This service enables three-dimensional contouring and sculpting for complex parts such as molds, housings, and custom components. With our 5-axis CNC routers, we can achieve deep cuts and intricate geometries that meet the most demanding industrial standards.
3. Plastic Sheet Routing
We specialize in precision routing of thermoplastic sheets—including HDPE, PP, PVC, and PVDF—for cutting and shaping into various industrial components. This method ensures clean edges, consistent thickness, and exact fit for assemblies.
4. Profile Routing
Our profile routing service focuses on machining the edges and contours of plastic parts. It is used for trimming extruded profiles, rounding corners, and creating precise perimeter shapes.
5. Engraving & Slotting
We offer CNC engraving and slotting services for detailed marking, branding, and functional design features. It is perfect for creating serial numbers, text, channels, or recesses in plastic parts.
6. Panel & Plate Cutting
Our CNC routing for panels and plates delivers fast, uniform cutting for large plastic sheets. This ensures accurate hole placement, uniform thickness, and perfect alignment for multi-component assemblies.
7. Prototype & Custom Component Routing
For customers developing new designs or prototypes, our custom CNC routing services provide flexibility in design modification and rapid turnaround. We can route components directly from CAD drawings to accelerate your product development cycle.
8. High-Precision 5-Axis Routing
Using multi-axis CNC routing technology, we can achieve complex angles, deep cuts, and curved surfaces that conventional machines cannot produce. This advanced method enhances precision and material efficiency.
9. Multi-Material Routing
Our routers are equipped to process a wide range of engineering plastics and composites, including PVC, CPVC, HDPE, PP, PVDF, PTFE, POM, and Acrylic—ensuring one-stop machining support for all your material needs.
