Comprehensive plastic prototyping and fabrication solutions engineered for the accuracy and reliability that medical and dental applications demand.
Produce precise medical and dental plastic prototypes from low-cost wood or polyurethane tooling within weeks. Ideal for design review, fit checks, and functional evaluation before committing to full production tooling.
Custom thermoforming and vacuum forming of medical-grade plastic components using ABS, HDPE, PETG, and high-temperature materials. Eight forming machines handle parts ranging from small device housings to large enclosures.
Low-cost prototype tooling in wood or polyurethane for initial design validation, transitioning seamlessly to aluminum production molds once prototypes are approved — minimizing cost and lead time at every stage.
Precision CNC trimming of thermoformed medical and dental parts to exact drawing specifications. Two 5'x10' trimming centers deliver clean edges, accurate holes, and assembly-ready surfaces for healthcare components.
Full-service plastic fabrication including precision drilling, heat bending, bonding, fastener installation, and edge finishing — producing finished, assembly-ready medical and dental plastic parts from a single source.
Expert guidance on selecting the right medical-grade plastic based on chemical resistance, impact requirements, temperature tolerance, and regulatory considerations — ensuring your part performs reliably in clinical and dental environments.
Our sales and engineering team — led by Brad and Cody Hill — reviews your part drawings, functional requirements, and regulatory considerations. We use SolidWorks CAD software to validate your design and identify any adjustments needed for manufacturability in thermoformed plastic.
