Custom fabricated solutions Designs

Uncategorised,

The design and fabrication team at Fx plastics offers flawless designs, cost effectiveness, reliability and high quality. Also, you will find our estimates accurate, prompt and competitive. Design and fabrication involves a series of steps which starts from the design phase based on the customer’s need, budget and timeline.

The first step to achieve custom fabricated solutions with the design and fabrication of acrylic sheets is to cut them into necessary sizes. CNC machines are used to achieve accurately cut blocks where it also cuts grooves into the pieces to ensure proper corners. The cut pieces are then bent to achieve the desired shape and design.

The next step in the design and fabrication process of acrylic sheets involve application of glue as per the design. It is important to glue the pieces accurately to avoid unfavourable defects in future. The last step is to polish the necessary pieces before they are assembled.

Advantages of CNC laser cutting

What is Computer Aided Drawing (CAD)?

Uncategorised,

Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) is a procedure carried out to design and fabricate the needs and products for businesses. It is mostly used in the manufacturing and construction industry to help them design, layout, and draw their requirements easily using CAD instead of paper and pencil.

CAD is often used to design a 2D or 3D diagram for marketing, graphs, diagrams, manufacturing, etc. It saves the time of drawing your product manually as it is all done over the software using its options and models which make it more efficient to draw and design. Once the product is designed, the output is of high quality as the software uses precise modeling. Although it is not a must, It is recommended however to get diamond polisher completed for a higher quality finishing touch.

CAD is now more popular compared to before as machines before were expensive compared to today. They improve the detailing level of the design and reduce the time to complete the design process as individuals don’t have to create 2D and 3D prototypes for their products, but can instead easily design it through this service and its features.

As they are more popular now, a bigger number of professions are now using this service for their projects including engineers, designers (graphic, home, product, etc.), manufacturers, businesses, etc., as it is much quicker, and of a higher quality. If you’re looking for someone that provides services for Computer aided drawing (CAD) contact Fx Plastics today to find out more.

Acrylic as a Glass Alternative

Uncategorised,

Acrylic, sometimes known by a brand name ‘Perspex’ is a very versatile material used extensively as an alternative to glass. The primary advantage of acrylic is its strength, being up to 17 times stronger than glass pieces and is highly shock and scratch-resistant. It is also much lighter than glass, weighing only half as much; hence acrylic is more easily transported.

Acrylic Fabrication is typically performed through CNC (computer numerical control) laser cutting processes. This utilises numerical inputs or computer-aided drawings (CAD) to control cutting machines. This allows for highly precise parts to be formed with minimal influence from human error and at much better prices than other forming techniques. Acrylic fabrication is also highly versatile and allows for large varieties of shapes to be formed.

Acrylic fabrication is used extensively as a glass replacement in applications ranging from aquarium windows to fiber optics. CNC laser cutting processes make many of these diverse applications possible.

FX Plastics are experts in CNC laser cutting processes for acrylic fabrication, providing precise and competitively priced fabrications for a plethora of acrylic applications. In recent times, FX Plastics has used such acrylic fabrication processes to provide acrylic panels to the customer service industry to serve as barriers protecting against the transmission of COVID 19.
