Advanced Plastic Engineering
Where Ideas Take Shape
Pexco’s Advanced Plastic Engineering division provides the technical infrastructure for manufacturing complex plastic components across North America. With 6 in-house tool and die centers, proprietary vacuum calibration systems, advanced metrology capabilities, and comprehensive design engineering services, we engineer solutions from initial concept through high-volume production.
Our engineering capabilities deliver the technical precision required for demanding applications in aerospace, medical devices, semiconductor equipment, and industrial systems.
Engineering Capabilities
Vacuum Calibration Technology
Precision dimensional control for large-scale and complex extruded profiles. Our house-built vacuum calibration systems deliver exceptional tolerances and repeatability for profiles up to 30″+ wide, including multi-chamber hollow cross-sections that cannot be achieved through conventional sizing methods.
Industrial CT Scanning & Metrology
Non-destructive 3D analysis using Zeiss metrology equipment. Industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning provides complete dimensional validation, internal structure inspection, and quality verification without destructive testing—critical for complex geometries, tight tolerances, and internal features.
In-House Tooling & Die Manufacturing
Six dedicated tool and die centers across North America eliminate outsourcing delays and maintain direct control over extrusion dies, injection molds, and compression molds. Proprietary tooling designs, rapid modifications, and decades of manufacturing experience translated into optimized tool platforms.
Design Engineering Services
Comprehensive technical support from concept through production. Our engineering teams specialize in material selection, CAD modeling, design for manufacturability (DFM), and process optimization across 500+ plastic resins including ultra-high-performance thermoplastics and fluoropolymers.
