Utilize a Plastic Machining partner with 25 years of experience, who understands the materials, the machining process and the plastic machining industry to improve your profitability, shorten your lead times and provide value driven components at the high quality level your company deserves. From Prototypes to Low Volume to Production parts, Next Level Manufacturing is there to meet your needs.
If your build requires a plastic machined component, your company needs a specialist with 25 years of experience in the plastic machining industry. Knowledge of each individual material and it’s characteristics allows machinists to recognize the benefits and challenges for each particular project. Machining PEEK vs. Machining UHMW will have two very different strategies depending on geometry, design and tolerances. Expert plastic machinists will understand how each plastic material’s thermal expansion and contraction may affect the part as it is machined. A machinists knowledge of thermal expansion and contraction for each plastic material will allow that machinist to attack dimensions to ensure tolerances are held to print.
Working with a plastic machining partner will insure that parts are provided burr free. A tenured plastic machinist understands that speeds and feeds greatly affect how each individual plastic machines and the burrs it might create during the machining process. With 25 years of supplying plastic machined components, NLM understand the various post-machining processes to mitigate and eliminate any unwanted post machining burrs. From manual deburring to cryogenic deburring to tumbling, NLM can assist in providing a process to get rid of pesky burrs.
Understanding the ceilings of the various materials can also help in the design stage so that design engineers can design their build for fit & function, the environmental conditions as well as required stack tolerances for the overall project. Working with a plastic manufacturing partner that has experienced the successes and failures of each plastic material puts your project one step ahead for a successful outcome.
