Plastic Injection Molding;

The “PIM” process will allow you unparalleled detail in  your design. You can emboss micro lettering into your mold, hold  tolerances of .005 and mold intricate details such as tabs and surface  finishes right into your part with no problem. We can cater to larger  parts with a 385 Tons (46 oz. shot) press. With up to 528 clamp tonnage  and 66 ounce shot capacity, we can handle most calls for single shot,  multiple shot, or over molding components. Parts with a higher EAU lend  themselves to this process as PIM is very cost effective for larger  quantities. Some Commonly Molded Plastics Include: Polystyrene ABS,   Polypropylene, Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride. Rapid Prototyping,  Mold Design and Machining  available. 

Plastic Composites;

Often times, composites can be a perfect substitute for conventional metal when things such as weight, part life, maintenance  and cost are critical factors. Benefits include: noise reduction, design flexibility, lower energy consumption, color choices, increased durability, abrasion  resistance and hydrolytic stability. Ask us about a custom composite solution for your requirement today!

MIL spec certified, ISO Certified, Rapid Prototyping, finishing, plating and painting available.

Plastic Extrusions;

Thermal plastic extruding  can offer a range of attrative  benefits from cost reduction to color options and weight solutions. In  addition to Tubing, Profiles and Co-Extrusions, we can offer you  punching, sealing and fabrication services as well. 

Custom Profile Tubing from .125″ to 4″ dia. in most thermoplastic matl. Interior, exterior and UV options available.
Custom Profile Extrusions under our vacuum process can hold tight tolerances, and produce profiles 1/8″ to 8″ wide.
Co-Extrusions are also capable of holding tight tolerances in small and large  profiles. Available in interior, exterior, uv and high heat options.
Post Extrusion Fabrication includes punching, drilling, cutting, notching, welding and tape applications.

Color  choice is always your option. Let us quote your next Plastic Extrusion  Project, and you’ll see that we have very competitive prices, and great  delivery of a great product! 

Pressure & Vacuum Forming;

Pressure Forming

For smaller volume runs,  pressure forming offers injection-molded quality and details. The  pressure applied (up to 100 pounds per square inch) is approximately  five times higher than with vacuum forming, which makes it possible to obtain highly detailed parts and textured finishes. Advantages are sharp edges, undercuts, and other close tolerance details. You receive a product with the look and feel of an injection or structural foam molded part.
 

Vacuum Forming

Our  vacuum-forming systems can take sheet plastics like thermoplastic, ABS,  EPS, polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride in thicknesses up to .375″ and  sheet sizes of 48″ x 72″ . We form them to your custom specifications.  Typical tolerances for Thermoformed Parts are ± 0.008 to ± 0.002. 

Custom Plastic FabricationBending,  welding, punching and bonding complex plastic fabrications in a wide  range of sizes is one of our specialties. Processes are typically  plastic welding, drilling, millling and cutting to attain these high  quality assemblies.


We can work in a variety of plastics from ABS to  combining plastics with metals, and other third party parts you may need  professionally assembled.
