Why choose Custom Manufacturing?

Custom manufacturing provides components built to your exact specifications - ensuring a precise fit, reliable performance, and full compatibility with your application. Unlike standard parts, custom solutions allow for the right material, geometry, and tolerances from the start. This is especially beneficial for large-scale projects where consistency across every unit is critical, helping to reduce errors, streamline production, and maintain high quality throughout.

CNC Machining
CNC machining offers precise, repeatable manufacturing for complex parts with tight tolerances. Ideal for high-performance polymers, it ensures accuracy, consistency, and a high-quality finish across both prototypes and production runs.
Injection Molding
Injection molding is a cost-effective solution for producing high volumes of complex polymer parts with excellent repeatability. It delivers consistent quality, tight tolerances, and efficient cycle times - ideal for large production runs where precision and uniformity are essential.

The Process

UPE Key Properties

Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UPE) is renowned for its exceptional wear resistance, making it one of the most durable plastics available. Due to its extremely high molecular weight, UPE exhibits excellent resistance to abrasion and surface wear, which makes it ideal for applications involving high friction or repetitive contact. Industries such as mining, material handling, and automotive benefit from UPE’s ability to withstand harsh physical conditions without degrading, ensuring long-lasting performance in components such as conveyor belts, liners, and gears.
Another key property of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UPE) is its outstanding impact resistance. UPE can absorb significant amounts of energy without cracking or breaking, making it highly effective in applications where materials are subject to heavy impacts or sudden forces. This resilience is crucial in industries like construction, sports equipment, and medical devices, where UPE is used in products ranging from protective gear to prosthetic limbs. The material’s ability to withstand impacts without compromising its structural integrity makes it a preferred choice for safety-critical applications.
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UPE) is also distinguished by its low friction and self-lubricating properties, which contribute to its versatility in various mechanical and industrial applications. UPE’s low coefficient of friction reduces the need for external lubricants, minimising maintenance and improving efficiency in moving parts. This makes UPE an excellent material for applications such as sliding bearings, guide rails, and wear strips, where smooth and consistent movement is essential. Additionally, its self-lubricating nature helps reduce wear on both the UPE components and the materials they interact with, further extending the lifespan of equipment.
