CNC Routing and Cutting
ShapesPlastics proudly offers state-of-the-art CNC Precision Cutting services. This cost-effective and accurate technology boasts numerous advantages over traditional machining methods, including tight tolerances, exceptionally smooth surface finishes, scalability, and the speed necessary for high-volume production.
With an extensive network of both in-house and partner facilities, ShapesPlastics is capable of providing CNC routing services. Our process is tailored to specific material profiles, utilizing precision camera-guided routing to achieve superior edge quality, accuracy, and consistency while minimizing waste and lead times.
Plastic Edge Finishing and Polishing
After cutting plastic sheets to size, the rough saw-cut edges can be refined into smooth edges through various finishing techniques, such as diamond polishing and flame polishing. The level of finishing required will depend on the type of polishing compounds used on the machined edges; different materials necessitate different techniques to achieve a smooth, transparent edge that resists crazing. This service is ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and commercial clients, as it significantly reduces the time and costs associated with material machining.
Diamond polishing enhances edge luster and is often paired with a buffing process, completed after polishing for a higher-quality, polished finish.

When working with stress-sensitive materials like acrylic sheets, flame polishing requires expertise to prevent breaking or cracking the plastic. When done correctly, flame polishing produces a flawless finish efficiently.
Drilling Services
For smaller orders, we offer drill press services for creating holes in various materials with precision. This means drilling at exact angles, typically ninety degrees, with identical size, depth, and position. For larger quantities, routing services are recommended.
Rounded Edge vs Radius Corner
A radius corner refers to rounded corners on the sheet, providing smoother, more arch-like edges. This design is especially beneficial in high-traffic areas to prevent accidents associated with sharp corners. Standard radius corners at ShapesPlastics range from ½ inch to ¾ inch. A rounded edge entails rounding both the top and bottom surfaces of the plastic sheet, also known as 'round over,' making it a popular choice for desks and countertops.
