We check your resin, wall thickness, geometry, and any inserts. The plastic and the part design tell us which treatment is needed and how to set the cycle.
Parts are loaded into a controlled oven and brought up to the right temperature for the resin. ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, and acetal each have their own target ranges. Parts hold at temperature long enough for stress to release.
Parts cool slowly in the oven on a set schedule. Fast cooling locks stress back in, so the cool-down is just as important as the heat-up.
For nylon and other hygroscopic resins, parts are conditioned in a humidity chamber or warm water bath until they reach a stable moisture content. This locks in the size and feel before the part ships.
Parts are checked for warpage, dimensions, and surface condition. From there, they move on to assembly, packaging, or shipment.
