Heavy Gauge Vacuum Forming

Heavy Gauge Vacuum Forming involves the making of machine parts, panels and components from large solid sheets of plastic. Our machines use sheets up to 6mm in thickness and sized up to 2.5 metres by 1.5 metres. The result is a heavier-weight, seamless and rigid form for greater durability.

We develop Heavy Gauge solutions in a range of materials including:

  • ABS
  • HIPS
  • POLYCARBONATE
  • PETG
  • PP
  • More affordable than 3D printing
  • Fraction of the cost of injection moulding
  • Quick to produce
  • Strong, durable but lightweight
  • Wide choice of materials and colours
  • Ideal for small volumes
  • Flexibility to test new designs and prototypes

STATE-OF-THE-ART MACHINES​

We have 2 advanced Vacuum Forming Machines on site. We also have 2 5-axis CNC Trimming Centres, with the latest offline 5-axis trimming software. This means we can machine complex shapes and parts, creating detailed curves, arcs and angles, and can trim up to 3 metres x 1.5 metres.
