Machining

For custom plastic precision machining, Plastic Design and Manufacturing Inc. provides the services that you need. Working with all types of plastics: UHMW, PTFE, Nylon, PVC, Acetal, Acrylic, and many more, we can manufacture your products using our wide range of plastic precision machining expertise. Machining processes available include turning, milling, routing, threading, knurling, pocketing, and drilling, with CNC control capabilities for high precision work. We can manufacture parts with diameters as small as 0.060", or as large as 16". Part lengths can run to 48" for conventionally turned products, 24" for CNC turning, and maximum dimensions of 60" x 120" for milling and routing processes.

Our full service expertise also includes assistance in material selection depending on the precision tolerances required, as well as data sheets and printing services. We can provide in-house fixturing and tooling specialized for plastic machining, and we never re-use tools from one material to another in order to avoid contamination. With clients from industries as varied as textiles, aerospace, chemical, medical, and converting, we are fully prepared to meet any need that you may require.Send us your files and we will work with your speifications.
