REACH OUT TO US
Controlled Fluidics provides micro-machining of high performance plastics at sub-milimiter scales holding critical features to ±0.0005 in (0.0127 mm) tolerances for complex plastic components used in medical devices, diagnostics, microfluidics, advanced electronics and semiconductor applications. Our plastics-only facilities support tight-tolerance micro parts where size, precisoin and reliability are paramount.
We redefine precision in micro machining
Our innovative and established micro machining capabilities enable us to achieve minimum feature sizes down to 0.01 in / 0.254 mm and typical tolerances to ±0.0005 in (0.0127 mm).
We support micro-machining with select thermoplastics and engineering polymers like acrylic, PC, COC, PEEK, and UHMW among several others.
We handle a broad range of volumes for our micromachining services from prototyping that expects to scale in the near future all up to larger volumes. wE also assemble those micro parts into larger systems while adhearing to our several QA/QC registrations and certifications.
Your Design. Our Expetrise.
While several industries do benefit from micro machining, we find the following have the most use for such parts.
A diagnostics OEM needed a micro-machined acrylic microfluidic plate to integrate into a benchtop immunoassay instrument. The design needed sub-milimeter channels and intersecting features with depths <0.010 in plus tight positional tolerances to ensure reliable fluid routing and optical readout. By using dedicated plastics-only micro machinig with 5-axis CNC and optimied toolpaths, the plate was produced with channels widths held to within ±0.0005 in and optical-grade surfaces in critical detection regions. This allowed the customer to shorten assay cycle times, improve signal consistency and move from hand-assembled prototypes to a reapeatable, production=ready diagnostic cartridge.
Tailored Solutions for Highly Regualted Industries We have deep experience delivering precision plastic components for aerospace, medical, life sciences and research programs. We utilize our experience to support the production of mission-critical instruments and advanced OEM systems. | Advanced Technology for the Best Precision We leverage 5- to 7- axis CNC systems and advanced plastics-only machining technologies to produce complex geometries, tight-tolerance features and high-aspect-ratio micro details that are difficult to achieve with conventional equipment. |
Quality Guarantee Systems Quality is one of our tenants in business. We implement rigorous quality control measures throughout the entire production process, adhearing to ISO:9001, ANSI/ASQ Z 1.4 and ANSI/NCSL Z 540-1-1994 standards. | Design Support & DFM for Micro-Parts Our team provides design support and DFM for micro-scale plastic components so you are not on your own after handing off a print. We collaborate with your engineers on part geometry, material selection and tolerancing to ensure features are both manufacturable and robust at sub-milimeter scales. You move from concept to reliable production faster. |
No Guesswork. Just Accurate Quotes.
