Line BendingLine bending is a thermoforming process, i.e. it is a method of forming a thermoplastic after it has been heated until it has become soft and pliable. Line bending involves heating a thermoplastic sheet material over a strip heater until it becomes soft and pliable, then bending it, usually over a former. Thermoplastics may be bent to any angle by using a jig or a former, or if the angle is not critical, simply by bending the thermoplastic sheet by hand and then holding it until it cools. The animation opposite is one of a set covering line bending processes, including jigs, formers and line benders / strip heaters. |
