Cut to Size Plastic Fabrication
Using one of a variety of plastic cutting processes including CNC machining and table saw, we are able to cut plastic sheet, rod and tubing to size for our customers.
Cut to Size Capabilities
We are able to cut plastic sheets, rods and tubes to size for your production orders, using either CNC/precision machining, or plastic table saw methods:
- CNC machining – for detailed, curved or otherwise unusual shapes
- Table saw – for square, rectangle, or other angled shapes
We are experienced in cutting plastic materials to size for applications such as:
- Signage
- Tanks and vessels
- Industrial piping
- POP displays
- Windshields
- Clean room & lab equipment
- Packaging
- …and more
We are able to cut to size the following plastic materials, which we can also supply in raw form to you:
- ABS
- Polymers
- Nylon
- Acetal
- Delrin
- Thermoplastics
- Acrylics (ESD, tinted, coloured)
- Mechanical plastics
- HDPE, LDPE
- PVC, CPVC
- UHMW
- Polycarbonates (Lexan*)
- Polyolefin
- PVDF (Kynar)
- …and others
In addition, our finishing services are second to none. If required, we can finish the cut edges of your cut to size order.
Prototypes to Volume Production
In addition to cutting to size, we can take a customer’s unique design for an item in plastic, work with them to select the best plastics material for the job, then fabricate a prototype and bring the item to full-volume production.
Plas-Tech Fab has more than 50 years of custom plastic fabrication, plastic welding, vacuum forming and precision machining experience and exceptional material knowledge. We are able to advise customers to optimize their plastics designs and to select the ideal plastic materials for each job. We specialize in complex and high-quality custom plastic fabrication, making us the go-to fabricators for tough and mission-critical plastic fabrication jobs.
We work closely with North American customers to fabricate, weld and CNC machine their designs in a wide range of synthetic materials.
About Cutting Plastic
Plastic can be cut using the same types of tools that are used to cut wood; however, specialized attachments are required.
For example, plastic and acrylic materials can be cut using power saws, table saws and circular saws. Blades designed to cut aluminum or copper are used, and special blades are needed to cut acrylic. The correct type of blade combined with the correct lubricant and expertise in plastics will ensure that the cut edges do not tear or chip.
A CNC machine can also be used to cut plastic to size. This is an automated machine tool that is run with pre-programmed software. CNC precision machining can accomplished more detailed, complex, and precision cuts, including curves, cut-outs and more.
When ordering cut to size plastic from Plas-Tech Fabrications, be sure to ask about our expert finishing services. We can ensure that the cut edges of your job are finished to specification for the purposes of safety or aesthetics.
