The TriStar advantage means we have a comprehensive circle of services that include:
我们都the resources you need, when you need them. No more cobbling together separate sources to get the job done. We have it right here for you… In-house.
We can assist you with everything from engineering advice to building your prototypes. And when it comes to material selection, we have one of the widest selections of products available today.
Most of our competitors provide just one area of service, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find another company that offers a complete circle of services… from education to production.
Your in-house plastics engineering department.
Helping to choose the right design and materials.
Building components for your evaluation.
Delivering Superior Quality at a competitive price.
Our technical staff is dedicated to helping you choose the right material and component geometry for your application. Our customers benefit from our ongoing research of the latest products, as well as our design experience in thousands of applications forover 70 industries. In fact, very few, if any, of our competitors have dedicated degreed plastics engineers, chemists, or polymer scientists on staff.
From our in-house engineers assisting you with your application to a member of our technical team visiting your facility and conducting seminars to educate your staff on how and when to use the right material, our goal is clear: to become your in-house plastics engineering department.
Key Services:Material ID/research, CAD/CAM services, component geometry, calculating PV, on-site technical seminars
TriStar excels in customplastic fabricationfrom prototype to production.
Our state-of-the-art fabrication facility features the latest in CNC machines – from small diameter Swiss screw machines to large diameter CNC turning centers and large capacity CNC milling centers. All of our machinists and quality control technicians are highly trained in the art of machining plastics, making sure your parts are right the first time, every time.
By working as a team, our manufacturing engineers and machinists see to the design of the right tools for every job. We also process all fixtures and tooling in-house to increase quality and minimize lead-time.
Key Services:CNC Turning, fabrication, CNC milling
Manufacturing bearings and bearing materials allows us to offer custom blends and unique sizes that others simply can’t. Producing our own materials in-house enables us to implement your designs on time, and on budget, giving you a strategic advantage over your competitors.
