Vacuum forming plastic is a popular processing method for a small amount of product with a large area, for example, a skylight dome, LOGO sign, etc.

The thermoforming solution includes vacuum forming, compression molding, oven forming, pressure forming. It is the best solution for custom polycarbonate parts with small/middle quantities, for example, riot shield, clear kayak, bubble tent, polycarbonate tray, lampshade, polycarbonate suitcase, etc.

Laminating plastic is a popular processing technology for security glass and bullet-proof glass. UVPLASTIC can laminate different plastic, for example, Scratch Resistant Polycarbonate, plexiglass, glass.

CNC Routing is an easy method to get a complicated shape for a polycarbonate part, such as polycarbonate shields, display screens. And CNC routers can do some milling work by using a milling tool.

Here is the machining capability of UVPLASTIC CNC Routers:

  • Max. Length: 2500mm;
  • Max. Width: 1300mm;
  • The tolerance is ±0.05mm

Drilling polycarbonate is a popular machining polycarbonate by drilling machine or CNC Router. When you need to fix polycarbonate parts by screw, you need to drill some holes on polycarbonate panels.

UVPLASTIC can drill different holes according to drawings from clients.

Vacuum Casting Polycarbonate is the best way to get small-quantity polycarbonate parts from 10 pcs to 200 pcs. This method can get tight tolerance and different colors, including transparent, translucent, and opaque.

UVPLASTIC can provide complicated polycarbonate parts by vacuum casting.

UVPLASTIC provides custom rapid prototyping services and a small amount of production with close tolerances. The normal methods are CNC machining, 3D Printing, Vacuum Casting, etc.

These custom plastic prototyping are used in aerospace, automobile, medical industry, etc.

UVPLASTIC provides the coating services for polycarbonate and plexiglass, including

layer on the surface of solid polycarbonate sheet for the specific function and longer lifespan, including:

  • UV Coating: it offers a longer lifespan when used outdoor;
  • Anti-fog Coating: It provides optimum clarity under high humidity conditions, even water for visual products including helmet visor, snowmobile helmets, medical eye and face shield, goggle lens;
  • The scratch-resistant coating offers custom polycarbonate with hard surfaces. It can be used as display screens, bus windows, safety glass;
  • Anti-static coating, someone also calls it as an electrostatic-sensitive coating (ESD);
  • Non-glare Coating;

CNC Machining Polycarbonate is a popular processing method with the close tolerances

UVPLASTIC has Three-Axis and Five-Axis precise CNC machines and provides custom polycarbonate parts with a tight tolerance for industry applications, for example, the automation industry, semiconductor, medical industry, electric industry, aircraft industry, etc.

Polishing polycarbonate is the last step for custom polycarbonate parts, it offers an eye-catching appearance and longer lifespan.

UVPLASTIC offers excellent surface finishing solutions, such as buffing polishing, mechanical polishing, sanding surface, etc.

Polycarbonate injection molding solution is the best solution for the small size of custom polycarbonate parts with big quantity. It offers high precision, complicated shape, great appearance.

UVPLASTIC provides the following services:

  • Designing;
  • Rapid prototyping;
  • Small scale production;

Polycarbonate printing is a method to get some pattern on polycarbonate panels by silk screen printing or digital printing. By CNC routing it, it can be used as the display screen.

UVPLASTIC offers excellent polycarbonate printing services including silkscreen printing and digital printing, and ink printing.

Polycarbonate welding/gluing is to make two polycarbonate parts together by gluing, and it is strong as the completed part, and it won’t change the color of the polycarbonate part. Normally, the glue is colorless, non-toxic, no-smell, and heat-resistant liquid.

UVPLASTIC provides polycarbonate welding/gluing service according to drawings from clients.

Soft tooling mold is preferred when we need injection molded parts quickly at a lower cost. It is also a good choice for low volumes from 500 pcs to 4000 pcs.

If your parts are complicated, it is expensive to machine them by CNC or vacuum casting, soft tooling mold will be a better choice.

Polycarbonate sandblasting is an easy way to get a frosted surface for polycarbonate parts.

UVPLASTIC provides sandblasting service by using silica sand from 16 mesh to 320 mesh.

Yes, UVPLASTIC provides the integrated machining solution for polycarbonate film, including cutting, thermal forming, vacuum forming, drilling, polishing, bending, anti-fog coating, hard coating, etc.

Yes, UVPLASTIC has more than 20 engineers, they have more than 10 years of experience in the custom polycarbonate field and can design it according to clients’ requirements. Meantime, they can find the best fabrication solution.

Normally, we will get a rapid prototype for automotive light by CNC machining, Vacuum Casting, and 3D printing, etc.

Yes. UVPLASTIC has manufactured many custom polycarbonate parts for automation equipment, for example, inspection window, protective shield, polycarbonate flange, polycarbonate tray, etc.

It is hard to have excellent tolerance when bending flat polycarbonate sheets, normally, the tolerance will be ±0.5mm for cold bend, but our engineer found a solution for this potential risk.

Solution One: we will manufacture the important sizes by using a five-axis CNC machine after bending processing;

Solution Two: Designing flexible mounting dimensions, for example, we will change circular holes to ring-shaped holes;

Solution Three: We will bend a polycarbonate part with a bigger size, then cut it to the right size.

Anyway, our engineer can find the right solution to meet your requirement in size.

Yes, the sample cost is more expensive than the cost in bulk order. Because we need to manufacture a new polycarbonate sheet for the sample only. Sometimes, we will use any material for it. Therefore, the sample cost is more expensive than the cost in bulk order.

For sample order, the following is our proposal:

  • Firstly, there are clear PE films on two sides of polycarbonate parts, we will keep it, which can protect it from scratch;
  • Secondly, we will wrap one more clear PE film and PE foam with 1.5mm to protect samples from colliding;
  • Thirdly, we will package all samples together and use the white foam panel with 15mm thickness, which can protect them from impact when delivering;
  • Fifthly, we will put all things into a carton, and use packing string;
  • Finally, we will use a clear PE film to close the carton, it will avoid water and humidity.

For bulk orders, we will choose the custom package according to quantity.

Yes. UVPLASTIC has a subsidiary-UVACRYLIC, which is a leading supplier of machining acrylic service.
