plastics machining<\/h2>

expertise that makes a difference<\/span><\/h3>

Plastic machining requires a completely different approach than metalworking. Plastics have unique properties that demand specialized processing techniques. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of these materials and ensure optimal processing tailored to the characteristics of each type of plastic. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n
\n

Milling is a subtractive machining process where a rotating cutting tool removes material from a plastic block, allowing the creation of complex shapes with high precision. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t \n Turning <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

In plastic turning, a plastic rod is clamped in a lathe and rotated at high speed while cutting tools remove material. This technique is used to create cylindrical or conical shapes such as tubes, rings, and screws. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t \n Laser cutting <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Laser cutting is a thermal cutting technique where a fine, focused laser beam heats and melts the plastic, producing clean and precise cuts. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t \n Bending <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Bending is used to reshape plastic sheets into specific angles or forms by heating and bending the material, ensuring permanent deformation without breaking. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t \n Welding <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Plastic welding is a joining technique where two plastic parts are fused together using heat. The molecules of both pieces merge, forming a strong, durable, and waterproof bond. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t \n Bonding <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

In some cases, bonding is a suitable alternative to welding. While simpler, it still requires expertise. The choice between bonding and welding depends on the plastic material and project requirements. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n
\n

Sawing is a cost-effective and versatile technique for cutting plastic into straight lines, angles, and contours. Though less precise than laser cutting, it is ideal for quick and flexible applications. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
