Are you still searching for the perfect solution for your beautifully crafted, intricate part? Let’s be honest. Finding a manufacturer that uses a high-quality process for low-volume, complex pieces is tough enough. Finding an affordable one is almost impossible.

 

That’s where thermoforming comes in.

Thermoforming is the process of heating a thin plastic sheet until it’s pliable. You can stretch, mold, and trim it into any shape you want.

Here’s the real kicker: it’s an economical alternative to injection molding for complex, low-volume products. In other words, it’s just what you’ve been searching for. Compared to injection molding, thermoforming is highly adaptable, much faster to develop and test, and way more cost-effective. Its precision and overall design capabilities are second to none. You can even create completely unique custom parts.

If you’re ready to produce durable, one-of-a-kind, or even crazy complex parts for low-volume runs, bring your designs to Kenson Plastics. We can bring your product design dreams to life.
