Australian's Leading Plastic Manufacturers & Suppliers

Plastic bending, also called line bending, is a simple plastic fabrication technique that requires the plastic to be heated until malleable enough to produce the number of bends required. This bending can be performed manually or using an automated bending machine. The required heat is based on the thickness of the plastic and is applied in a straight line using a strip heater, rather than heating the entire sheet.
After the required temperature is achieved, the plastic is bent along this line and held in place until the plastic cools to maintain the bend. It’s often used to manufacture simple items with one or two parallel bends, for example, equipment housings, brochure holders, signage, machine guards and boat screens.
Many of our custom plastic fabrication orders include plastic bending which is a very cost-effective way to manufacture high volumes of finished items.

Plastic fabrication involves manufacturing products made from plastic or plastic composites and, depending on the needs of the client, can also involve designing and assembling these products as well. However, given the wide range of plastic materials that are available and the sheer variety of plastic products that can be produced, there’s no single method of fabrication.
Instead, there’s a collection of fabrication methods with some more suitable for specific plastics whilst others are better for certain products. Below is a list of high-quality, plastic materials that are available for your projects. These are available in different thicknesses, textures, transparencies and colours. If you require assistance selecting the best materials for your project or need custom plastic fabrication – we are happy to help!

CNC machining is a computerised process that uses pre-programmed software to control the actions of complex machinery. It’s used to create highly precise plastic components or products across a variety of industries.
The term “CNC” actually means Computer Numerical Control and simply refers to the automated control of machine tools, including CNC lathes, turning and milling equipment. In simpler terms, it combines mechanical designs, technical drawings, mathematics and computer programming to produce a range of plastic parts and components. Essentially, using CNC machining, we can take a sheet of plastic and create complex and highly precise aerospace or automotive component.

Plasticut is the leading plastic fabricator in Melbourne, supplying a range of services to residential, commercial, industrial and DIY customers around Australia. Whilst one of our widely used services is CNC machining, we also offer a conventional machining process on an as-needed basis.
If you’re not sure which type of machining you need, whether a CNC or conventional process, just give us a call and we’ll provide you with all the advice you need to make the right decision for your project.

Are you in need of superior reverse engineering services? At Plasticut we can reverse engineer a range of shapes and receptacles, and rise to the challenge of customised one-off prototype plastic engineering tasks when requested. Our team of specialists can reverse engineer from new, broken or worn originals as well as recreate from photographs or sketches. We have state-of-the-art CNC machining and CNC routing which offers precision finishes with ease.

Plasticut is an Australian-owned and operated manufacturer with Perspex, but we also provide a range of fabrication processes that include Laser Cutting. This is a highly precise and accurate process that uses a computer-directed laser to cut very intricate shapes and small holes in flat sheets of plastic, yielding a perfect result every time.
We manage your project from start to finish, starting with the design and ending with delivery to your warehouse in Australia or worldwide. Our technical expertise and professional engineering solutions ensure you receive high-quality, consistent products with a fast turnaround.

With more than 40 years’ in the industry, Plasticut is one of the leading suppliers of plastic cut to size in Melbourne. Whether you want full sheets, half sheets, quarter sheets or custom sizes, we can provide all the plastic you need, cut to the exact sizes you require.
Cut-to-size plastic is great for hobbyists and DIY projects, as well as commercial, residential and industrial applications.

A leading plastic fabrication company in Melbourne, our team of engineers and fabrication specialists at Plasticut provide a comprehensive service offering, featuring all elements of plastic design.
