From a mobile distribution box for children’s books to custom electronics enclosures for a major brand sponsoring motor sports, Bray Plastics has experience in designing, fabricating and manufacturing enclosures from a variety of plastics, such as acrylic, polypropylene, ABS, PVC…
Drones, UAVs or unmanned aerial vehicles are a new industry that have both hobbyist and industrial applications. Used in the right hands they can inspect, survey, observe and deliver at low cost and can bring great advantage to the user.…
Reviewing and/or re-designing your own product is a difficult task, particularly if you have been closely associated with it. This was the dilemma ProEconomy faced with their ‘Orca’ water treatment station for Legionella control. Orca was a successful and proven…
Materials used in vacuum forming are usually thermoplastics. Almost all thermoplastics can be supplied in sheets and so can be vacuum formed. It’s also suitable for transparent materials such as acrylic, making it ideal in the aeronautical industry creating cabin…
Vacuum forming is a type of thermoforming, where a plastic sheet is heated until it becomes mouldable, when it is then stretched over a mould and the force of the vacuum pulls the plastic against the mould. Vacuum forming can…
The terms vacuum forming and thermoforming are usually interchangeable, however thermoforming is a more generic term and refers to a range of fabrication processing where a plastic sheet has been heated to its ‘plastic’ malleable state and then shaped using…
Thermoforming is a term used in plastic engineering to cover a variety of processes. All thermoforming involves heating a plastic sheet to its pliable plastic state. Different plastics require a different temperature and length of heating to reach their malleable…
It can be difficult to cut or engrave softer materials and substrates accurately. Particularly when they may contain adhesive or have an inconsistent density. Bray Plastics use their laser as a CNC ‘scalpel’ to accurately cut a range of diverse…
Large vacuum forming of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PE (polyethylene)and PP (polypropylene)is now within our capabilities. With a capacity from 100mm square right up to 2200mm x 1200mm we can help. Large area vacuum formings are a cost effective way…
