Acrylic is a lightweight, transparent plastic commonly used in drones for covers, light housings, and windows where visibility and appearance matter. It machines and polishes easily, offering a clean, professional look ideal for non-load-bearing applications. While more brittle than other plastics, acrylic excels in areas where aesthetics, clarity, and weight savings are priorities. It’s frequently used in electronic enclosures or lighting elements in drone assemblies.

DEK provides precision-machined acrylic parts tailored for high-quality visual components used in drones, displays, and clear protective housings.

Delrin, also known as acetal, is a high-strength, low-friction plastic ideal for CNC-machined drone parts that require durability and dimensional accuracy. It’s commonly used for gears, pulleys, moving arms, and linkages due to its excellent wear resistance, stiffness, and low moisture absorption. Delrin performs reliably in dynamic assemblies and offers outstanding machinability, making it a go-to choice for high-precision drone mechanisms.

At DEK, we specialize in machining Delrin components for demanding drone applications such as control systems, structural linkages, and mechanical motion systems.

FR4 is a flame-retardant glass-reinforced epoxy laminate primarily used in drone electronics as the base material for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Lightweight and strong, it provides excellent electrical insulation, thermal resistance, and dimensional stability. While not suitable for structural parts, FR4 is essential for supporting and isolating electronic components in drone systems. It performs well in complex environments where consistent electrical performance is vital.

DEK delivers precision-machined FR4 parts for advanced electronics, including custom PCBs used in drones, aerospace, and high-tech robotics.

G-10 is a fiberglass-reinforced laminate similar to FR4 but with greater mechanical strength and toughness, making it better suited for structural applications in drones. It offers excellent moisture resistance, impact strength, and electrical insulation, making it a durable option for frames, baseplates, and mounting brackets. G-10 performs well in harsh environments, including both dry and humid conditions, without compromising structural integrity.

DEK offers precision drone CNC machining of G-10 components for rugged assemblies, ensuring durability and reliability in challenging operating conditions.

Nylon is a versatile, lightweight engineering plastic known for its toughness, flexibility, and wear resistance. In drone CNC machining, it’s often used for gears, bushings, vibration dampeners, and structural spacers. Nylon’s natural lubricity and resistance to chemicals make it ideal for moving components and harsh operating environments. It absorbs some moisture, which can be a design consideration, but it remains a reliable material for many dynamic drone systems.

At DEK, we deliver precision-machined nylon parts optimized for strength, resilience, and long-lasting performance in demanding drone applications.

PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic engineered for extreme environments. Known for its exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and heat tolerance, PEEK is often used in drones for internal brackets, high-load housings, and thermal protection components.
