Hardware: Plastic bearings, handles, covers
Education: Conceptual prototypes

What are the advantages of custom plastic part manufacturing?

At Norck, we believe custom plastic part manufacturing offers key advantages over medium or high-volume production:

Lower Costs: While the per-part cost may be higher, there's no need for expensive tooling or large production runs.
Highly customizable: Parts can be tailored to any design or requirement.
Convenient for startups and small businesses: Perfect for startups and small businesses to prototype, test, and validate products before scaling.

How does Norck fabricate custom plastic parts?

There are several manufacturing processes Norck follows to produce custom plastic parts. These processes can be divided into three broad categories:

1. Additive manufacturing

• Plastic 3D Printing: It is a process used to produce custom parts by printing layers of plastic materials. Plastic 3D Printing uses multiple methods to create custom plastic parts, and it is evolving. At Norck, we offer numerous 3D printing methods, such as FDM, SLA, SLS, Polyjet, Carbon DLS, and HP multijet fusion.

Fused Deposition Modeling

Stereolithography

Polyjet

Selective lasersintering

• Used plastic materials include:
-  ABS Like (resin)
-  PC Like (resin)
-  PP
-  PP Like (resin)
-  Nylon
-  Silicone
-  TPU

• Application: It is mainly used in the earliest stages of product development and can be used in conceptual models, functional prototypes, tooling, electronics, jewelry, and medical industries.

• Advantages and disadvantages:
+ Cost-effective process with a vast choice of plastic and elastomeric materials
- Weaker results compared to other plastic manufacturing processes.

2. Subtractive manufacturing

• CNC machining: CNC machining (Computer Numerical Controlled machining) designates a process that uses a computer to control the trajectory of the machining tool. It employs many machining techniques, such as milling, drilling, and cutting.

Taping

Counterboring

Countersinking

• CNC Turning: This method uses a lathe to turn workpieces at high speeds and a tool with a special shape to remove layers of material from the workpiece. The workpiece shape is generally revolutionary. If the workpiece is long enough, an extra part is used to support the weight of the workpiece.

Longitudinal turning

Facing

Forming

• CNC Milling: Milling is a process that uses a rotating tool to remove material from the fixed workpiece. There are two types of milling, horizontal and vertical milling.

End milling

Horizontal milling

Vertical milling

• Used materials are:

• CPVC
• HDPE
• LDPE
• PC
• PP
• PVC
• PS
• PEI
• PET
• PMMA
• PTFE
• PS
• Nylon

• Applications of subtractive manufacturing: It is widely used in various sectors such as Aerospace, automotive, medical, and oil and gas. It makes gears, jigs and fixtures, and elastomer seals.

• Advantages and disadvantages:
+ Accurate process with lower fabrication costs
- Manufacturabilité is limited to simple shape

3. Formative manufacturing

• Injection molding: In injection molding, molten plastic pellets are fed into a mold cavity under high pressure. After the plastic solidifies, the mold is opened, and the part is ejected. Mold is made from hardened steel and contains the shape of the part to be molded. The Injection molding process is used for high and medium-volume production.

Injection molding

• Urethane Casting: Urethane Casting is a plastic molding process used to duplicate a master component submerged into liquid silicone. After the silicone mold solidifies, it is opened, and the master part is extracted. The mold is closed and injected with urethane, then gets heated to harden the urethane and extracted. Urethane Casting is used for low-volume production.

Urethane Casting

• Liquid silicone rubber molding: It is a rubber molding process that injects silicone and color into a mold, which is heated to solidify, then the part gets ejected. The mold is made from hardened steel and contains the body of the part to be molded. The liquid silicone rubber molding process is used for high and medium-volume production.

• Application: It is widely used in various sectors such as Aerospace, automotive, medical, oil, and gas. It is used to make enclosures, handles, switches, jigs, and fixtures, electronics.

• Advantages and disadvantages:
+ Accurate process with a vast choice of materials and colors
+ lower fabrication costs
- High cost of tooling and often long cycle time

• Waterjet, laser, and plasma cutting: It is a set of cutting methods that use heat or water to cut through almost any type of material to produce a part or product.
