Thermoforming

Bent and moulded plastic products

With thermoforming, thermoplastic is first heated to its forming temperature and the desired shape is then produced with a mould. Thermoforming is typically used to produce small batches, from single pieces to runs of a few hundred items.

Thermoforming encompasses a number of methods, for the production of diverse plastic parts. With thermoforming, the desired shape can be achieved by heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable and then bending it or shaping it in a mould.

For best results, the production method should be selected during the product’s design stage. Our staff are happy to help you determine the most appropriate thermoforming method for your product.
