Here are some photos of a plastic part machined out of clear polysulfone. Engineers choose polysulfone for their applications because it has a very high service temperature. This allows it to be used in assemblies where high temperatures are encountered regularly, such as autoclaves. Polysulfone can also be used as a membrane in filtration systems.
This part is made out of Polysulfone. Polysulfone is known for being tough, wear resiting, and high temperature stability. It is also a dielectric material that can be used in capacitors. Dielectric means that it will not transmit electricity.
This part is milled in the milling department here at East Coast Precision. It is approximately 1.5 inches square. It features a milled out body, some threaded holes and a polished top. Due to the geometry, the part is actually able to spring a little bit.
