At Acrylic Art, we offer superior plastic fabrication services. As specialists in close tolerance plastics fabrication and machining, our success rests not only upon craftsmanship, but our ability to understand you and your client’s technical and design needs. Of course there are many companies who can fabricate or machine plastics, but we are considered experts in combining these two practices and are known in the industry for our technical know how.
With the ability to operate on materials measuring between .03” and four inches thick, we handle a broad variety of conventional to high performance plastics. Our skilled fabricators and machinists execute a variety of operations including cutting, heat bending, solvent welding, polishing, CNC precision machining, and hardware assembly. We offer short to long run production capabilities, plus excellent in-house design and prototyping services.
A significant part of our business is dedicated to the medical device, biotech, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor communities, and it runs deep. In addition, our clients include some of the top interior design and architectural firms on the West Coast. Acrylic Art’s scope of work extends to leading edge design projects for Healthcare, retail environments, POP, branding, exhibit, and museum spaces.
