Capability
Custom Plastic Extrusion
Tubes, rods and profiles extruded to your cross-section in PMMA, PC, ABS, ASA and PE. We review the drawing for manufacturability before quoting, because a section that cannot be held in production is cheaper to fix on paper than after tooling is cut.
How a custom part gets made
- Drawing reviewWall thickness balance, corner radii, achievable tolerance
- Material adviceClarity, impact, UV and temperature trade-offs
- QuotationTooling, unit price, MOQ, lead time
- ToolingDie cut and trialled
- First sampleYou approve before we run production
- ProductionChecked against the approved sample
What to send us
- Cross-section drawing — STEP, DWG, DXF or dimensioned PDF
- Critical dimensions and which tolerances actually matter
- Material, or the performance you need if you are unsure
- Colour, finish and transparency
- Length and annual quantity
- Certifications required in your market
- What the part does and what it assembles to
If you do not have a drawing, a dimensioned sketch or a sample part is enough to start.
Design guidance
Keep wall thickness even
Uneven walls cool at different rates, which is the usual cause of warping and dimensional drift in an extruded section. Where a thick section is unavoidable, we will suggest how to hollow or rib it.
Radius sharp corners
Sharp internal corners concentrate stress and are hard to fill consistently. A small radius usually costs nothing and improves both quality and yield.
Name the tolerances that matter
Tightening every dimension raises cost without improving fit. Tell us which two or three dimensions the assembly actually depends on.
Ask about existing tooling first
If a stock section is close to your requirement, adapting your design to it removes tooling cost and shortens lead time considerably.
