Plastic Thermoforming Advantages for Electronic Device, Robotic, & Sensor Covers
Plastic thermoforming provides a rugged, economical and attractive
solution for electronic housings and covers. Thermoforming delivers parts rivaling injection molding and
sheet metal at a fraction of the total project cost. In addition, industry formulated thermoplastic materials can provide RTL, EMI, & RFI Shielding. Combine these features with the incredible design flexibility of thermoplastic and the list of advantages is numerous.
-
Durable and Impact Resistant
Thermoplastic materials are available with high strength-to-stiffness and strength-to-weight ratios that compete or exceed the durability performance of many metals and alloys.
-
Aesthetic Designs
Modern, curved, and geometrically complex design capabilities and flexibility at low cost
-
UV and Extreme Temperature Protection
Thermoplastic material options available with high UV resistance and can withstand harsh environments and temperatures
-
Variety of Surface Finishes
Material and in mold options for custom color, textures, patterns, branding, or high gloss finishes
-
RTL, EMI, & RFI Shielding
Thermoplastic material options with RTL, EMI, & RFI shielding properties, additives, or applied films are available
-
Large Parts at Low Cost
Large part capable up to 96″ x 120″ with low upfront tooling investment
-
High Detail and Features at Low Cost
In mold details and features such as speaker vents, louvers, and display and payment component apertures at a lower cost than injection molding
-
Multiple Part Enclosures
Ideal and cost effective for large and near seamless multi part enclosures and assemblies
-
Lightweight material
Thermoplastic is up to 40% lighter than fiberglass, 6 times lighter than stainless steel, and 1/2 the weight of aluminum
-
Moderate Volumes
Ideal process and competitive cost for EAU of 250-3000 parts
