What Milplex wants to know up front
These details prevent broad assumptions and make the quote more specific.
Radius, bend angle, material stress and visible side determine whether bending stays clean.
A reference photo prevents misunderstandings for holders, covers and three-dimensional shapes.
State whether the part will later be bonded, screwed or mounted.
Suitable materials
- Acryl/plexiglas
- PET-G
- Polycarbonaat
Technical watch-outs
Bend angle, radius, direction and visible side must be clear up front.
- Include bend angle, radius, thickness and visible side.
- A reference photo or STEP file helps for complex shapes.
- Bending is often combined with CNC, laser or assembly.
Bent acrylic forms for display and presentation
Local heating and bending create seamless stands, holders and displays from a single sheet. Radius and material define the route.

Common questions about this capability
Answers that help decide whether this route fits material, file and deadline.
Which capability fits my project best?
That depends on material, geometry, level of detail and volume. Milplex helps choose between laser cutting, CNC routing and engraving.
Can Milplex advise on tolerances and finishing?
Yes. During file review we look at cut-outs, edge finishing, material behaviour and production feasibility.
Can Milplex handle repeat production?
Yes. We support both prototypes and repeat production when material, planning and files are aligned.
Frequently asked questions
How does Milplex bend acrylic?
Thermally (hot bending) into clean angles and curved shapes; ACM is rout-and-folded for clean edges.
Which products suit bending?
Displays, stands, covers and visible work where a clean bend matters.
What should I supply?
Material and thickness, dimensions and bend radii, plus a sketch or DXF.
