When you are considering various plastic fabrication companies to partner with, it can be difficult to know who will be the right choice for your project. Luckily, our team has outlined what exactly you should look for when deciding on the right plastic fabrication partner for you.
What Will the Right Plastic Fabrication Company Offer?
Experience
It is important that your plastic fabrication partner has extensive experience in the services you require. This experience shows that your chosen fabrication partner knows exactly what they are doing during the manufacturing process and has the skills and knowledge to solve any issues that may arise during your fabrication process.
Additionally, it is important that your chosen fabrication partner has experience in your industry. This ensures that they have the necessary knowledge of the specifications, standards, and regulations required for your products.
Since 1934, Ensigner has been a global leader in plastic fabrication solutions. With nearly a century of experience, our team has all of the knowledge needed to complete your fabrication process with ease. We also have experience in a wide range of critical industries, including aerospace, fluidics, industrial, medical, oil and gas, and semiconductors.
Wide Range of Services
By offering a wide range of services, your ideal plastic fabrication partner will be able to handle all of the requirements of your project. That way you won’t have to find a secondary partner to handle certain processes.
At Ensinger, our team has the capabilities to perform a wide range of services, including:
- Plastic Annealing: This process heats plastics to a specific temperature to reduce the internal stresses on plastics. Plastic annealing assists with downstream processing and can reduce the risk of warping during fabrication.
- Component Assembly: Our team can bond parts, install threaded inserts, or complete bearing assembly to ensure your product comes fully assembled.
- Plastic Bending: We can bend plastics to ensure it is the exact shape your application requires.
- Plastic Bonding: We can bond plastics to each other or other substrates easily due to our extensive understanding of polymers’ physical properties.
Engineering Capabilities
When you partner with a plastic fabrication partner who has engineering capabilities, you will have the ability to review your designs to ensure your manufacturing process is as smooth as possible. Our engineering team at Ensinger offers various services to ensure all of the needs of your project are met. The engineering capabilities we offer include:
- Application material selection
- Part design and function
- CAD and manufacturing drawings
- FEA
- Design for Manufacturability Review
- Prototyping and testing
CNC Machining Services
With CNC machining services, your plastic fabricated parts will be manufactured with high accuracy and tight tolerances that aren’t achievable with other manufacturing methods, such as injection molding.
Ensigner offers various CNC machining processes to create the products you need:
- CNC Drilling: This process is used to machine holes that are limited to the size of the drill bit.
- CNC Broaching: The process of enlarging the drilled hole to the proper size while also improving the quality of the finish.
- CNC Boring: This process uses a single-point cutting tool to enlarge a hole by rotating the tool.
- CNC Milling: This process uses a cylindrical cutter on an axis to shape flat surfaces, grooves, and other characteristics into a part.
- CNC Tapping: This process creates a threaded hole for screws or bolts to help properly assemble your products.
- CNC Reaming: This CNC process smooths out existing holes and removes less material compared to CNC drilling.
