Applications

Visible, protective or functional parts.

Dimensions, material and volume determine whether a component is thermoformed, bent, welded or assembled.

Covers & guards

Mechanism protection, machine housings and equipment panels.

Transparent protection

Screens, windows, doors and guards in PC, PETG or PMMA.

Trays & tanks

Containment, storage or fluid circulation subject to material compatibility.

Equipment panels

Appearance parts, panels and custom technical housings.

Ducts & channels

Assembled or welded components for industrial applications.

Supports & plates

Cutting, drilling, bending and assembly of complementary components.

Sub-assemblies

Combination of formed and machined parts with integrated hardware.

Custom parts

Made to drawing when standard solutions are unsuitable.

Processes

Multiple technologies brought together around your project.

A single assembly may combine forming, machining, joining and finishing.

01 — THERMOFORMING

Formed parts

Heated sheet formed over tooling for covers, guards, housings and panels.

02 — CUTTING

Contours & openings

Cutting, drilling and machining after forming or directly from sheet.

03 — HOT BENDING

Angles & volumes

Precise bends for guards, displays or enclosures.

04 — BONDING

Clean assembly

Joining compatible components to suit the application and visual requirement.

05 — WELDING

Sealed assemblies

Plastic welding for trays, tanks, ducts and technical parts.

06 — ASSEMBLY

Finished sub-assemblies

Integration of hardware, hinges and complementary components.

Common materials

  • ABS for covers and appearance parts
  • PETG and PC for transparent protection
  • PMMA for clarity and finish
  • HDPE and PP for fabricated components
  • PVC for specialist equipment and ducts

Criteria to define

  • Part dimensions and thickness
  • Appearance, colour and transparency
  • Impact or chemical resistance
  • Quantities and supply frequency
  • Assembly and packaging requirements
