Optical Prototypes With Precision CNC Machining
Machining Acrylic & Hand Polishing
- Embrace the brilliance of CNC machined clear plastic using acrylic (PMMA) – the ultimate choice for impeccable surface finish. Our precision machining and acrylic polishing techniques guarantee unmatched clarity and light transmittance. As a distinguished prototype manufacturer, we take great pride in our advanced excellence, crafting flawless acrylic prototypes for optical components. Join us on a journey of innovation and experience the highest level of clarity and quality in your prototypes.
Machining PC & Vapor Polishing
- Polycarbonate (PC) emerges as a top contender for CNC machining among transparent plastics. Its impressive transparency rivals acrylic, while its exceptional strength sets it apart. Elevate your PC parts with our cutting-edge vapor polishing for impeccable post-finishing. At Kevo, we take pride in offering a seamless combination of transparency and strength through our advanced CNC machining and expert vapor polishing techniques. Discover the true potential of your prototypes with us.
Short Runs Casting Clear Prototypes
Unlock the potential of urethane vacuum casting for swift and cost-effective creation of transparent plastic prototypes in small quantities. At WayKen, we excel in producing optically clear parts, starting with CNC machined and highly polished acrylic masters for impeccable surface finish. Our precision machined masters ensure the finest optical pattern details, while the right casting process and carefully selected silicone and polyurethane materials guarantee exceptional results.
We take great care in choosing and applying release agents to avoid tackiness and surface defects. Utilizing the overmolding process, we achieve single urethane parts with two-color or two-component properties. Typically, 12-15 clear copies, or even up to 20 copies per mold (depending on complexity), can be produced. When needed, we can deliver more than 20 clear parts in just two weeks or less, depending on the structure and volume.
With KEVO’s expertise, your prototypes will come to life with precision and speed, making your vision a reality in no time.
Injection Molded Clear Parts For Low Volume
Rapid injection molding enables the utilization of anticipated production materials and final production technology for clear plastic components. It is possible to attain Class A surface finishes when manufacturing injection molded optical components and transparent parts using materials such as PMMA and PC.
Whether you require as few as 100 or more than 10,000 clear plastic parts for testing low volume production runs, we possess the expertise and experience in creating rapid aluminum tooling. This results in reduced tooling expenses and expedited production changeovers.
