Applications › Custom Parts & Enclosures
A custom plastic part that has to fit is a different job from a part that has to look right. We build to the drawing: material chosen for the environment, orientation chosen for the critical dimensions, heat-set or mid-print inserts, machined faces where the tolerance is tighter than printing holds, and a first article checked before the run. Item numbers and legends are printed on in the same shop.
Typical examples
- Brackets and mounts to drawing
- Components for robotics and automation equipment
- Parts with heat-set M-series inserts and slip-fit tolerances
- Machined-face printed parts
- Low-volume components that would otherwise need a mold
Materials, process and quantities
| Materials | ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, nylon, carbon- and glass-filled grades, Onyx FR; UL 94 V-0 flame-rated, ESD-safe, food-contact, medical-grade and chemical-resistant grades we can source where the environment requires them. |
|---|---|
| How it is made | Heated-chamber 3D printing, heat-set and embedded inserts, CNC facing and finishing, first-article inspection, UV-printed item numbers. |
| Quantities | One piece to prove the fit, then the run. Prototype samples, bridge quantities while a program settles, and recurring releases against a blanket order, each quoted on its own. |
| Options | Inserts, machined features, material certifications from the manufacturer, retained first articles, printed markings. |
| Who orders this | OEMs, automation and robotics, machine builders, instrumentation, contract manufacturers. |
What to send
A drawing or STEP file, the material or environment, quantity and whether it repeats, and any testing you require.
