Process & Customization Options
Thermoforming Process:
Heating: Polycarbonate sheet is heated until it becomes pliable.
Forming: The heated sheet is molded using vacuum or pressure to take its shape.
Cooling: The formed plastic cools and solidifies into the final shape.
Customization Options:
Shape & Size: Housings can be made in any custom shape and size.
Thickness: Adjustable thickness for impact resistance and durability.
Color: Available in different colors, or can be dyed/painted.
Surface Texture: Smooth, matte, or textured finishes can be customized.
Additional Features: Custom cutouts, vents, or mounting points can be added.
Impact Resistance: Extra thickness or reinforcement can enhance durability.
UV Resistance: UV-resistant coatings to prevent yellowing under sunlight
