Custom Cutting of Plastic

Custom cutting of plastic involves reducing a standard sheet or rod to the dimensions required for your application. Instead of receiving a full standard size, we supply a semi-finished plastic product tailored to your needs and production process.

This is particularly useful when you need material that must be processed immediately, for example, for milling or turning.

What is sawing to size used for?

Plastic saw to size is widely used as the first step in the machining process. By having the plastic saw to the correct size in advance, further processing becomes simpler and more efficient.

This process is used for, among other things:

  • parts for machine and equipment engineering
  • semi-finished products for further machining
  • plastic parts for technical applications
  • materials that need to be processed or assembled immediately

For many companies, custom sawing to size is also a practical solution when large sheet sizes are difficult to process in-house.

Which plastics is this suitable for?

We saw plastic to size in various materials. Commonly requested plastics for this process include POM, PA, HMPE, and polycarbonate. Depending on the material, thickness, and application, we select the appropriate approach.

Because every plastic has different properties, we always determine the most suitable sawing method. This ensures a clean and usable foundation for the next stage of your process.

Rough-cut or prepared for further processing

Depending on your needs, we deliver plastic rough-cut or prepared for further processing. In many cases, custom cutting is sufficient as a first step. If the material is subsequently milled, turned, or otherwise finished, it is important that the semi-finished product aligns well with that next step.

That is why we not only help you determine the dimensions but also consider the application of the material.

The benefits of custom-cut plastic

Custom-sawed plastic offers practical benefits for companies that further process plastic or wish to use it directly within their own production process. By sawing standard sheet material to the desired dimensions, the material better suits the application and the subsequent processing steps.

Custom-sawed plastic offers several advantages:

  • You receive custom-cut plastic tailored to your specific needs. This prevents you from having to further subdivide a full-size standard sheet yourself.
  • Large plastic sheets are not easy for every processor to handle internally. Especially with larger sizes, it can therefore be more efficient to have the material saw to size immediately.
  • Custom-cut plastic provides a solid foundation for further processing, such as milling or turning. In some cases, the material can also be planed, ensuring that the outer dimensions are prepared with greater precision.
  • Because the material is delivered in the correct dimensions, it aligns better with how you process it further within your business.
  • Custom sawing is entirely based on the customer’s request. At the same time, provided the material is in stock, cutting-only orders can often be delivered within one to two days.
