The component shown here was precision thermoformed from ABS for a manufacturer of trucks.

Designed for use as a gear cover, the component had to meet industry standards such as ISO technical standards as well as specific DOT standards. The cover featured dimensions of 3.0″ 5.0″, and required tolerances ±.060″.

Manufactured on our TF 100 multi-cavity vacuum former, the finished part had a hair cell finish and required full assembly and mating of parts. This gear cover was manufactured at a rate of 30 parts per hour for a total quantity of 200.
