Thick gauge thermoforming & fabrication solutions

Thick gauge thermoforming (also called heavy gauge thermoforming) is the go-to process for creating durable, large, and complex plastic components. Using thermoplastic sheets typically ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm, this process delivers robust, rigid, high-performance parts for automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, medical devices, consumer products, and transportation. Unlike thin gauge packaging, thick gauge thermoforming produces structural and reusable components that often replace metal, fiberglass, or injection-moulded parts — a lightweight yet durable alternative.

The thick gauge thermoforming process

From material to precision — engineered for strength and quality at every step.

01
STEP 01

Material selection

Choose a thick-gauge sheet (2–12 mm) for strength, impact, UV, FR or chemical durability — ABS, HDPE, HIPS, PC, PMMA, ASA or PP.

Right material for right performance

02
STEP 02

Sheet heating

Heat the thick sheet in infrared or convection ovens until evenly softened, with sag control keeping the sheet uniform.

Uniform heating for consistent forming

03
STEP 03

Clamping & forming

Clamp and form over a large precision mould using vacuum or pressure forming for accurate, repeatable parts.

Accurate forming for the desired shape

04
STEP 04

Cooling & setting

Cool with air or water to lock in rigidity and dimensional stability before the part releases from the tool.

Stable shape with excellent rigidity

05
STEP 05

Trimming & finishing

5-axis CNC trimming for precise edges and cut-outs, plus drilling, painting, printing and assembly.

Clean edges & a premium finish

06
STEP 06

Quality control

Every part inspected for dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength and surface finish — ISO 9001, COA/MTC on request.

Tested. Verified. Trusted.
