Looking for a cost-effective way to create durable, high-performance plastic components? PC vacuum forming could be exactly what you need. At Waveform Plastics, we specialize in custom polycarbonate vacuum forming and thermoforming solutions designed for a wide range of industries and applications. With over 25 years of expertise and a commitment to precision and quality, we turn your concepts into strong, versatile, and reliable products.
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance thermoplastic valued for its outstanding clarity, durability, and versatility. This lightweight material offers exceptional impact resistance and excellent dimensional stability, making it ideal for a wide range of demanding applications. PC sheets are frequently used in industries where strength and transparency are critical, including automotive, electronics, and safety equipment.
Vacuum forming is a versatile manufacturing process used to shape thermoplastic materials, such as polycarbonate (PC) sheets, into precise forms. In this process, a heated PC sheet is stretched over a mold, and a vacuum is applied to draw the material tightly against the mold’s surface. This technique enables the production of complex shapes and detailed designs with minimal material waste, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for creating custom components.
Waveform offers a range of polycarbonate (PC) sheet grades for our vacuum forming and thermoforming processes. Options include general-purpose PC for excellent clarity and impact resistance, UV-stabilized PC for enhanced weatherability in outdoor applications, and high-temperature PC for projects requiring superior heat resistance. The ideal grade depends on the unique demands of your application.
