In order to provide our customers with complete solutions for their engineering and production needs, we are pleased to offer in-house precision CNC machine shop services. Our state-of-the-art equipment can be put to work for you to build prototypes or production runs of all types of plastic components.
At Boedeker Plastics, we are committed to providing high quality machined parts, built to your specifications, delivered when and where you need them, at a fair price. It is our desire to build a relationship with your company that will last for many years to come. Whether small quantity prototype parts or large production volume orders, your order will be given the attention and priority you deserve.
Since our founding day, we've always put the needs of our customers first. We are a performance company. We move to meet each customer's requirement as soon as an order is placed. Our machine shop was created to fill a need that we saw in the industry - the need for quality machined parts, provided quickly and at a fair price. We machine only plastics and we specialize in high-performance plastics.
Though it is not our desire to take business from other established machine shops, we intend to serve a market niche by providing the very best plastic machined parts within the timeframe that our customers require. Our quality assurance system guarantees that parts are within tolerance and our on-time delivery rate is unsurpassed in the industry. Give us a try!

Electronic File Transfer Specifications Many of our customers prefer to transmit drawing files electronically to ensure accuracy. Our machine shop uses MasterCAM software for component drawings and CAM machine equipment file generation. MasterCAM accepts many file formats, but here's a list of files our customers commonly provide:
- .SLDPRT & .SLDDRW formats (SolidWorks 3D model & 2D drawing)
- .STEP & .STP format (generic 3D model)
- .SAT format (AutoCAD 3D model)
- .PRT.# format (Pro/Engineer 3D part file)
- .DRW format (Pro/Engineer drawing file)
- .ASM format (Pro/Engineer assembly file)
- .DXF format (generic 3D AutoCAD or 2D AutoCAD drawing with views)
- .IGES & .IGS format (generic CAD format)
- .STL format (standard 3D file for rapid prototyping only)
- .ZIP format (compressed files containing any of the above formats)
FTP: (preferred) Files may be uploaded using any web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera) to our FTP Center. Go there using this link: http://www.boedeker.com/ftp/ NOTE: .ZIP format (compressed files) are preferred for large or multiple files.
E-MAIL: Files may be supplied via e-mail by attaching them to messages sent to our Internet e-mail address of info@boedeker.com. NOTE: .ZIP format (compressed files) are preferred for large or multiple files.
DISK: Please send only clearly labeled IBM-compatible diskettes (1.44Mb HD 3½ inch format) -OR- IBM-compatible CD-R, CD-RW or DVD disks.
FAX: Our FAX number is 1-361-594-2349. Be sure to transmit in high-resolution mode for maximum detail & contrast.
For all parts orders, please always follow up any electronic transfers by mailing high-quality copies of drawings to ensure accuracy and design revision traceability.
