When it comes to machining small plastic parts, precision is key. Whether the part has an intricate design or needs to hold tight tolerances, there is very little margin for error. That is why it is important to choose a small plastic parts manufacturer who can deliver reliable, high precision parts.
Tight tolerances are typically required for complex part designs, parts that interact, and parts that have to withstand demanding environments. At Reading Plastic, tight tolerances are our wheelhouse. We’re able to deliver small plastic parts with tolerances of +/- .001 because of our expert staff and our fleet of fast, accurate CNC machines. As a small plastic parts manufacturer we offer CNC milling, routing, turning, and die stamping, which means we can use the manufacturing method best suited to your part.
With our CNC milling we can render parts with extremely tight tolerances, complex geometries, and surface finishes as smooth as 15Ra. Our CNC turning services excel at multi-axis lathe work, producing close tolerance parts that are 100% burr free with no sharp edges. Our vacuum-secured CNC routing system quickly turns out hundreds to thousands of identical parts, and we have both standard and speciality bits to handle the most advanced plastics. All of our machines allow us to achieve unmatched precision even while slashing cycle times and expanding a parts’ complexity.
We are always expanding our fleet of machines in order to expand our capabilities. Our new Horizontal Machining Center features three-sided machining, which means features that relate to one another can be machined in the same cycle to ensure accuracy. Its increased tooling capabilities also allow for the production of intricate parts with less setup and fewer steps, speeding up production times and lowering costs.
As a full service small plastic parts manufacturer, we also offer custom fabrication services to turn your machined parts into assembled, finished products. From simple assemble (such as snapping machined parts together) to more complex fabrication (such as bending or threading), our fabrication team delivers finished plastic parts ready for immediate use.
As an experienced small plastic parts manufacturer, we can machine a wide variety of plastics, no matter how technical. We specialize in Vespel®, Ultem®, PEEK, PVDF, Machine Grade Polycarbonate, UHMW, and more. To ensure we are meeting the highest standards, all of our parts must pass a thorough, ISO 9001:2008 certified quality inspection before shipping.
