Fun with Thermoforming Machines!

This Labor Day I was thinking not only about how grateful I am to have a job, but about how grateful I am that my job is something I enjoy doing. There is something fascinating to me about the various processes that we use in our thermoforming and tooling systems. The shop environment is one that is fairly new to me, and maybe that’s part of where my enjoyment comes from. Working with power tools and heavy equipment is a nice outlet for my Tomboy tendencies, but the most enjoyable thing is certainly the knowledge that we deliver high quality thermoformed parts to our customers.

The thermoforming process requires many pieces, all of which work together to create the finished part. Our ovens heat the plastic, the vacuum forms it to the mold which was tooled by the CNC, and that same CNC will, in many cases, do the finish work on the part. Working with all of these machines to create quality product is incredibly gratifying.  My favorite days here are the ones where I’m out in the shop, surrounded by our equipment, all of it humming away in the various tasks that equal beautiful part runs.

Come on in and take a tour of our facilities! We would love to show you how we get the job done!

What Lemac Believes

Lemac company policy is that there is no challenge we won’t take on! We are dedicated to excellent customer service; our goal is to provide the highest quality parts with the shortest lead times at the most competitive prices possible.

What Makes Lemac Special?

Shop capabilities: Lemac has 4 different vacuum forming ovens of varying sizes, which allows us to make large and small products as efficiently as possible. We have 2 CNC machines which bring robotic technology and precision to our finished products, as well as a myriad of other finishing tools.

Engineering: Our lead engineer has over 40 years of experience in the plastics business, engineering and manufacturing parts for many different industries. LMC uses Solidworks CAD to create a virtual prototype. With the virtual prototype we can test tolerances, stress points, and even impact strength in the computer program to troubleshoot designs before the tooling is made.

Flexibility in quantity, function and design: Vacuum forming allows for a huge range of part sizes, shapes, and colors. Whether your part is 1”x 1” or 10 ’x 10’, vacuum forming can accommodate that size. Draw depths can range from parts of an inch, all the way up to 3 feet.

Proprietary Protection: As an Original Equipment Manufacturer LMC understands that any designs brought to us are proprietary. All of our employees have signed non-disclosure agreements.

LMC & Environmental Stewardship

Lemac is committed to environmental stewardship. One of our first priorities when we moved into our new facility was retrofitting the entire building to use low energy light bulbs. We implemented a recycling program that encompasses both our shop floor and our offices. All of the plastic trimmed during the production process is reground and recycled into usable plastic. We use that same recycled plastic to produce our parts.

Lemac Manufacturing Co Inc. is the home of 30 years of the highest quality custom engineered vacuum and pressure formed plastic products.

Materials routinely used: ABS, PVC, HIPS, HDPE, Acrylic and many others.
