Custom Thermoforming
Thermoformed parts offer cost and weight-reduction savings over other manufacturing processes.
Utilizing vacuum, pressure, drape, or pre-forming processes, we are capable of manufacturing zero-defect parts measuring up to 11’ x 7’ with wall thickness ranging from .060”–.400”. Our large facility houses sheet-forming equipment as well as 3-station rotary machines for jobs requiring high production rates. We build our own patterns and molds in-house allowing us to deliver short lead times and cost advantages. Material choices are numerous and include polycarbonate, polyethylene, acrylic, ABS and TPO as well as modern engineering and commodity plastics.
Thermoformed parts offer cost and weight-reduction savings over other manufacturing processes. Precision process control and repeatability of same-job setups ensure accuracy and consistency from one production run to the next. Whether you need a prototype or one million pieces, your job will be managed by a seasoned Penz professional. We operate a full-service, ISO 9001:2008 certified facility and are capable of providing ancillary operations, including silk screening and laser etching. Enjoy the benefits of having your component manufactured, start-to-finish, under one roof.
