exceptional standard of finish and accuracy every time. Skilled machinists will work with the customer, assisting with problem solving during the design process and recommending cost saving options.

Turning: Plastic turning is one of the key stages of the CNC plastic machining process. It is a form of machining used to produce rotational, asymmetric parts such as holes, threads and grooves. It is also ideal for prototyping several solutions. We have expanded our machine shop to include two brand new DMG Mori CLX 450 Universal Turning Centres which offer multiple options.

Cad Cam: Vaplas uses CAD (Computer Aided Design) CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software to generate toolpaths that drive machine tools to turn designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is used to design and manufacture prototypes, finished parts, and production runs.
