TSI Plastics uses technically advanced equipment and processes. Most tools and programs are created internally, utilizing computer-assisted design and sophisticated EDM machines.
Our state of the art equipment gives us the ability to machine your part to the finest detail of the necessary specifications for your project. Work that requires extremely close tolerances, down to +- 0.0005 calls for Precision CNC Machining. This level of precision requires not only sophisticated equipment but also experienced specialists in programming, fixture design and development.
