Our Clients
Services
Heavy-Gauge Thermoforming
Plastics Design & Manufacturing specializes in heavy gauge thermoforming, a process that converts a flat sheet into a functional form.
Vacuum Forming
Plastics Design & Manufacturing provides plastic vacuum forming design services with extensive forming, trimming, assembly and finishing capabilities.
Pressure Forming
Award-winning pressure forming allows for precise reproduction of tool definition, including textures, undercuts and reveals required in high definition, close tolerance parts.
Large Part Thermoforming
Large panels, housings, enclosures, and similar parts are especially well suited to the thermoforming process.Tooling costs for these parts is considerably less than injection molding, which may have prohibitive tooling costs.
Profile Extrusion
We possess a wide range of versatility in production and material-processing experience. This allows us to deliver the high-quality products you expect. No exceptions and no compromises.
CNC Machining
Our 3-Axis and 5-Axis CNC milling centers are utilized for tooling development, close-tolerance secondary machining of custom-formed products and custom-machined components.
Finishing
Our custom finishing services include EMI/RFI shielding, custom painting and texturing, pad printing, and multi-color silk screening. The integration of these services provides turnkey production capability, resulting in better quality, delivery and pricing control.
Assembly
Integration of our custom assembly services includes: mechanical assembly, subassembly, labeling, and special packaging, all incorporated into your manufacturing program. These value-added processes accommodate “ship-to-stock” requirements while reducing costs.
Custom Fabrication
Plastics Design & Manufacturing’s custom fabrication capabilities provide high quality workmanship in secondary processing to ensure finished details meet customers’ expectations
Tooling
Tooling is manufactured in house by highly qualified tool makers with an extensive line of 3-Axis and 5-Axis CNC milling centers.
Engineering & Design
Support
At Plastics Design & Manufacturing, you’ll have access to on-site engineering. This capability helps make your job a success through sound advice from concept to finished product.
Quality Control
Our dedication to quality in all phases of production is evident in our compliance to AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 vendor certification requirements. It equates to confidence and peace of mind.
Equipment List
Vacuum forming is the process where a plastic sheet is placed over a tool and vacuum is applied to bring the sheet tight to the tool.
It has been great to draw on PDM’s long experience with vacuum forming while developing new cover panels for our medical equipment. The covers and the product have turned out great.
Scott
Director of Engineering
Plastics Design & Manufacturing has been our partner for more than 30 years. Their attention to detail, culture of continuous improvement (including recent AS9100D certification and understanding of cost pressure) makes us wish we had more suppliers like them.
Andrew
Program Manager
I truly wish more suppliers were as accommodating or as easy to work with as the Plastics Design & Manufacturing team.
