**Plexiglass fabrication** is an interesting process. There are currently thousands of "products fabricated":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=114 with plastics. Extrusion, molding, thermoforming, machining, vacuum forming, strip heat bending, milling, drilling, cutting, and polishing are the different ways that plexiglass can be fabricated. Polishing is accomplished by using a torch or a cloth buffer. Plexiglass can also be attached to other plexiglass pieces using solvent adhesives or mechanical fasteners. These methods of fabricating plexiglass are always evolving. Different techniques are used. The fabrication techniques and methods employed depend on the environment and application of the finished products. Customer specifications and quantities to be produced are also important variables. Our customers rely on our vast experience and expertise to fabricate their product at the best cost, quality, and look. Plexiglass fabricators are cropping up more around the world due to increasing demand for plastic products. Plexiglass can be fabricated in the following ways:
1. **Extrusion**
In the extrusion process, melted plastic is pushed through a nozzle to make long lengths of special shapes like tubing. It is also used to create strands, and joining strips for wallboard. Thick plexiglass sheets are also often created this way.
2. **Blow Extrusion**
Blow Extrusion is primarily used for making plastic films and bags. While the plastic is still hot, a tube is inflates the film with compressed air, much like a balloon. At the end of the rollers pinch together the end, which seals the air in and flattens the material. Garbage bags are made in this fashion.
3. "Injection Molding":http://www.akrylix.com/preview.php?photo=59
With injection molding, melted plastic is pumped into a mold. This process is best suited in the production of large quantities of identical parts. Many every day items from clothes hampers to screwdriver handles are made with injection molding.
4. **Blow Molding**
A conservative amount of soft plastic is forced into the end of a mold with compressed air. The compressed air creates a bubble inside. The plastic is forced to the walls of the mold, filling up the mold. Most plastic pop bottles and infant?s toys are fabricated in this way.
5. **Rotational Molding**
Water barrels and tanks are the most common product fabricated using rotational molding. A mold is partially filled with a powdered plastic. Then the mold is rotated over a big gas burner inside an oven-like device. As the plastic heats up, it sticks to the walls of the mold.
6. **Compression Molding**
Compression molding is used for producing thermoset resin products. *Plexiglass* is not a thermoset plastic. The thermoset resin is placed into a mold under pressure and heated. The pressure and heat is what cures the plastic into the shape of the mold.
7. **Reaction Injection Molding**
This process is based on chemical reaction. Compounds are mixed and sprayed into a mold. The chemical reaction that results will creates a plastic material. Car bumpers are made in this way.
8. **Vacuum Forming**
Vacuum forming is a process that takes a sheet of plastic and places it in a frame above a heating element until it is soft. The sheet within the frame is then placed above a mold that has tiny holes in it, which suck the plastic sheet down around the mold. Products produced this way include the inside of refrigerators, bath and hand-basins, packaging for cosmetics, chocolates, biscuits, some yogurt containers and some disposable cups.

4. ACRYLIC FABRICATIONAcrylic fabrication is extremely useful. There are countless products fabricated with acrylics. Extrusion, molding, thermoforming, machining, vacuum forming, strip heat bending, milling, drilling, cutting, and polishing are the different ways that acrylic can be fabricated. Polishing acrylic is done by using a torch or a cloth buffer. Acrylic can also be bonded to other acrylic pieces using solvent adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The methods of fabrication depend on the environment and application of the finished products. The customer?s requirements and the number of pieces to be produced are also important factors. Customers that come to us, rely on our years of experience to create products of the highest quality and best cost. Due to the increase in demand, there have been more and more acrylic fabricators entering the market. Acrylic can be fabricated in the following ways:
1. Extrusion
During the extrusion process, melted plastic is squeezed through an orifice to make continuous lengths of special shapes such as tubing. Thick acrylic sheets are also often created this way.
2. Blow Extrusion
Blow Extrusion is primarily used for making bag-like containers and films. While the plastic is still at a high temperature, a nozzle is used to inflate the film with compressed air. Rollers then pinch the ends together to seal and flatten the material. This is the way kitchen garbage bags are made.
3. Injection Molding
With injection molding, melted acrylic is squeezed into a mold. Injection molding is ideally suited for mass production of identical parts. Injection molding is one of the most common methods used for making screwdriver handles and clothes baskets.
4. Blow Molding
In blow molding, compressed air is shot into the end of a mold which has a small amount of heated plastic at the end. A bubble of plastic is created inside the mold, which presses the plastic against the mold walls. Plastic pop bottles and infant?s toys are often made in this way.
5. Rotational Molding
Rotational molding is often used to make products such as plastic footballs and other children?s toys. A calculated amount of powdered plastic is placed inside a split mold. The mold is then spun over heating elements. The melted plastic is forced toward the walls of the mold, and once cool, retain the shape of the mold.
6. Reaction Injection Molding
This type of process is based on a chemical reaction. Different chemical ingredients are mixed and sprayed into a mold. The reaction that results forms a plastic. This is how automobile bumpers are formed.
7. Vacuum Forming
In vacuum forming, thin, sheet material is clamped into a frame, much like a picture frame. The frame is then placed above heating elements and until the plastic is soft. The frame is then moved over a mold that has tiny holes in it. Vacuum is applied which sucks the plastic sheet down around the mold. Some product examples would be refrigerator linings, bathroom sink basins, and some disposable cups.
