CNC Machining
At the core of Replex Plastics’ success is custom engineering solutions specifically tailored to each and every customer. Using the latest in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, both two and three-dimensional parts can quickly and easily be designed, tooled-up and ready for production. Combining CAD with a Computer Aided Manufacturing System (CAM), precision tolerances in tool design and production parts can be maintained.
Replex Plastics is now capable of advanced part and tool analysis. Beginning with a part or assembly model in SolidWorks ®, the structural, thermal and optical performance can be evaluated. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks® Simulation Professional can quickly and accurately identify thermal or structural problem areas in a part and suggest solutions. The optical performance of a part can be assessed using TracePro® ray tracing software, which simulates the path of light as it interacts with materials and surfaces. TracePro® is also capable of simulating solar radiation for solar or daylighting applications.
