COSMETIC YET FUNCTIONAL. LOW COST TOOLING.
Universal Plastics manufactures a range of thermoformed custom plastic panels for applications ranging from medical equipment to electronic components. Through the simplicity of the vacuum forming process, we can achieve cost efficiencies for you over injection molding for large parts with moderate runs. Savings are specifically realized in tooling and on the time required to prototype and bring your product to fruition. The more complex pressure forming process can also be used if your product requires fine, detailed finishing and challenging design considerations. Even with pressure forming, the cost savings versus injection molding are very real for large parts with low to moderate volumes. Universal Plastics also offers in-house tooling and a wide array of secondary capabilities including painting and complex assemblies.
