What is Thermoforming?
Thermoforming is a cost-effective and efficient way to manipulate plastic to create custom interior architectural designs and structures. Common products made by thermoforming include Baby Bathing Bowls, Modular Vanities, Bathroom Partitioning Systems, and Wall Panels.
What is the Thermoforming Process?
The thermoforming process involves the heating and molding of temperature-sensitive materials, known as thermoplastics. Once the thermoplastic cools, it once again becomes extremely hard. This creates a new, usable product.

At A.S.S.T., we use Corian for everything from our modular vanities and custom wall panels to our bathroom partitioning systems and even our custom sculptures.
The History of Corian
More than 30 years ago, DuPont came up with a revolutionary way to blend natural materials and acrylic resin. The result: Corian, a unique solid surface product. With the help of thermoforming, Corian can be molded and formed into almost any form that you can imagine.
The Benefits of Corian
- Corian is Durable: Since colors and patterns run all the way through Corian, you do not have to worry about them fading or wearing away.
- Corian is Easy to Clean: Since Corian is non-porous, it is resistant to stains.
- Corian is Hygienic: Since Corian is non-pours, it is resistant to the growth of mold and mildew.
- Corian is Scratch Resistant: Not only is Corian scratch resistant, but is damage does occur, it is easily repairable.
- Corian is Completely Renewable: Corian is environmentally friendly.
- Corian is Non-Toxic: Corian is one of the least toxic materials around.
- Corian is Heat Resistant: You don’t have to worry about Corian burning when exposed to heat. This is why Corian is often utilized as a countertop material.
Virtually seamless Corian and A.S.S.T. combine to create subtle, inviting backdrops for any environment, whether it is a retail, education, entertainment, corporate, or even a healthcare venue.
For more information on our Corian please visit our website or give us a call. A.S.S.T. is your one stop supplier for your next commercial interior architectural project.

What is thermoforming?
What are the benefits of thermoforming?
What can thermoforming be used for?
There are so many frequently asked questions about thermoforming, because the general public really has no idea what thermoforming even is. So we at A.S.S.T. have decided to shed a little light on this often-confusing topic.
First of all, what is thermoforming?
Well, it is the overarching term used for the manufacturing process of producing plastic forms by manipulating a rigid, flat sheet of plastic under temperature and pressure. These sheets, known as thermoplastics, come in varying gauges depending on their intended purposes. Thermoforming also utilizes several different types of molds, including:
Machined Aluminum: Typically built for shallow molds with small draw ratios, these molds are mounted on a temperature control base to control temperature during the forming process.
Cast Aluminum: These molds are formed at a foundry, with the temperature controls cast into the back and sides of the mold. These are typically used for parts with large draw ratios.
Composite: These molds, which have a limited life, are for vacuum forming only and are not temperature controlled.
Next, what are the benefits of thermoforming?
Thermoforming is a cost-effective and efficient way to produce many plastic products.
Finally, what products can be made using thermoforming?
Thin-gauge thermoforming is the primary manufacturing process used to create disposable plastic cups, containers, lids, trays, etc. Thick-gauge thermoforming is used to make parts as diverse as vehicle doors and dashboards, refrigerator liners, and plastic pallets.
Thermoforming can be utilized to make almost anything, from baby bathing bowls and modular vanities to bathroom partitioning systems, custom wall panels, and everything in between!
When you combine skilled craftsmen with technology and tools that are state of the art, the results are impressive.
