Polar Industries was a pioneer in the use of CNC
hot-wire fabrication beginning in the early 1980s. Our goal remains the same today,
to engineer simplicity.
Starting with your complex packaging
requirements of OEM production constraints we use our technology and experience to develop
cost effective product that meet your needs.
CNC hot-wire cutting is one of the most basic
techniques for developing custom parts to solve packaging or production problems. A
heated wire is used as the cutting tool when fabricating expanded plastic materials.
The wire is mounted on a frame which is articulated on both X and Y axes. the frame
is driven by motors which are numerically controlled by computer (CNC). The
functioning is very similar to an Etch-a-Sketch(TM)
drawing toy. With simultaneous movement
along both axes the machine can reproduce any curve. This allows for infinite
variation where two dimensional contours are appropriate.
With our networked CAD workstations,
the shop floor has instant access to refined designs and can implement them without any
fixturing or tooling costs.
Years of experience and advanced
technology mean economical, precise and consistent part for your packaging or OEM needs.
