Comprehensive Solutions for Your Projects
At Total Plastics, our seasoned engineers and technicians become an extension of your team — partnering with you from concept through delivery. We begin with in‑depth CAD design reviews and rapid prototyping to validate form, fit, and function. From there, we leverage precision CNC routing, sawing, and drilling to machine complex parts out of polycarbonate, acrylic, UHMW, and other engineering plastics to tolerances as tight as ±0.005″. Whether you need intricate aerospace components or high‑clarity acrylic signage, our fabrication experts ensure every detail matches your exact specifications.
Beyond raw cutting and shaping, we offer complete finishing and assembly services. Our laser and die‑cutting systems produce razor‑sharp edges and fine detail in even the toughest materials. Thermoforming and vacuum forming capabilities let us create smooth, contoured shapes for enclosures, facades, and displays. When precise angles are critical, our line bending and drape forming processes deliver consistent, repeatable bends in sheet stock. To achieve showroom‑quality finishes, we utilize flame polishing and buffing, then add silk‑screened graphics or UV‑cured coatings as needed. Finally, our adhesive and solvent bonding, plastic welding, and full assembly services bring your multi‑component designs together into robust, production‑ready assemblies.

Rapid prototyping for design validation, followed by seamless scale‑up to full production with consistent quality control.
Backed by in‑house material testing labs and dimensional inspection, we guarantee every part—from Lexan impact windows to Plexiglas display covers—meets stringent performance and regulatory requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does cut-to-size plastic mean?
Cut-to-size plastic refers to sheets, plates, or rods trimmed to your specified dimensions. At Total Plastics, we use advanced saws and CNC routers to deliver ready‑to‑use parts that eliminate material waste and reduce downstream processing.
Can you machine Lexan® polycarbonate and Plexiglas® acrylic?
Absolutely. We routinely machine both Lexan® polycarbonate and Plexiglas® acrylic on our CNC and laser systems, producing clean, precise edges without micro‑cracks or burn marks.
How accurate are your CNC machining services?
Our CNC machining achieves tolerances as tight as ±0.005″ thanks to high‑precision equipment and rigorous in‑process inspection—critical for aerospace, medical, and electronics applications.
