Fibre manufactures thermoset composite laminates and machines these advanced materials into precision components. Questions about our approach or interested in learning more about our composite machining capabilities? Connect with our team to request a quote
