Custom Fabrication
Custom plastic fabrication involves the design, engineering, and manufacturing of plastic components tailored to specific requirements and applications. It involves us transforming raw plastic materials into finished components, through various methods and technologies.
Key Steps in the Fabrication Process
Design & Engineering
CAD Modeling: Using computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed 3D models of the desired part.
Prototyping: Developing prototypes to test and refine the design before full-scale production.
CNC & Laser Cutting
CNC Cutting: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines use precision tools to cut and shape plastic materials accurately.
Laser Cutting: High-powered lasers cut or engrave plastic sheets with precision, ideal for intricate designs.
Thermoforming & Bending
Thermoforming: Heating plastic sheets until they become pliable, then molding them into specific shapes using a mold.
Thermobending: Heating plastic along a line to bend it into desired angles and shapes.
Joining & Assembly
Techniques like welding, solvent bonding, and mechanical fastening are used to assemble multiple plastic components into a final product.
Finishing
Polishing: Ensuring smooth surfaces and edges.
Painting/Coating: Applying finishes for aesthetic and protective purposes
