How we support our customers with choosing the right material for the job is simple: we talk to them – for as long as it takes. 

Our plastics knowledge is vast. We have seen the evolution of polymer materials over the years and have machined hundreds of varying grades and types of plastics.

Aluminum, Brass, Bronze, Steels, and other softer metal materials is our little niche with metals. We purposefully take on only those types of metals due to our extensive internal catalog of tooling and setup surrounding plastics which can be more or less adjacent to soft metals.
