| The accelerated use of plastics by many industries is
a result of the tremendous design advantages inherent
in specific plastics. Aerospace, electronics, and medical/electronics
companies are some of those we serve that are beginning
to take full advantage of the various plastics. These
industries demand that their suppliers be unquestionably
qualified to work in all plastic materials. That is
precisely why Space Age Plastic Fabricators is often
chosen to perform complex fabrication projects for discerning
clients. Our pride of workmanship... our dedication
to detail... our technical capabilities... all are equally
responsible for our steady growth in a strongly competitive
business.
 In 1971 we
purchased our first N/C machine tool. It was a two axis,
point-to-point retrofit and very limited by today's
standards. Even then we saw that the future of our business
would depend heavily on this type of equipment. We have
recently purchased many new major machine tools and
computer systems to improve our ability to hold closer
tolerances and speed up operations as industry demands
change. We have, at the present time, a total of ten
N/C and CNC milling and turning centers. We will continue
to purchase new and innovative equipment in order to
ensure our ever-growing capabilities and leadership
in our industry.
A process we excel in is an area most other shops are
unaware of. This process is called annealing. We have
automatic, cam-operated forced air ovens to bring each
material to its most stress-free state. Most of these
annealing cycles can take up to twenty-three hours.
They are usually done overnight so the materials will
be ready for machining the next day. It is common for
us to anneal particular parts three or four times during
critical machining operations.
