Milling and embossing

GRAVIC uses 3D milling

Compared with other techniques of cutting with tools, milling can be used to cut out 3D forms from thicker materials. This may include cracks, flat spots, cavities and complex contour forms.
Thanks to this milling technology, we are able to cut solid synthetic materials, or foams such as plexiglas (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), PVC, polyester (PET), HIPS, polystyrene (ABS), polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), layers of composite panels (Dibond, HPL veneer), and even aluminium.
Digital controls combined with a single, high-quality drive ensure unrivaled manufacturing quality. The manufactured parts are characterised by great precision and repetition of perfect forms.

Milling can be used:
• to cut parts into all forms,
• to shape the edges of parts,
• very precise work,
• repetition of sizes and forms,
• high production speed,
• optimal use of materials,
• for making cracking and recesses,
• for punching holes,
• high-quality edges without the need for finish.

Technical parameters:
Maximum size of the product: 1200 mm x 2500 mm
Vertical working distance: 150 mm
Precision: ± 0,05 mm

GRAVIC uses
buffing of plexiglas

We produce various types of PMMA products with surfaces that must be as glossy as possible. The requirements of our clients are satisfied through polishing of cut edges or functional surfaces on products.

GRAVIC uses cold embossing

We can use our cold-forming tool in flexible ways in most of our manufacturing processes to increase the functionality of certain products. The technology does not transfer heat to the raw materials, which allows us to use plastic materials at a low melting point.

Capacities:
• PET has an unlimited life span
• PC has a limited life span
• Varied forms (buttons, braille, etc.)

GRAVIC uses hot embossing

We are able to integrate a heated embossing tool into most of our manufacturing processes to increase the durability of layered products. When embossed products are subject to significant constraints, we recommend applying hot embossing instead of cold embossing. The advantage of hot embossing is that it reduces the mechanical constraints on the materials, due to stretching.

Capacities:
• PET has an unlimited life span
• PC has a limited life span
• Varied forms (buttons, braille, etc.)
