Sample Thermoformed Products
The Vacuum Forming Process
Vacuum Forming is a manufacturing process where plastic sheet is heated until pliable and then drawn over a mold using vacuum. Once the sheet has cooled, we are left with a rigid form. The form is then trimmed, cleaned and finished to create a manufactured part.
Vacuum Forming is ideal for low-cost tooling and part production, especially in low volumes or when quick turnaround is needed. Its efficiency makes it perfect for rapid prototyping and small production runs.
Vacuum Forming Plastics
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
- HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)
- Kydex T (ABS/PVC)
- PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
- PC (Polycarbonate)
- PP (Polypropylene)
The Leaders of Prototyping and Low Volume
Most shops won’t touch low volume work or offer lead times under a month.. we’re built different!
We stock a wide range of plastics and gauges and can often make tooling in days.
We use a robust engineering review process, inspection and quality control to ensure parts are right first time.

Wonderful customer service. They lead me to an outcome where this particular project would be better served in a different way, but this care and attention will lead me to come back to RapidMade and tell my colleagues about it.Posted on Google![]()

I recently had the opportunity to design some parts to be 3D printed. I sent over my designs and talked with Andrew about what the parts intended function are. He guided me through the proper material and printing method to be used. The final printed parts are now on the production line and are working great.Posted on Google![]()

10 out of 10. Andrew and his team at RapidMade were able to deliver high quality 3D printed parts in a very timely manner. They should definitely be considered for all 3D printing needs.Posted on Google![]()

I've been looking for a large scale 3-D printer for a work project. I work at a zoo and botanical garden, so I'm no expert in the field of 3-D printing. ChatGPT recommended eight large scale 3-D printing companies in the US to help with our project. Only one of them seemed to care about our project: Andrew LaPlant at RapidMade. He asked lots of questions and helped us figure out what we needed to make our project work. Thanks Andrew. You definitely made RapidMade stand out from the crowd.Posted on Google![]()

Andrew LaPlant assisted me in choosing the correct material and process required for a batch of complex 3D printed parts which required painting. The parts ended up better than expected and on time. I would definitely refer RapidMade to someone looking for quick custom prototypesPosted on Google![]()

We previously worked with a few larger prototyping companies and communication was slow and frustrating. We are very happy with how fast and helpful Andrew has been, and we are genuinely impressed with the surface finish RapidMade can achieve with 3D printed part. This will be our go-to choice for fast prototypes from now.
