Why Polycarbonate

An Engineering Thermoplastic That Performs Under Pressure

Polycarbonate is the preferred material for components that must withstand physical stress while maintaining a precise appearance. It outperforms standard resins in clarity, toughness, and thermal stability.

Optical Transparency

Up to 90% light transmission with clarity suitable for lenses and light guides.

High Impact Strength

Virtually unbreakable in many applications, ideal for safety and protective gear.

Heat Resistance

Heat deflection from 125°C to 140°C depending on grade selection.

Dimensional Stability

Low shrinkage and high tolerance capability for precision assemblies.

Precision Molding

Engineered Process Control for Demanding Polycarbonate

Manufacturing with polycarbonate requires strict adherence to process parameters. Because PC is hygroscopic, we deploy professional drying systems to prevent moisture-related defects like silver streaks or brittleness.

01

Optical Quality Management

We control mold surface finishes from SPI A-1 mirror polish to textured surfaces, ensuring desired light diffusion or clarity.

02

Tolerance Control ±0.05 mm

Snap-fits and assembly interfaces function correctly upon delivery, with dimensional verification on every batch.

03

Stress Management

Engineering optimizes gate location and cooling cycles to minimize residual stress, preventing warping or stress cracking.

04

Equipment Range 50 – 1,000 Tons

From small intricate optical lenses to large structural equipment covers, our press capacity scales with your part geometry.

Design Support

Engineering Support for Design for Manufacturing

Successful production starts with DFM. Polycarbonate has specific flow characteristics that influence wall thickness and draft angles. We review your 3D models (STEP, STP, X_T) to identify potential issues before tooling begins.

Our DFM review is included at no additional cost with every quoted project, helping you reduce tooling iterations and accelerate time to market.

Our DFM Review Covers

1

Wall Thickness Optimization

Ensuring uniform thickness to prevent sink marks and internal stress.

2

Draft Angle Calculation

Calculating sufficient taper for smooth part ejection without damaging the high-gloss surface.

3

Ribs and Bosses Positioning

Positioning structural reinforcements to maintain strength without causing surface blemishes.

4

Gate Location Strategy

Identifying optimal gate placement to balance flow, weld line control, and cosmetic appearance.

Secondary Operations

Comprehensive Finishing Options

Beyond molding, we provide secondary operations to deliver finished components ready for your assembly line.

Surface Finishing

Painting, coating, or specialized texture application to meet aesthetic requirements.

  • Custom color matching
  • Anti-glare coatings
  • UV-resistant finishes

Assembly

Ultrasonic welding, heat staking, and threaded insert installation for multi-part enclosures.

  • Ultrasonic welding
  • Heat staking
  • Threaded insert pressing

Printing

Pad printing or laser marking for branding, serial numbers, or functional iconography.

  • Pad printing
  • Laser marking
  • Serial number engraving

Process Flow
