Design Consultation, Engineering, & Production

CAD modelling of components and assemblies

Proofing to design a part doesn’t have to be a complicated process. We can take a simple sketch through to concept and create a 3D drawing of the part. This design can be easily modified as the project evolves. If you have a basic CAD model or design, we can analyze the part, make recommendations and come up with a final design to best suit your project needs.

3D Printing

Efficient Part Fabrication

3D Printing can speed up the prototyping of sample parts and assist with the building of modular parts to bolt onto prototyping moulds. Our 3D printing capabilities can fabricate complex components with a wide variety of materials and precise features.

Assembly

We can assist in assembling and integrating the part into a greater design by gluing, welding, drilling, cutting, fastening, perforating or machining any other modification you may need to complete the final assembly of your project.

Prototype / Mould Production

Your Specifications, Done Right

The next step is to create the moulds, cooling and trim fixture tooling that will allow us to produce your finished parts. IHT offers a wide range of moulds and tooling options from particle board, epoxy, cast and temperature-controlled aluminum tools. Each design will account for the complexity of the part and expected service life based on the needs of your application.

Thermoforming

Large and Small Scale Vacuum Forming

We offer plastics in varying thicknesses, .020”-.5”, a variety of colour options, surface textures and specialty materials to meet your specific parts requirements. Our double-sided VF machine can accommodate large parts up to 48” x 96” with a 40” draw.

Routing

IPC’s CNC routers are used to ensure repeated accuracy regardless of how complicated your custom parts trim configurations are.

Sawing

We can saw cut custom-sized sheets for die cutting and piecing together custom acrylic shields.

Shearing

We can cut 12’ x 10’ x 0.25” plastic sheets with a tolerance of +/- 0.005”.

Bending

Forming Complex Acrylic Parts

ICP wire heated tables can produce parts with simultaneous bends, up to 8 feet in length. Provide us with information on your shielding needs and we can come up with a suitable design.

Plastic Bonding and Welding

We have years of experience in bonding plastics with a wide variety of applications requiring the use of adhesives. Our team will find a suitable adhesive based on the type of your custom part.

Some parts can benefit from the extra stability of a plastic welded seam or joint to maximize the strength of the bond. If your part has holes or damage on the surface, we can fill your part with a compatible material and colour to ensure the repair has a seamless finish.

Material Recycling- Plastic Chipping / Re-Grind

Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

By efficiently designing our parts to minimize waste and recycling our scrap materials, we divert thousands of pounds of waste material from making its way into landfills. We separate each type of plastic before processing the material; regrinding to optimize the purity of the recycled material shipped back to our sheet extruders.
