Thermoforming (also known as vacuum forming) is supported using an extensive range of thermoforming plastics, including PETG, HIPS, ABS, PC, Acrylic, Kydex and more.   The cost advantages and creative applications of thermoforming are accelerating its use in multiple applications, and with the utilization of low-cost tooling materials such as 3D printed tooling and tooling board, thermoforming has become a cost effective technology for start-ups and boutique businesses as well as large OEM's transitioning from LRIP to higher production volumes.   Some of the benefits and/or applications for thermoforming include:

• Rapid prototyping
• Low to high volume manufacturing
• Low cost alternative to Plastic Injection Molding
• Custom vacuum formed trays 
  • Product protection
  • 5S and LEAN manufacturing
  • Robotic manufacturing (line feeds)
  • Food safe and biodegradable materials
• Product packaging
  • Retail packaging
  • Food packaging
  • Compostable / Biodegradable materials​
  • "Plastic No More" (RAWS: return to air, water and salt)
• ​​ESD materials available
• Product packaging and POP retail displays
• Displays and Interactive Marketing
