Custom plastic machining to your drawings
Plastic Sheet Bending Services
Custom Bent Plastic Parts
BeePlastic supplies bent plastic sheet parts for equipment covers, side panels, brackets and displays. Our work includes acrylic line bending and parts that combine CNC-cut profiles, mounting holes and heat bending.
Send a finished-part drawing, sketch or description with your material and quantity. We can discuss a sample or an initial batch before repeat production. Tell us which dimensions, mounting points and visible surfaces matter to your project.
What to Send for a Bending Quote
Start with the information you have. No CAD drawing yet? Describe the part and add a sketch or photos if available. You do not need to calculate a flat pattern before contacting us.
| Project detail | Information to include |
|---|---|
| Material | Sheet material, grade or brand, thickness and color. For coated sheets, identify the coating and which face is visible. |
| Finished size | Finished dimensions and mating parts. Include a flat drawing if available, and mark the drawing revision. |
| Bend geometry | Bend positions, directions, angles, inside radii and full bend-line lengths, where known. |
| Profiles and holes | Cut outlines, hole sizes and distances from bend lines. Identify mounting points and any nearby cutouts. |
| Fit and finish | Critical tolerances, visible faces, edge finish and acceptable bend appearance. Explain how the part fits the assembly. |
| Quantity | Sample, initial-batch and expected repeat quantities, including any left/right part split. |
| Use and inspection | Loads, temperature, cleaning conditions and required documents. Include any safety, optical or other acceptance requirements. |
| Delivery | Destination country, postcode and target arrival date. Production timing, freight and sample/setup costs belong in the quotation. |
From Sample to Repeat Batch
- Send the requirement. We establish the material, part geometry and cutting-and-bending route. Missing dimensions or drawing work are settled before manufacture.
- Agree the sample. Sample scope, setup or tooling costs, timing and inspection points are quoted first. For load-bearing parts or critical clear surfaces, specify what the sample must demonstrate.
- Check before the batch. Approve the sample fit, bend shape and finish against the agreed requirements. Use the approved drawing revision for repeat orders.
Line Bending, Forming and CNC Cutting
Acrylic Line Bending
Line bending uses a heated strip to soften the sheet along a straight bend. It is a practical starting point for acrylic display stands, holders, L-shaped panels and U-shaped covers. The sheet grade, thickness, bend length and radius affect the method. Nearby holes, narrow flanges and several bends also affect access to the bend line.
Curved and Multiple-Bend Parts
A broad curve may need a forming tool rather than a strip-heated bend. Send the required radius and finished shape. For several bends, show final mounting dimensions and areas that must stay flat; the order of cutting and bending depends on access and part geometry.
Cut, Drill and Bend
CNC cutting can add profiles and mounting holes to sheet parts. Flat CNC-cut dimensions and finished bend angles or dimensions need separate tolerances. A cutting tolerance does not describe the accuracy of the formed part. Identify the features that control fit so they can be measured at the appropriate stage.
Sheet Materials
Specify the actual grade and thickness. Stock availability, coatings and the required shape influence the fabrication route.
Acrylic / PMMA / Perspex
For displays and clear covers, identify cast or extruded sheet, visible faces and edge finish. If Perspex or another brand is required, name it in the request.
ABS Side Panels and Covers
Provide the grade, color, thickness and surface texture. Show cut profiles, hole positions and the dimensions after heat bending.
Polycarbonate
Specify the grade and any coating. For viewing panels and equipment covers, include optical appearance, mounting and any safety requirements.
PETG Sheet Inquiry
Send the grade, thickness and intended use for clear covers or holders. Sheet supply and the finished shape are considered together.
Rigid PVC
For panels or brackets, state the rigid sheet grade, thickness, loads and service conditions.
Polypropylene / PP
Include grade, thickness and use conditions for formed panels or supports. Material behavior and part geometry determine suitability.
For other shapes, explore HDPE, POM, Nylon or PEEK. Some parts need machining instead of sheet bending.
Shape References
Use these reference images to explain a shape or fabrication requirement. The material, dimensions and finish of your part come from your specification.
Questions Before Ordering
What bend radius is possible?
The workable radius depends on the material, thickness and forming method. Send the required inside radius and angle; a drawing change or sample may help establish the practical shape.
What about clear surfaces?
Mark the viewing areas and acceptable marks or distortion. For critical appearance, agree a sample and how its clarity, edges and bend finish will be checked.
How do I send files and plan delivery?
Email PDF, DXF or STEP files to beeplastic@beeplastic.com, or start with a description. Include your quantity, destination and deadline so production and shipping timing can be included in the quote.
