About MELA Kunststofftechnik
MELA Kunststofftechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of custom-made parts and products from plastics, founded in Kassel in 2007. The company produces one-off items and series products with modern CNC milling technology on two CNC milling machines with working areas of 2 × 3 m and 2 × 1.60 m. In addition, MELA offers laser cutting and laser engraving (working area 1.3 × 1 m), a cut-to-size service with polished, facetted edges or saw cuts including drilled holes, bonding with special adhesives, polishing of sheets up to three metres in length on a diamond polishing mill, and heat-wire bending of sheets up to three metres. Materials processed include acrylic glass (Plexiglas/PMMA), polycarbonate (Makrolon) and rigid foam. Customers come from laboratory technology and medicine, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, shopfitting and trade fair construction. The product range includes laboratory supplies such as electrophoresis chambers including accessories and repair, mechanical engineering parts, radiation protection shields as well as prefabricated blanks via an online shop and a remnants exchange.
