Plastic Fabrication
We offer a variety of processes depending on the material required, as each material has unique properties suitable for varying applications. Some of the materials we offer fabrication services for include acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, polypropylene, and ABS.
Our fabrication services include;
Cutting and Shaping: Cut plastic sheets, rods, or tubes to the desired shape using methods like CNC routing, laser cutting, or saw cutting. This step may also involve thermoforming or vacuum forming to mould plastics into complex shapes.
Joining and Welding: Assemble plastic parts by welding (e.g., ultrasonic or solvent welding) or using adhesives and fasteners to join components securely.
Finishing: Apply finishing touches such as polishing, deburring, painting, or coating to enhance the appearance and functionality of the final product.
CNC Machining: Uses computer-controlled machines to cut and shape plastic with high precision, ideal for creating complex parts with tight tolerances.
Thermoforming: Involves heating plastic sheets to a pliable forming temperature, then moulding them over a specific shape and trimming to create the final product.
Vacuum Forming: A type of thermoforming where a heated plastic sheet is stretched onto a mould and vacuum pressure is applied to form the desired shape.
Plastic Welding: Joins plastic parts by melting the contact surfaces with heat or ultrasonic energy to create a strong bond.
Plastic fabrication is a great value to many industries, allowing the creation of custom and bespoke components to meet application needs, some of the industries we currently supply include;
Automotive: Fabricates components such as dashboards, interior trim, bumpers, and fluid containers.
Aerospace: Produces lightweight, durable parts for aircraft interiors, panels, and components.
Medical Devices: Creates custom parts for medical equipment, surgical instruments, and prosthetics that require precision and biocompatibility.
Construction: Uses fabricated plastic for piping, insulation, glazing, and cladding materials.
Consumer Goods: Manufactures products like toys, electronics housings, kitchen appliances, and storage containers.
By utilising different techniques such as CNC machining, thermoforming, and welding, plastic fabrication allows for the creation of lightweight, durable, and cost-effective components and products tailored to each specific application.
