ï‚· Polypropylene (PP): Offers excellent chemical and fatigue resistance, often used in chemical processing equipment and laboratory components.
-
ï‚· Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Selected for its versatility and ease of fabrication, commonly used in industrial ductwork and enclosures.
-
ï‚· Polycarbonate (PC): Valued for its impact resistance and optical clarity, suitable for protective covers and transparent panels.
-
ï‚· Acrylic (PMMA): Renowned for its brilliant clarity and weatherability, used in displays, signage, and architectural features.
-
ï‚· ABS, PVDF, CPVC, and More: We routinely work with specialty and engineering thermoplastics for demanding industrial and high performance applications.
​
Each project begins with a consultative approach in which we guide customers in selecting the optimal material based on their application's structural, chemical, and environmental requirements.
Thermoforming Techniques at Pro Plastic Welding
Thermoforming is central to our suite of fabrication services. It is a versatile process that involves heating a thermoplastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then shaping it over a mold using vacuum or pressure. Once cooled, the plastic retains its new form. Our facility is equipped with quality thermoforming machinery, allowing us to deliver precise, repeatable results.
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming is one of the most widely used thermoforming processes. In this method, a plastic sheet is heated and then drawn down over a mold while vacuum pressure pulls it tightly against the mold surface. This technique is ideal for producing lightweight, durable parts with smooth finishes, such as enclosures, trays, panels, and packaging inserts.
Drape Forming
Drape forming involves heating the thermoplastic sheet and then manually draping it over a mold. Gravity and sometimes light vacuum assist in shaping the material. This method excels for producing gentle curves and large, open shapes such as machine guards, covers, and architectural panels.
Custom Molding and Prototyping
Our in-house design and engineering team can rapidly create custom molds tailored to client specifications, enabling quick prototyping and small-run production without the high costs associated with injection molding. We utilize digital modeling, 3D printing, and CNC machining to develop and refine molds for even the most complex geometries.
