Polycarbonate Thermoform Plastic Sheets 0.015" x 12" x 12" Sheets - 8 Piece Bundle

WidgetWorks Unlimited Thermoform Plastic Sheets are perfect for inventors, small businesses, and DIY hobbyists who want to make custom vacuum formed plastic parts. Use these plastic sheets along with WidgetWorks Unlimited Hobby Vacuum Formers and a kitchen oven to thermoform homemade plastic parts with results that rival expensive commercial machines. Make your own plastic prototypes, clamshell and blister packaging, custom molds, scale model parts, and movie props. Polycarbonate (often sold under the trade name "Lexan") is the virtually unbreakable plastic used to make bulletproof glass. While Polycarbonate can be vacuum formed with good results, it can also be more difficult to work with than our other thermoform plastics. The natural strength of Polycarbonate works against the vacuum forming process, making it difficult to stretch the plastic into/around sharp bends and tight part geometry. Much of this concern can be eliminated by designing your part/mold with "soft" edges and flowing curves. Thin-gauge, transparent Polycarbonate is the material of choice for folks who build radio-controlled scale model cars, boats, airplanes, and rockets, where ultra light/thin plastic parts are exposed to a lot of abuse.
