Thermoforming

Custom Thermoformers of Engineered and Commodity Plastics

thermoformingPENZ has a long history in custom vacuum forming. Our experience and technical proficiencies have allowed us to service a wide range of industries. Thermoformed parts offer cost and weight-reduction savings. For example, replacing a fiberglass product with a thermoformed part will reduce the overall weight by an average of 30 percent and result in a real cost savings.

Thermoformed tools cost much less than injection-molded tools, and because we build our own patterns and molds in-house, we are able to provide shorter lead times on prototype and production tools, not to mention the added cost savings of our in-house capabilities.

Major industries that have used our thermoforming products include:

  • Educational
  • Institutional
  • Medical
  • Recreational
  • Security
  • Truck/trailer

Our thermoformers include both shuttle and rotary types for higher-speed production. The machines vary in size up to a 4' x 8' capacity and handle the following materials:
  • ABS (weatherable)
  • Acrylic
  • Conductive ABS/PVC
  • FR
  • HIPS
  • Kydex
  • PETG
  • Polycarbonate
  • Polyethylene
  • Radel®

We make our thermoforming patterns, molds and fixtures in-house. This allows us to produce and present a thermoformed prototype sample to a customer within five to seven working days. Production tools are then typically completed within two weeks after approval of the prototype samples. No quantity is too small - or too large. Whether you need a prototype or a million pieces, your job will be handled by seasoned professionals.
