Quality Vacuum Formed Metallic ABS Tanning Bed Our many years of vacuum and thermoforming experience have allowed us to perfect the manufacture of very large products using innovative material. This project is a perfect example of how we met a customer's custom needs and produced a high quality, durable product.
A manufacturer of tanning beds required multiple plastic parts to function as air flow components and cosmetic covers for their 92" x 40" tanning bed assembly. The material selected for the vacuum formed covers was a tri-extruded sheet with the first layer utilizing an ABS substrate for durability, the second layer using a metallic colored acrylic material and the third layer using a clear acrylic cap sheet that provided a smooth high gloss finish with UV protection. The completed assemblies featured material thicknesses of 0.125" and required machined tolerances of ±0.005". After CNC routing, full inspection and quality verification, the high gloss components where assembled to the customer's specifications and delivered to their facility.
