Thermoforming vs Composites and Fiberglass Materials

Thermoforming is an excellent alternative to composites. We typically see parts that are hoods, covers, and/or guards offering great opportunities for conversion.

• Cost of part is less
• More design flexibility
• Ability to handle larger production needs without investing capital in additional tools
• Weight savings (up to 50% less)
• Thermoformed parts have a recyclable content
• Large variety of materials available
  • Paint (gel coat replacement) with superior weather ability and UV resistance
  • Monolithic color in which scratches are less noticeable
  • Texture availability of the raw sheet or in the tool
