Bespoke Plastic Components

Bespoke Precision Machined Plastic Components

Contract Manufacturing of Precision Machined Plastic Components

Carville specialise in the heat treatment, precision machining, bonding and polishing of plastics, with a unique level or expertise with Perspex Acrylic / Rohm Plexiglas (PMMA).  If you are looking for unique, custom made plastic components, requiring a level of precision milling or turning, then Carville can help you out.

 

Quantities and Range of sizes

Carville can support quantities from one-off’s through to many thousands of parts.  Clients sometimes use Carville for machining bespoke prototype parts with several design iterations prior to a design freeze and commissioning mould tools for series production parts if the design is suitable.  Part sizes range from a few millimetres across, through to large, fabricated plastic assemblies a few metres width.

 

Materials for Bespoke Plastic Machined parts

Precision Machined Plastic ComponentsCarville CNC machine a range of plastic materials, some examples are shown below

  • PolyMethyl MethAcrylate, (PMMA – Acrylic)
  • PolyCarbonate, (PC)
  • Polyethylene (PE)
  • PolyOxyMethylene, (POM – Delrin)
  • PolyPropylene, (PP)
  • PolySUlphone, (PSU)
  • PolyEtherImide, (PEI – Ultem)
  • PolyEther Ether Ketone, (PEEK)
  • Poly Vinly Chloride (PVC)

 

The above is not an extensive list. If you require a CNC machined component in an engineering grade plastic, please forward a manufacturing drawing to Carville for review. Drawings may be sent to sales@carville.co.uk.  We can also get some materials in medical or food safe grades to suit bio compatibility requirements.
