Operations

Plastic fabrication is any process that is used to design, manufacture or assemble plastics or plastic composites. There is a wide range of fabrication methods available, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Certain techniques may be applicable for roofs or panels that will not be utilized for small machine parts.

Plastic machining is a controlled, subtractive method of shaping and forming a product by removing layers of material. Both plastic and metal machining processes employ the use of lathes, mills, cutting machines, drill presses, and grinders to fabricate products; however, the procedures are different due to material properties.
