Advantages
MATERIAL SELECTION
With over 30 years experience in thermoformed products, TriEnda has the process knowledge to optimize performance of leading-edge materials. You have targeted requirements and costs, and we have the expertise to customize material solutions-including the ability to create multiple layers of materials.
MATERIAL CONVERSION
TriEnda has a record of proven success in helping customers reduce material and tooling costs through material conversion-converting parts from metal, fiberglass, wood, and other materials to thermoformed plastic.
RAPID PROTOTYPING
Combining engineering skills with an extensive in-house tooling facility, TriEnda’s rapid prototyping capabilities are second to none.
The key advantage: you can review fit and function to ensure your material, process and part are just right before making an investment in hard tooling.
