Why Choose Thermoforming?

For OEMs looking for solutions to their part needs, thermoforming offers a number of benefits over other processes. With the right thermoforming partner, you’ll realize:

  • Design Flexibility: A wide variety of materials, available in a range of colors and textures, allows you to obtain the look you want for your final part, even without paint.
  • Durability: Plastics made by thermoforming hold up better over time than other materials due to greater impact resistance.
  • Lower-cost Tooling: Thermoforming tooling is much more cost-effective than injection molding or blow molding.
  • Fast Time to Market: With thermoforming, you’ll see shorter production lead times and you can make changes to new products quickly.
  • Precision: From tight tolerances to complex shapes, thermoforming can meet your exact specifications, consistently.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Most materials from the process can be reused to create new plastic sheets, reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill.

Starting with just a CAD file, your vendor will work with you throughout the thermoforming process to deliver the parts—and advantages—necessary to meet your requirements.

  • What Makes a Thermoforming Partner Ideal for Complex Aerospace Paint and Prep Projects?

    Aerospace paint and prep work must hold up under close scrutiny. A part may be formed to spec, trimmed cleanly, and ready for assembly, but the final surface still has to meet the customer’s cosmetic requirements. Gloss, clarity, coating consistency, and edge quality all matter, especially on large thermoformed aerospace parts with visible surfaces, contours,…
