WHAT IS PLASTIC FABRICATION?
Plastic fabrication is the process of manipulating and shaping raw plastic materials into finished plastic products or components. The raw materials used in plastic fabrication are known as polymers, which are large molecules composed of repeating subunits called monomers. These polymers can be synthetic or naturally occurring and possess a wide range of properties, making them suitable for various applications.
The process of plastic fabrication involves several techniques, each designed to achieve specific results based on the desired product. These techniques include:
1. Plastic Extrusion: Plastic extrusion is a popular method where raw plastic materials are melted and forced through a die to form continuous profiles. The extruded plastic can take the shape of pipes, tubes, sheets, and various custom profiles, making it a versatile process used in construction, packaging, and automotive industries.
2. Injection Molding: Injection molding is a widely-used technique that involves injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies to form the desired shape. This method is ideal for mass-producing intricate and complex parts, such as bottle caps, automotive components, and household items.
3. Thermoforming: Thermoforming employs heat to soften plastic sheets, which are then shaped over a mold using pressure or vacuum. It is commonly used to create packaging materials, disposable cups, and trays.
4. CNC Machining: Computer Numerical Control CNC routing involves using precision machinery to cut, drill, and shape plastic materials based on computer-generated designs. This method is ideal for creating custom and high-precision parts in industries like aerospace and electronics.
5. Welding and Joining: Plastic fabrication may also involve welding and joining techniques to assemble various plastic parts or components. Common methods include ultrasonic welding, solvent bonding, and hot gas welding.

1. Point of Sale: We make a huge range of retail display, POS and POP products – from bespoke one-offs to large volume stands, racks, FSDUs, CTUs, shelf management and more.
2. Automotive: For the automotive industry, we make components, screens, interior parts and mouldings, covers, trays etc
3. Electronics: The electronics industry heavily relies on plastic fabrication to produce casings, connectors, and insulating components for various devices and equipment.
4. Street Furniture & Traffic Management: We fabricate covers, backboards, lenses, shrouds, baffles etc.
5. Medical Devices: Plastic fabrication is crucial in the production of medical devices, equipment, and packaging. Its biocompatibility and ease of sterilization make it suitable for a wide range of medical applications.
Conclusion:
Plastic fabrication is a fascinating and indispensable process that has revolutionized modern manufacturing. From its early origins to the sophisticated methods employed today, plastic fabrication continues to be a driving force behind innovation and product development across various industries. The ability to transform polymers into valuable products and components has cemented plastic fabrication as a cornerstone of modern society, enabling us to enjoy the convenience, safety, and efficiency of countless plastic-made items in our daily lives.
