Thermal line bending of acrylic & plastic
Discover our thermal line bending services for acrylic and plastic – an efficient process that creates precise and tight radius bends in moldable plastic sheets.
Thermal Line Bending
Line bending is the name of a process where a strip heater is used to produce a ‘hot hinge,’ allowing the sheet to be shaped to the desired angle or form.
A thermoplastic sheet is heated over a strip heater until it becomes soft, and then it is bent to the desired angle.
The thermal bending technique (lateral) bends plastic with a thickness of 2 mm – 20 mm up to 2 times, with a maximum length of 2440 mm, and a tight radius depending on the thickness of the material used.
Cold Bending
For polycarbonate and PET-A, we use a break press. This is very precise, cost-effective, and fast
Do you know that:
Our service for bending acrylic and plastic offers a diverse production range for various products and components, including acrylic (PMMA, Plexiglass, Perspex), polycarbonate, ABS, polyethylene (PE), PET-A, PET-G, and more. The process enables the creation of items such as display stands, brochure dispensers, detail pockets, and acrylic signs, all produced from flat material. Explore our specialized services for thermal line bending and take your plastic products to new heights of precision and functionality.
The main advantages of line bending are:
- straight angles are produced very efficiently
- low production cost
- and no need for additional tools
