At GD Prototyping, we specialize in Plastic Gear CNC Machining, delivering precision-engineered gears that combine strength, accuracy, and smooth performance. Using advanced CNC milling and turning systems, we manufacture plastic gears that meet demanding tolerance requirements while ensuring long-term durability.
Plastic gears are lightweight, quiet in operation, and resistant to corrosion, making them an ideal alternative to metal gears in many applications. We work with high-quality engineering plastics such as nylon, POM (Delrin), ABS, PEEK, and UHMW to produce gears that are reliable under high load and temperature conditions.
Whether you require spur gears, helical gears, worm gears, or custom gear profiles, our CNC machining expertise ensures consistent accuracy across prototypes and production batches. With surface finishing, polishing, and secondary machining options, GD Prototyping guarantees gears that are both functional and ready for end-use.
Our Plastic Gear CNC Machining services are widely used across industries such as automotive, robotics, electronics, and medical devices, helping customers achieve smooth motion control and reliable mechanical performance.

Q1: Why use plastic gears instead of metal gears?
Plastic gears are lightweight, quieter, corrosion-resistant, and more cost-effective for many applications. They also reduce wear when paired with metal components.
Q2: What materials are used for CNC-machined plastic gears?
We commonly use nylon, POM (Delrin), PEEK, ABS, and UHMW, depending on strength, heat resistance, and application needs.
Q3: What tolerances can GD Prototyping achieve for plastic gears?
We achieve tolerances up to ±0.01 mm, depending on gear size, material, and geometry.
Q4: Are plastic gears durable for high-load applications?
Yes, with the right material selection and design, plastic gears perform well under load while offering excellent wear resistance.
Q5: Do you provide prototypes as well as production?
Absolutely. We supply one-off prototypes, small-batch gears for testing, and full-scale production runs.
