Blow thermoforming

Contactless blow thermoforming is much more than just a plastic processing technique. It is the art of creating parts with exceptional optical clarity, without the slightest deformation or distortion, to meet the most demanding industry standards, particularly in aeronautics.

This specialised method relies on the flexibility of heated plastic, which is gently blown into a bubble or half-sphere shape. This is done without any contact with the material, ensuring flawless visual results.

Contactless blow thermoforming is a high-precision process that produces perfect lenses, aerospace-grade canopies and crystal-clear half-spheres. These parts are used in a variety of applications where optical quality is paramount, from aviation to weather equipment and the medical industry.

At Plastisart, we have mastered this technique to perfection, creating plastic parts that push the boundaries of optical quality. Our experts transform plastic into optical works of art, suitable for applications that demand unparalleled visual clarity. Trust Plastisart for optical solutions that redefine perfection.

Possible applications for plastic blow moulding

  • Giant plexiglass bubbles: These giant bubbles are used in special events, art installations, interactive museums, and even amusement parks to create captivating visual experiences.
  • Aeronautical canopies: Contactless thermoformed plastic canopies are used in the aeronautical industry for cockpits, cabin windows, and observation domes, offering superior optical clarity.
  • Protective lenses for weather equipment: These lenses protect sensors and weather equipment, ensuring optimal light transmission for accurate measurements.
  • Underwater observation bubbles: Bubbles designed for aquariums to create an observation point in aquariums and oceanariums.
  • Medical equipment: High-quality plastic sight glasses are used in the medical industry to monitor fluids and processes, providing unmatched visual clarity for accurate diagnoses.
  • Architectural lighting: Diffusers and shades made from contactless thermoforming provide uniform brightness and exceptional aesthetics for architectural lighting installations.
  • POS displays (Point of Sale advertising): These transparent plastic displays are designed to showcase products and samples, attracting customers' attention with their exceptional optical quality.

These examples illustrate the versatility of contactless blow thermoforming in the creation of plastic parts offering superior optical quality for a wide range of applications, from art to high-tech industries.

Materials used in blow thermoforming

PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate, Plexiglas): PMMA is the most commonly used material due to its exceptional optical clarity. It is available in a variety of thicknesses, colours, textures and finishes. In addition, special coatings, such as anti-scratch treatments and UV filters, can be applied to meet specific requirements.
