30+ years experience
Plastic machining has been our core business for over three decades — and we know how to do it well.
CNC Machining
Plastic machining is what we do best.
Plastic CNC machining is our main operation as a business. With 30+ years of experience and a large fleet of machines running 7 days a week, BEC delivers precision plastic parts at scale.
Built around plastic
Many machine shops handle plastic occasionally. We've spent more than three decades doing it every single day. From one-off prototypes to long production runs, we know how each grade of plastic behaves under tooling — and we machine it to suit.
Our shop floor is filled with CNC machines operated by skilled machinists. Production runs seven days a week, so urgent jobs can be turned around quickly without compromising on quality or finish.
What we machine
- Engineering plastics — acetal, nylon, PEEK, PTFE, UHMWPE
- Clear plastics — acrylic and polycarbonate
- General-purpose plastics — HDPE, PP, PVC
- Prototype, low-volume and production runs
- 3D profiling, drilling, tapping and turning
- Components supplied finished and ready to fit
Large CNC fleet
A wide range of CNC machines under one roof, sized for everything from small precision parts to large fabricated components.
Running 7 days a week
Our operators run the shop floor seven days a week to keep lead times short and deliveries on schedule.
Tight tolerances
CNC machining to engineering tolerances on engineering-grade plastics.
Plastic specialists
We machine plastic every day — feeds, speeds and tooling are dialled in for materials like acetal, nylon, PEEK, HDPE, acrylic and polycarbonate.
Skilled operators
Experienced machinists and programmers who understand how plastic behaves on the machine, not just on paper.
The Process
How CNC machining works
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining removes material from a solid block to create a precise part, following a programmed design.
1
Design
A part is supplied to us in the form of a PDF drawing or 3D model.
2
CAM Programming
Some programming is done through CAM software, where the CAD model or drawing is imported and toolpaths and machining instructions are inputted. Other programming is done conversationally by our operators directly on the machines.
3
Material Setup
A solid block of material — for example black acetal or nylon — is securely clamped into the CNC machine.
4
Machining Process
The CNC machine follows the programmed toolpaths, removing material with rotating cutting tools.
5
Multiple Operations
Different tools and operations — facing, pocketing, drilling, slotting and profiling — shape every feature of the part.
6
Quality Check
The machined part is inspected with precision instruments to ensure it meets the required tolerances and specifications.
7
Finished Part
The final part is complete — clean, accurate and ready for use in your application.
