On-Demand Prototyping & Batch Production for Industrial Plastic Components
For more than 55 years, IPFL has supported engineers with high-performance industrial plastics, turning bold ideas into bespoke, precise and high-performing plastic components. Our in-house blend of micro-resolution 3D printing, industrial additive manufacturing, multi-axis CNC machining and specialist plastic fabrication means you can move seamlessly from prototype to production—without compromising on accuracy, material performance or speed.
3-, 4- & 5-Axis CNC milling, turning and routing | Laser cutting, line-bending, diffusion & laser welding, chemical and UV bonding | Tight-tolerance manifolds, clear fluidic housings, precision stents and custom connectors produced in quantities from one-off to volume
SLA High-Resolution for transparent or biocompatible prototypes | HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) for strong, isotropic nylon production and bespoke plastic parts | Stratasys PolyJet multi-material builds with shore-A flexibility and over-mould simulation | High-Performance FDM in Ultem™, PC, Nylon-CF & more for aerospace-grade strength, ideal for bespoke and precision plastic fabrication
2 µm & 10 µm resolution BMF Projection Micro-Stereolithography | Perfect for microfluidic chips, microneedle arrays, MEMS, micro-gears and optical components | Ultra-smooth surfaces, crisp edges and repeatable features under 50 µm—ideal for life-science and electronics innovators
IPFL manufacture precision plastic microfluidic devices using materials such as COC, Ultem (PEI), acrylic (PMMA), and polycarbonate. Using diffusion bonding techniques, multiple layers can be permanently fused together without solvents or adhesives, creating sealed microchannels while maintaining material properties and dimensional accuracy. This approach is well suited to lab-on-a-chip systems, analytical devices, and fluid control manifolds where chemical resistance, optical access, and reliable sealing are critical.
