Acrylic sheet can be thermoformed using several types of equipment such as vacuum, pressure, or stretching equipment and a variety of heating methods including coiled nichrome wire, metal (cal) rod, hot air ovens, ceramic elements, and quartz tube (nichrome filament and tungsten filament). These heat sources derive average life spans ranging from 1, 500 to 20,000 hours at varied efficiency levels.
The following technical information is offered as a resource for thermoforming equipment and procedures. Users should undertake sufficient verification and testing to determine the suitability for their own particular purpose.
