Line Bending Services

At Advanced Plastic Technology, we provide high-precision line bending services that meet the demands of complex plastic component production. Our advanced equipment, combined with a highly skilled team, enables us to deliver outstanding results with exceptional accuracy and efficiency.

What is Line Bending?

Line bending is a process where a plastic sheet, typically made from acrylic or polycarbonate, is heated along a precise line until it becomes soft and pliable. Once heated, the material is manually or mechanically bent into the desired shape. This technique is commonly used to create straight or angled bends in plastic sheets, ideal for applications such as signage, displays, and protective covers.
