What Thermoforming Is

Thermoforming plastic products is a manufacturing process where we heat a plastic sheet until it is a pliable forming temperature. We then form it to a specific shape on a mold and trim it to create a usable product.

What Composites Are

Composites are the result of combining material technologies. Although many combinations of materials can produce composites, Plastics Unlimited focuses on fibers, primarily fiberglass and carbon fiber, that we combine with a resin. Some of the resins we currently use are polyester, vinyl ester, urethane, and epoxies.

What Urethane Molding Is

Cast polyurethanes are produced by mixing two liquid components, polyol and isocyanate. After they are mixed at a specific ratio, they are poured into a mold. The mixture will cure and become hard. After it is cured, it can be removed from the tooling. Polyurethane can be made in a variety of densities and durameters by varying the isocyanate, polyol, or additives.

Defining In-House Design and Tooling

Design

Tooling design is the foundation of manufacturing. The engineers in our in-house design/tooling team are proficient in a variety of design software, including Solidworks, MasterCAM, and Robot Studio. They use these tools to take your ideas, goals, and design criteria from concept to production.

Tooling

Our designers and tool makers produce thermoform, composite, and urethane molds in-house.

What It Is

Plastic manufacturing processes often produce excess edge and surface material on manufactured parts. Plastics Unlimited’s part-trimming removes this excess material from thermoformed, composite, and urethane-molded plastic products.
