Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our plastic bending and forming services
What is the minimum bend radius for plastic sheets?
The minimum bend radius depends on material type and thickness. As a general rule, the minimum inside bend radius should be 1.5-2× the material thickness for most thermoplastics. Acrylic, PC, and PETG can achieve tighter radii with proper heating techniques.
Can you maintain optical clarity when bending transparent plastics?
Yes! Our precision heating methods maintain 90-95% optical clarity in transparent materials like acrylic, polycarbonate, and PETG. We control heating temperature and cooling rates to prevent stress whitening, haziness, or distortion.
Is there a minimum order quantity requirement?
No, we have no minimum order quantity! Whether you need a single prototype for design validation or 10,000 production units, we can accommodate your needs with competitive pricing for both small and large volumes.
What file formats do you accept for custom bending projects?
We accept all standard CAD formats including .STEP, .STL, .IGES, .DWG, .DXF, and .PDF technical drawings. If you don't have CAD files, hand sketches with dimensions are acceptable – our team will convert them to production specifications.
How long does it take to receive bent plastic components?
Prototype lead time: 3-7 business days after design approval. Production runs: 7-15 business days depending on quantity. Rush services available for urgent projects. Shipping time varies by location.
