CNC Routing

Display Developments has invested heavily in its machining facilities, from basic panel cutting, turning and milling, to state of the art CNC routing and drilling. Our experienced personnel and jig design capabilities ensure that all items are manufactured to consistently high standards and exacting tolerances.

With the introduction of two 3000 x 1550mm multi-tool changing CNC routers, capacity and flexibility have been substatially enhanced enabling us to meet our varied customers needs whilst maintaining a competitive edge.

Polishing

To meet the requirements of our clients and to give a high quality finish to end products, the majority of items made by Display Developments go through a polishing process. This is traditionally carried out by means of power buffing or flame polishing. However, we are one of the few companies in the UK who are also able to offer state-of-the-art semi-automatic diamond polishing on machines we helped to develop. Polishing methods include:

• Diamond Edge polishing (High gloss or matt finish)
• Buff polishing
• Flame polishing
• CNC polishing

Gluing

Assembly is critical to the manufacturing process and often includes cementing or bonding (or in the case of engineering plastics, hot air welding). Our own on-going research programme into cements, adhesives and how best to apply them, ensures that we are continually leading the way in this field.

UV Curing

Driven by our clients 'wishes for the clinical' looking clear joint where glue overspill and bubbling are non-desirables, we have invested substantially into specialist UV Curing Technology to help persue this goal. This has helped maintain Display Developments position at the forefront of plastic fabrication in the UK.

Assembly

Display Developments offer a 'one stop shop' approach to display fabrication and forming. We assemble many metal and wooden components into both our TRIM display range and bespoke projects. These items may include, but are not limited to:

• MDF Plinths and bases
• Wheels and castors
• Locks
• Hinges
• Runners etc.

In addition to this, we are able to produce complex display items in flat pack form to ensure safe and cost effective shipping of product for on site assembly. Using Tappex™ technology, we are able to mechanically fix items without using adhesives and cements.
