"This metal to plastic thermoforming conversion guide can really help customers that are considering changing to the lighter plastic material and thermoforming manufacturing," said Evan Gilham, Productive Plastics COO. “Productive Plastics has a wealth of accumulated knowledge and experience from many projects converting metal to plastic thermoformed components for our customers, and this guide captures that well.”
Thermoforming is the plastic production process that heats a two-dimensional rigid thermoplastic sheet and uses vacuum and/or pressure to form that sheet into a three-dimensional shape. Productive Plastics’ core competency is in cut-sheet heavy gauge thermoforming with sheet materials ranging from .060 to .500 inches thick. Typical applications for custom heavy gauge thermoformed components include transportation (rail cars, buses, trucks), aerospace, industrial equipment, medical device , kiosks and many types of plastic enclosures.
