The incredible advances we’ve seen in medical devices and equipment over the last few decades are due in large part to specialty plastics and the development of medical machining. Precise CNC machining allows for a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, and can produce parts with extremely tight tolerances. Medical machining can also accommodate specialty plastics with unique properties, such as high strength and stiffness and extreme heat resistance. As an industry leader in tight tolerances and CNC machining for over three decades, Reading Plastic can produce specialty plastic components for medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology applications.
