Custom Thermoforming - The Right Solution

ThermoFab’s thermoforming process offers close tolerances, tight specifications and sharp detail. For its flexibility in tooling and engineering and fast set-up and production of custom plastic enclosures – especially prototypes and large parts in quantities from dozens to thousands – thermoforming is commonly selected over injection molding.


The thermoforming process involves:

  • Heating a thermoplastic sheet to a temperature that softens it for molding purposes - sheets come in a wide range of thicknesses depending on the desired product, i.e. thin gauge for small packaging containers
  • Stretching the sheet to conform to a custom mold’s contours
  • Cooling the formed part until it becomes rigid and maintains the desired shape
  • Trimming the plastic part to eliminate edges
  • Fabricating it into its final configuration
ThermoFab’s commitment to quality shows during the entire thermoforming process. From the quality of the plastic sheets we use to the monitoring of our heating process to our forming parameters and cooling conditions, ThermoFab is dedicated to producing exceptional quality for your custom plastic enclosures.
