Plastic Machining allows for parts to be made cheaper and lighter than equivalent pieces of metal. Care must be taken, however, as plastic materials may react chemically to cleaning solutions or other chemicals present and lose their strength or utility.
Some of the companies that offer plastic CNC machining are Innovated Plastics of Florida and Delmar Company (national). Tulsa Plastics Company and FPI Industries are two other companies that offer plastic CNC machining.
Amongst the many types of plastic mold machining, electrical discharge machining is one of the most commonly used. Its main advantages include high precision, precision shape and depth, and a superior surface finish.
One type of ultrasonic machining I am familiar with is called "sonic welding". It is used for things like attaching the white plastic button to the metal shaft of a guitar tuner. The button is placed on the shaft, high speed sound waves are directed at the assembly, causing the plastic to melt around the surface of the shaft and secure it there.
There are various purposes and uses for plastic cans. The most common use and purpose for a plastic can is as a container for food or beverages. Plastic cans can also be used as trash containers.
The purpose of a plastic prototype is to test invention, attract investors, and or get the companies to license the invention idea. And the overall purpose is to make you money from invention idea.

Machining process is a broad term that refers to the cutting processes, abrasive processes and the non-traditional machining processes.
By machining steel, stamping it, and machining wood.
General machining processes include turning, shaping, milling, drilling, sawing, abrasive machining, and broaching.
The purpose of using a plastic casing depends on what product the casing is for. Generally plastic is used because it is a very versatile material that can both protect and look good. Plastic is also easy to color and a relatively cheap material.
The process of Metal Injection was developed in the early 1970's by Raymond Weich. It allows for metal particles to be injected in plastic machining parts.
To create a mold for plastic, you first design the shape you want using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Then, you make a mold out of metal or other materials using CNC machining or 3D printing. The mold is then filled with molten plastic, which is allowed to cool and harden. Finally, the mold is opened, and the plastic part is removed.
