Thick Sheet Thermoforming

Thick sheet thermoforming is used for larger size parts for applications that cannot absorb high tooling cost. AkzoNobel films are laminated to a plastic sheet, which is then shaped by thermoforming using heat, vacuum, and often pressure. After forming, the part area is trimmed out. The finished part is then ready to be installed.


Features and benefits

  • Mainly used for larger plastic parts
  • Low investment compared to injection molding
  • Many substrate plastics can be used including ABS, PC, PMMA, TPO and PETG
