Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet, or film when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types, is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that it can be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a finished shape.
Plastics up to .500 thick can be succesfully thermoformed into a variety of basic and complex shapes. Professional Plastics offers a full-line of thermoformable plastic materials from the most respected manufacturers including Spartech, Royalite, Kydex®, Boltaron, Covestro & Plaskolite.
