Replace the missing plastic part with one that fits.
A cover is missing, a bracket no longer fits or a connection geometry is unavailable as a standard part. FORMACT manufactures custom plastic replacement parts and special components from existing data or clear specifications.
Made to suit your task. With CAD data or a description of your requirements.
Function and installation site set the direction.
A replacement part involves more than its visible outer shape. Mounting, adjacent parts and its operating role determine which details need retaining or adapting. A task description with photos and dimensions helps capture these relationships. If an existing part serves as a template, we agree on which geometries can be reliably specified for reproduction.
Cover for an existing installation position
A lid receives suitable mounting points, clearances for connections and the required contour. Its specification follows the available space and the cover's purpose.
Custom accessory holder
A custom-shaped holder accommodates a tool, control or accessory at an existing station. Connection dimensions and the desired removal direction are coordinated.
Adapted replacement part
An existing plastic part provides the starting point for a new variant. Different cable routing, an accessible screw point or a changed connection contour can be incorporated directly.
What the right geometry changes.
Understand the actual task
We consider contact surfaces, mounting and installation together. This clarifies which features the new part really needs.
Enable custom geometries
Non-standard dimensions and special connection shapes can be represented in their own dataset. You can also enquire about single parts.
A clear basis for further parts
Agreed CAD data and a clear variant name support future repeat orders or targeted modifications to the same component.
Start with existing data or a specific description.
We check and edit existing 3D data and undertake simple new designs to clear specifications. Specialist partners can support more complex geometry capture or development tasks. Threaded inserts, screws, magnets or protective pads can be added to simple assemblies as an agreed part of the scope.
- Geometry, connection dimensions and required quantity
- Part function and conditions at the installation site
- Desired changes from the previous component
Choose the material from the function.
The material is selected to suit the new part's function. We consider contact surfaces, loads, temperature and the installation environment.

Manufacturing for the contour and intended use.
FDM is a starting point for many replacement brackets, covers and technical plastic parts. Resin can suit small components with fine shape details. We agree on the process according to assembly, contact-surface and load requirements.
Which part are you missing?
Show us the part or its installation space and describe its function. CAD files, drawings, photos and dimensioned sketches help us assess it. You can also send an initial enquiry without a file.
Enquire about your custom partGeometry, function and specification follow your task. A description is enough for an initial enquiry; you can add any existing files.
