Frequently Asked Questions
What types of plastics can be bent?
We work with a wide range of plastics and engineering plastics, including acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, HDPE, and PETG. The choice of material depends on your application and the desired properties (impact resistance, transparency, flexibility, etc.).
What are the possible dimensional tolerances with plastic bending?
Tolerances vary depending on the type of plastic and its thickness, but we guarantee high precision, typically around ±0.5 mm.
Does bending affect the properties of plastic?
No, when bending is done correctly, the plastic's mechanical properties are preserved. Our controlled heating and cooling techniques prevent any excessive or weakened deformation.
What is the difference between hot and cold bending?
Hot bending uses a heat source to locally soften the plastic before bending it, while cold bending is only possible for certain highly flexible plastics. Hot bending is the most commonly used method to ensure clean and long-lasting results.
Can complex bends be performed on a single piece?
Yes, we can perform multiple bends on a single piece with high precision, allowing the creation of three-dimensional structures without assembly.
What are the production lead times for plastic bending?
Lead times vary depending on production volume and the complexity of the parts, but we optimize our processes to ensure fast and reliable delivery.
