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.Strip Heat Bending is a simple method that utilizes a narrow heating element (or strip element) to create the form. A flat sheet of plasticthat is pre-machined will be formed by bending along the narrowheated length of the sheet to any angle needed.On the left is a model of a clear document holder using 1/8” clear acrylicThis production method is a very cost effective way to make low to high quantities of a product that may be needed as a simple document holder, housing or cover, that requires minimal (and in some instances no) start-upor tooling costsOn the right is a housing using 1/8” tinted acrylic,
