I've never actually seen these Syncro flaps in person so I don't know how thick they are. I've worked with some fairly thick vacuum formed parts. To some extent, the amount of forming that can be done has a lot to do with the detail level and the depth of the draw. I do have several injection mold sources, but I don't know that the volume would be high enough to justify the cost of a mold. Since vacuum/thermal molds are less money, perhaps some minor design changes could be made to accomodate. Clint John Rodgers <inua@charter.net> wrote: Aren't those injections molded?? Kinda thick? The grille pieces are pretty thin material, and bend easily when heated in the vacuum of the vacuum forming machine. I don't know3 about thicker materials. Regards.
