CNC Machining & Plastic Welding

Precision multi-axis machining of engineering plastics paired with certified plastic welding for tanks, ducts, and structural assemblies.

CNC machining

Plastic doesn't machine like metal — feed rates, chip clearance, and fixturing all need to account for thermal expansion and the fact that the workpiece can deflect under cutting forces. Our machinists run plastic every day and build fixtures for it.

  • 3-axis CNC routing
    Large-bed routers for sheet, formed parts, and panels up to roughly 5' × 10'.
  • Mill & turn
    Vertical mills and lathes for round, prismatic, and machined plate parts.
  • Tight tolerances
    ±0.005" typical on machined features; tighter on request with appropriate fixturing.
  • Engineering plastics
    Acetal/Delrin, UHMW, PEEK, PTFE/Teflon, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Acrylic, PVC, ABS.

Plastic welding

For structural assemblies, chemical-resistant tanks, and ducts, plastic welding is the right join — stronger and more durable than adhesive bonds, and serviceable in the field. We weld polyolefins (HDPE, PP), PVC, PVDF, and other thermoplastics.

  • Hot-air welding
    Hand and machine welding for HDPE, PP, PVC, PVDF tanks, ducts, and assemblies.
  • Extrusion welding
    Heavy-section structural welds for tank fabrication and tall vessels.
  • Hot-plate welding
    Repeatable thermoplastic joints for production assemblies.
  • Inspection
    Visual weld inspection per AWS / DVS practice; spark testing on request.
