Thermoformed Transparent Components

Thermoformed components are used across a wide range of industries.

• Automotive and motorsport: thermoforming is the core process used to manufacture curved transparent components, delivering weight savings of up to 40% compared with mineral glass, greater impact resistance and the ability to integrate hard coating, anti-fog treatment and screen printing into the same production sequence.
• Aerospace: the process delivers precise geometries suited to the aircraft structure and optical quality that meets pilot visibility requirements.
• Marine: thermoforming enables the production of curved console screens, windshields for performance boats and glazing integrated into the vessel design, including non-standard geometries developed from shipyard drawings or samples.
• Operator cabs for construction machinery, tractors and forestry vehicles: formats up to 3 x 2 meters enable the production of large panoramic panels compliant with ECE R43 and ISO 3449 FOPS Level II requirements.
• Special vehicles: thermoforming delivers precise shapes that integrate with vehicle conversion systems.

Components are available in polycarbonate or PMMA, with curved or double-curved geometries and three-dimensional forms, in different thicknesses, based on a drawing or mold supplied by the customer.
