Plastic machining takes skill and precision to ensure quality production. As a Tier 1 plastic machining services provider, distributor, and plastics fabricator, Advanced Industrial specializes in supplying tight tolerance, high-performance plastic machined parts. Our inventory includes an extensive stock of plastic blanks of premade bars, plastics, rods, tubes, and sheets.

We also have one of the most technically capable machining floors in the United States — our plastic machining department uses state-of-the-art CNC machine tools. Our team excels at achieving tight tolerances, exceeding high customer expectations, and facilitating the creation of intricate designs.

Our Plastic Part Machining Capabilities

At Advanced Industrial, our commitment to quality starts from the plastics fabrication stage. Our unique, proprietary approach to design, machining, and supply helps us create complex parts used in numerous industries.

Our machining processes account for every variable, including workpiece orientation and workholding, feed rates, cutting speeds, and careful tool selection. Determining all relevant project parameters in advance of production allows our engineers and technicians to meet virtually any unique or challenging specification. Our precision capabilities reduce the risk of chipping and enhance flexure, dimensional stability, heat tolerance, and more.

Accuracy and control are crucial when serving highly regulated industries where high-performance plastic parts must be suitable for use in extreme conditions. We serve numerous industries, including analytical instrumentation, food processing, life sciences, marine, material handling, and sample preparation. Gallery Image
