Services
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming creates cost-effective, detailed plastic parts by heating sheets and molding them with vacuum pressure. Ideal for large components, this process balances aesthetics and functionality. We use in-house mold-making to reduce costs and ensure precision for industries like aerospace and biomedical.
CNC Machining
Our CNC machining delivers high-precision plastic components, including lab equipment and robotic parts. Using advanced 3- and 5-axis routers, we achieve tight tolerances for materials like acrylic and polycarbonate. This automated process ensures repeatability and quality for prototyping and production runs.
Product Development
From sketches to final products, we manage every development stage. Our team uses CAD modeling and prototyping to refine ideas into scalable solutions. With expertise in filtration systems and custom machinery, we streamline timelines and reduce costs for complex industrial projects.
Plastic Welding
Specializing in PVC and polyethylene welding, we create durable safety equipment like fume hoods and containment trays. Our meticulous process ensures structural integrity for laboratory and industrial applications, meeting strict safety and compliance standards.
Conceptual Design
We transform ideas into detailed 3D models and prototypes, ensuring design integrity and functionality. Using photo-realistic rendering, we help clients visualize products before production, aiding in investor pitches or market testing with accurate, scalable representations.
