Plastic Fabricators

Plastic Fabricators

Plastic fabricators create parts or products made out of plastic. Plastic fabricators create anything made out of various types of plastics and supply just about every industrial market in one way or another.

Plastic fabricators perform plastic machining and/or plastic extruding. Plastic machining involves the shaping of plastic using lathes, drills, and other machines, often aided by computers. Plastic extruding, in comparison, is the process of shaping melted plastic through a die or mold. Plastic extruding is most often done for large volumes, whereas plastic machining is considered more economical for custom plastic fabrication and volumes of plastic parts between 100 and 1,000.

Plastic fabrication also includes plastic assembly, which consists of the precise cutting of plastic parts and their assembly into finished products using adhesives or welding.
