Our Engineering Capabilities

A Custom Resource For Creative Collaborations

Thermoforming
We have thermoformed thousands of different complex parts while maintaining tight tolerances all our customers demand from us. We have thermoformed anything from prototypes up to thousands of parts. Thermoformed parts are evident in practically every industry, and our custom thermoforming process allows us to be flexible in producing various projects in a short amount of time.
Fabrication
We have the capability to fabricate the most complex products and projects in the industry. Our experienced team utilize time efficiency and synergy to complete multi-operation projects in a fraction of the time. Plastic bonding is a very meticulous craft and our experienced craftsmen have worked with various bonding agents and materials to deliver consistent, beautiful results.

Crystal Craft provides a hands-on, collaborative, problem solving support team that insures clients of completely satisfying results, produced on time and on budget. With full CAD/CAM capability, the project team takes client vision from a CAD file into fully realized prototype for evaluation, testing, modification and approval. Once a prototype is approved, the team identifies the right materials and the most cost-effective manufacturing process based on the specified quantity.

Thermoforming Advantage:
Provides precision part detail
Able to achieve tight tolerances
Flexible tooling and engineering can be achieved in prototypes and (low, medium and high) production runs
Cost effective and efficient setup times

Crystal Craft’s unique prototype capability is the result of dedicated interactions with experienced scientists, engineers, designers, and educators, enabling state-of-the art development. Careful engineering makes it possible to produce the right prototype for each project. The right prototype makes manufacture swift and efficient. Turn-around time is shortened, accuracy is increased, and quality is guaranteed as affirmed by Intel and the LA Water and Power Museum.

Drape Forming
Drape forming is a process when a heated sheet contours to a male mold or female mold to form the plastic to the desired shape of the mold. We can drape form simple radius parts as well as complex multi-radii, compound curves. Whether you need a small half cylinder drape formed, or huge partition panels for hotel and casino lobbies, Crystal Craft’s your one stop shop for any drape forming project.
Bending
We have mastered the art of bending acrylic. From thin to heavy 2”+ gauge sheets we have the necessary equipment and experience to get the job done. We can bend acrylic to any angle or radius. Our bending department is setup to meet customer’s demands, ranging from prototypes to full production runs.
