Custom FR-4 CNC Machining Case Study: How We Delivered 6000 High-Precision Insulation Parts in 3 Days
Precision, Performance, and Partnership — What Makes Custom FR-4 Projects Succeed?
When you're sourcing custom FR-4 components for demanding electrical applications, it's never just about materials — it's about the team that transforms a sheet into a functional, precision-cut, flame-retardant solution. This case study reveals how BeePlastic worked side-by-side with an electrical equipment manufacturer to deliver 6000 CNC-machined FR-4 insulation parts in just three days — from CAD drawing to shipment. For engineers and procurement teams in the USA, Europe, and Australia, this is a story of responsiveness, reliability, and results.
Understanding the Real Requirement: More Than Just a FR-4 Sheet
The client — a well-established electrical equipment manufacturer — approached us with a critical project: they needed thousands of glass epoxy FR-4 components for an upcoming system launch. But this wasn’t a standard sheet-cutting task.
They needed:
-
Tight dimensional tolerances
-
Flame-retardant compliance (UL94 V-0)
-
Perfectly smooth edges
-
Precision hole placement
-
And complete adherence to their CAD drawings and 3D files
In other words, this project demanded not just raw material — but a fully integrated custom machining solution based on deep material knowledge and excellent CNC execution.

FR-4 vs. G10: How We Helped the Customer Make the Right Call
At the initial consultation stage, the client was undecided between G10 and FR-4 epoxy laminate boards. We helped them analyze the technical differences:
-
Both G10 and FR-4 are fiberglass-reinforced epoxy composites, with excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength.
-
However, only FR-4 contains flame-retardant additives, making it compliant with UL94 V-0 standards, ideal for electrical safety-critical components.
Through transparent consultation and our internal material comparison documentation, we guided them toward FR-4 — the safe and industry-standard choice for electrical insulation parts.
From Drawings to Prototypes: A Collaborative Engineering Process
Once the material was confirmed, our team — composed of sales, engineering, and production leads — kicked off a coordinated process:
-
Carefully reviewed the client’s CAD drawings and 3D models
-
Determined the best tool paths for CNC routing and hole drilling
-
Simulated edge contouring processes to ensure zero burrs and no delamination
-
Selected specialized cutters suitable for glass-reinforced epoxy laminates
We didn’t treat this as a one-way fabrication task. Instead, we initiated a multi-round communication loop with the client, adjusting machining tolerances and optimizing the layout for yield and consistency.
A sample batch was produced within days, allowing the customer to validate real-world fit and finish. Their feedback? “Exactly what we needed — ready for full production.”
Delivering 6000 CNC-Machined FR-4 Parts in Just 3 Days
After green-lighting the prototypes, our challenge became one of speed without compromise.
-
We rapidly scaled the machining program using multi-spindle CNC equipment for parallel production.
-
Implemented real-time quality control checkpoints at every stage — especially for hole precision and edge quality.
-
Our logistics team negotiated bulk freight discounts, ensuring the client saved on international shipping even on a tight schedule.
The full 6000-part order was produced, packed, and dispatched within 3 working days — a timeline we proudly met without a single deviation in quality.
Feedback That Fuels Us: What the Client Said
Once the shipment arrived, we received a message from the client that made all the effort worthwhile:
“Your team not only hit every technical spec — you worked with us late on Sundays, stayed flexible during last-minute adjustments, and made sure everything shipped on time. We’re recommending BeePlastic to our other departments as a trusted machining partner.”
This kind of endorsement validates our core values: technical precision + human collaboration = long-term trust.
