CNC/Laser Processing

CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control. CNC production saws are available for custom plastic fabrication in all of our Los Angeles facilities, as well as many of our partner branches. It’s the best method for plastic pieces that need a tight tolerance. It can also help you to meet strict deadlines.

CNC laser processing allows us to stack numerous sheets and cut through them at once. This helps ensure a quick turnaround and guarantees that each piece or shape is identical. CNC is the go-to technique for laser cutting, engraving, and routing in custom fabrication, and it’s the ideal option for any Los Angeles business that uses plastics.

Plastic Thermoforming

When you need your plastic pieces molded into whole specific shapes, thermoforming is the best option. During the thermoforming process, we heat the plastic sheet to the point where it’s pliable, allowing us to shape and stretch it to fit your specifications.

Thermoformed materials are excellent for applications that need to be watertight. We offer custom plastic fabrication in Los Angeles in high volumes with quick turnaround times, so reach out to us for help determining if thermoforming is best for your application.

FAQs

What kind of plastics are used in thermoforming?

Many types of plastics can be used in thermoforming. These include moldable acrylic, PVC-acrylic, flexible ABS, HIPS, PET, and PETG. With our help, even thermoforming foam PVC is possible. Contact us for more information on other types of plastics that can be thermoformed.

What are the benefits of custom acrylic fabrication?

Acrylic is a versatile hard plastic that is lightweight, durable, and resistant to smoke, heat, and other hazards. It’s a great replacement for glass and metal because it weighs less and is longer-lasting, which reduces maintenance and upfront costs. Acrylic also reacts well to thermoforming, meaning it can be molded into a variety of shapes, whether they are simple or complex. Custom acrylic fabrication is an excellent alternative to glass and metal for hundreds of industries, including bullet-resistant security windows, building and construction, aerospace, and the automotive industry.

What is polycarbonate used for?

Polycarbonate can be used for a myriad of applications. It’s an ideal stand-in for glass because it has a natural, built-in UV filter. It’s also heat-resistant, so it can be used to create molds for silicone and urethane casting as well as 3D-printed items. From eyeglasses to smartphones to car dashboards and medical devices, you’ve probably used something containing polycarbonate in the last hour.

How can Polymershapes help me with my custom plastic fabrication project?

With over 70 years of experience, Polymershapes’ skilled and experienced staff is ready to help you with any custom plastic fabrication project, from discussing your vision with you to working with you until the completion of your project. In addition to offering plastic supply in Los Angeles, Polymershapes also has a network of suppliers and stocking facilities throughout the Americas so you can easily access inventory that’s more local to you. We can even offer same-day delivery for many products.

How is CAD programming used?

Computer-aided design (CAD) programming allows us to experiment with a variety of designs to create exactly what you need. We use CAD and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create prototypes and blueprints according to your specifications and then bring them to life. Once you’re pleased with the result, we can help you with the next steps of your project. Our plastic design process includes CAD programming. Get in touch to find out more about our CAD and CAM plastic designing services.

What kind of precision should I expect from your machining services?

Our machining services are built for projects that need close dimensional control. Tolerance will vary by material and part design, but we use CNC equipment and CAD data to keep finished parts consistent with the supplied drawings. By using CNC technology and precise CAD programming, we hit the very tight tolerances required by the aerospace and defense sectors. While the exact margin depends on how a specific polymer expands with heat or the thickness of the stock, our Los Angeles team focuses on ensuring every finished part matches your technical blueprints exactly.

Can you support both prototyping and full-scale production for custom plastic parts?

Yes, we offer end-to-end support. From prototyping plastic products to full-scale production of industrial plastic components, our capabilities include precision thermoforming, vacuum forming plastics, and the fabrication of molded plastic parts tailored to your exact specifications.
