Annealing – We Relieve Your Stress
Annealing is the process of relieving stresses built up in the materials during processing. Annealing plastic parts can increase the longevity of your machined plastic parts and components, ultimately saving you time and money! With our annealing services at Miller Plastic Products, we can turn your new plastic parts into durable, high-quality, and stress-free products.
At Miller Plastic Products, we carefully analyze each part to determine the best annealing method for your application requirements.
We understand the success of your custom parts depends on the success of our plastic annealing services.
Advantages
- Eliminates Crazing
- Improves material rigidity
- Prevents stress fractures
- Increases chemical-resistance
- Provides ability to sustain high temperatures without deflection
Thermoforming
Thermoforming is the process of heating and forming many of today’s modern plastic materials into highly useful and cost-effective parts such as control panels, displays, and many others.
The automated process achieves faster cycle times than in other forming processes.
Only thermoplastic sheet can be processed by this method.
The plastic sheet is softened at the heating station. It then indexes to the forming station where the mold tools are located. The forming of the sheet is done using a combination of air pressure and vacuum.
Many thermoplastics can be custom thermoformed; they include Polystyrene, Kydex®, Apet, Lexan®, PVC, and more.
Some of the Materials We Work With Include:
Inspection Capabilities:
- Full 3D CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine)
- Ability to Scan and Completely Reverse-Engineer Even Your Most Complex Parts
- Complete Digitizing Capability With Laser-Scanner
- CMM Can Completely Scan a Part or Gear and Produce a Useful Model
- Ability to Scan and Completely Compare Your Parts to CAD Model
