Thermoforming Design Guidelines - Universal Plastics

Due to equipment limitations films thinner than .005” and sheets thicker than .750” may not be able to be processed. Some of the most common materials used in thermoforming are: STYRENE or HIGH IMPACT POLYSTYRENE (HIPS): This is one of the most easily processed materials. It forms extremely well and is a low cost material. It is

DESIGN GUIDE - Thermoform

The key to good part design in thermoforming is understanding the need for a proper size radius or chamfer. These features are typically needed to allow for part strength, retention of material thickness, and/or esthetics. SPECIFICS: One of the most difficult features in thermoforming is the three-sided sharp corner in a female mold.
