Customised plastic processing – endless possibilities
When you think of plastic processing, techniques such as milling, sawing, cutting, drilling or gluing immediately spring to mind. The possibilities are truly endless, but vary depending on the type of plastic you use. At Metaplex, a genuine Belgian manufacturing company, we have more than 45 years of experience in customising plastic for various sectors.
What is plastic?
Plastic is a synthetic material and therefore differs from natural materials such as wood or metal. Broadly speaking, we distinguish between three types of plastic:
- Thermoplastics – melt when heated and harden again when cooled. These plastics are often injection moulded and are ideal for customised projects.
- Thermosetting plastics – retain their hardness when heated and are therefore suitable for applications involving high temperatures.
- Elastomers – these plastics do not melt, but are elastic, making them ideal for flexible applications.
Thermoplastics are primarily used for many customised projects in industry, construction, signage and interior design because they are easy to process and offer excellent functional properties.
Applications of plastic
Plastic is all around us. Some examples of its applications:
- Advertising & displays: advertising boards, POS materials and displays for shops and events.
- Interior & design: coffee tables, display cabinets, partition walls and window profiles.
- Construction & industry: façade cladding, veranda and conservatory roofs, piping systems and machine parts.
- Mobility & transport: lightweight and strong components for vehicles and infrastructure.
Thanks to its longevity, versatility and durability, plastic is a popular material in both commercial and industrial applications.
Why customised plastic processing is important
Every project has its own requirements. That is why customised plastic processing is crucial to achieving the perfect result. At Metaplex, we tailor each project to the specific wishes of the customer, so that the end product is functional, aesthetic and durable.
Examples of customised operations:
- CNC milling and turning
- Laser cutting and engraving
- Polishing and bonding
