Thermoforming is a simple process that starts with a flat sheet of extruded plastic as its raw material.  That plastic is brought up to a temperature hot enough to make it formable.  It is then either draped or drawn over a mold to create a specific shape. Drape Form Thermoforming is a method that uses heat and gravity to conform to the shape of a mold.  While vacuum is used for our other methods of thermoforming, the weight of the material alone is usually enough to take on the molds shape.  When the material weight is not enough, then minimal pressure during cooling is all that is needed.     This is a 7” diameter overlay using 1/8” material. The process starts with a flat sheet of material, which is brought to thermoformable temperature and then draped over a mold.  For large parts that require only a simple contour, this method is an effective way to produce them.  If you are looking for a display or machine cover that is very simple, but not flat, or a custom aquarium or terrarium, we can produce it with ease.
