CNC Milling for Plastic Components
Plastic parts serve critical roles in consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive interiors, and more. CNC milling for plastic components offers dimensional precision, high surface quality, and rapid turnaround—key advantages over injection molding in prototyping and low-volume production. By tailoring tooling, feeds, and thermal controls, plastic milling yields burr-free, warp-free components in ABS, acrylic, Delrin, PEEK, and other engineered polymers.
Unlike metals, plastics soften or melt under heat, causing burrs or surface defects. Our CNC centers use specialized low-heat endmills and variable-frequency spindles to maintain cutting temperatures below the polymer's glass transition point. Vacuum-enhanced chip extraction prevents chips from re-melting onto features, while mist-through tooling delivers minimal lubricant to reduce friction without saturating parts. Thermal compensation algorithms adjust toolpaths to account for material expansion, ensuring final dimensions match CAD within ±0.015 mm.
Plastic components often demand optical clarity (e.g., acrylic bezels) or precise snap-fit geometries. Fine-pitch finishing passes with 0.1 mm stepovers produce mirror-like surfaces (Ra 0.2 µm) on transparent materials. Micro-endmills carve undercuts, living hinges, and threaded bosses with crisp edges. For high-tolerance features, in-process probing verifies critical dimensions—such as hole diameters and slot widths—triggering automatic toolpath corrections on the fly.
When time-to-market matters, CNC milling outpaces mold fabrication. Prototype iterations can be cut, assembled, and tested within days, accelerating design validation cycles. For short to medium-run production (10–500 units), CNC milling leverages the same setups—no costly tooling changes—delivering consistent parts without minimum-order penalties. Custom workholding plates accommodate varying part sizes, minimizing changeover times between jobs.

KBRA Comments on Chapter 11 Filing of Sunnova Subsidiary and Reduction in Workforce
NEW YORK, June 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an 8-K filing on June 5, 2025, Sunnova Energy Corporation (Sunnova)—the sponsor and originator of 24 residential solar loan and lease transactions rated by KBRA1 —disclosed that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunnova TEP Developer, LLC (Sunnova TEP), had filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Sunnova also reported that its Board approved a reduction in force, effective May 30, 2025, of approximately 718 employees or 55% of its workforce. Given these developments, it is plausible that additional Sunnova subsidiaries— and potentially Sunnova itself—may seek bankruptcy protection in the near future. KBRA is currently monitoring the situation, as it maintains ratings on 54 classes of notes issued from the 24 solar ABS transactions totaling $6.0 billion. These transactions comprise 13 loan and 11 lease deals, for which Sunnova also serves as production guarantor and performance guarantor. Even if Sunnova were to file for bankruptcy, neither that event nor the bankruptcy of Sunnova TEP, in and of itself, would directly trigger a manager or servicer termination event within the ABS, as neither entity is designated as the transaction manager or servicer under the transaction documents. However, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sunnova, Sunnova ABS Management or Sunnova TE Management, LLC (collectively, Sunnova Management), act as transaction manager and/or servicer and are responsible for the administration, collection, and management services for the related ABS. If either of these entities were to file for bankruptcy, it could trigger a manager or servicer termination event. Furthermore, the controlling class noteholders, which generally comprise the most senior noteholders, could cause a termination event if they deem that the bankruptcy of Sunnova (or any of its subsidiaries) has impaired Sunnova Management's ability to perform its duties. Each transaction includes a transition manager, Computershare Trust Company or Wilmington Trust, NA, which is responsible for overseeing the performance of the transaction manager or servicer and assists in the transition to a replacement manager if a manager termination event were to occur. The securitizations also have a back-up servicer that can mitigate the risk of payment disruption during a servicer transfer. It is KBRA's understanding that Sunnova Management plans to remain transaction manager and/or servicer for each transaction, as applicable. Each issuer is a bankruptcy-remote entity with a first-priority perfected security interest in the collateral. If a servicer transition event were to occur, there is the potential for temporary cash flow disruption to the trust during the transition process. Should this occur, KBRA will consider the magnitude of the disruption, along with potential increases in delinquencies, as part of its ongoing monitoring efforts to determining whether Watch Placements and/or rating actions need to be effectuated. The tables below depict the performance of the outstanding solar loan and lease transactions as of the latest payment date reports, dated May 2025. To date, timely interest distributions have been made to each of the related notes since closing. _________________ 1 Includes published and unpublished transactions.
