# Custom Part Fabrication for Industrial Equipment OEMs
## Custom Thermoforming and Die Cutting for Industrial Equipment OEMs
Industrial equipment components need to perform reliably across a wide range of environments, use cases, and production demands. Parts often must balance durability, functionality, and cost while supporting ongoing product updates and evolving customer needs.
**ICP partners with industrial equipment OEMs to manufacture custom thermoformed parts and components.**
When you partner with ICP, you get:
- Manufacturing that scales with your organization
- Design review focused on manufacturability and cost-effeciency
- Consistent quality across production runs
Our full services for OEMs include:
- Heavy gauge thermoforming and vacuum forming
- Flexible material fabrication (plastics, thermoplastics, rubbers, and foams)
- Die-cut gaskets using flexible materials
- Manufacturability review and analysis
Our team works closely with OEMs to support new product development, model updates, and long-term production programs.
## Trusted by...
## Testimonials
Industrial Custom Products has been our go-to for thermoformed parts for the past eight years. As a manufacturer of specialized equipment for measuring building airtightness, we require tight tolerances and a trusted partner who can help maintain consistency over time. ICP has excelled at handling our needs and asks the right questions to keep our production running smoothly. Given the complexity of our products, issues are bound to arise, but ICP’s ability to quickly adapt and resolve problems has been a tremendous benefit that other thermoformers have not been able to match.
More recently we have utilized the die cutting expertise of ICP on a variety of adhesive-backed gaskets. ICP has done an excellent job with the entire process from fast turnaround on quotes to delivering high- quality parts on time. We look forward to working with ICP for years to come.

## Why Thermoforming for Industrial Equipment Manufacturing?
Industrial equipment spans many applications, but common manufacturing challenges show up again and again. Components must be durable, repeatable, and manufacturable without excessive tooling investment.
Thermoforming is often a strong fit for industrial equipment because it produces:
- **Large and/or complex parts**
- **Durable components exposed to daily wear and use**
- **Lower tooling costs**
- **Faster turnaround times**
For many OEMs, thermoforming offers a balance between production efficiency and product durability.
## Example Industrial Applications
ICP supports custom fabricated parts for industrial components. The following are common examples, not a complete list.
**If your component is not listed here, it may still be a strong fit for thermoforming. ICP works closely with OEM teams to evaluate applications beyond standard use cases.**
Chain and Belt Guards
Consoles
Covers
Custom Displays
Dividers
Doors
Fenders
Guards
Heat Dissipative Products
Heat Foils
Hoppers
Housing Gaskets
Insulators
Interior Panels
Pads
Roofs
Seals
Shims
Shrouds
Skid Plates/Belly Pans
Touch Screens
Trays
Washers
### Case Study: Crenlo Engineered Cabs
We created a fully customized solution for Crenlo Engineered Cabs to streamline their assembly process and reduce unnecessary prep work. Two of the key parts in Crenlo’s assembly process for one of their customer’s applications are their right hand and left hand skirts used on the cab assembly. These skirts are made out of TPO (Thermoplastic PolyOlefin) and mounted onto a truck which is then painted and baked in an oven.
ICP proposed a newer material from Simona-PMC that includes a directly paintable and bondable film layer in order to alleviate the prep work prior to painting. When the customer receives the parts, they simply do a quick alcohol wipe to clean any potential surface contaminants off prior to painting.
Project results:
Major reduction of labor costs
Faster production time
Improved cosmetics and durability

## Engineering Support and Review for Manufacturability
ICP doesn't design products from scratch. Instead, we do something more valuable for OEMs.
**Our engineering teams actively review existing designs to identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, material selection, durability, and cost.** This review can apply at the part level, assembly level, or across an entire product section.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### How does thermoforming compare to injection molding for industrial equipment?
Injection molding is well suited for high-volume, smaller, and highly complex parts. Thermoforming is often preferred for larger components, lower volumes, or simpler designs.
ICP helps OEMs evaluate the tradeoffs between tooling cost, part price, volume, and long-term production needs to determine the best manufacturing approach.
### Are thermoformed plastic parts resistant to corrosion and chemical exposure?
Many thermoformed plastics do not rust, corrode, or degrade when exposed to moisture, cleaning agents, oils, fuels, or common industrial chemicals. This makes them well-suited for equipment used in manufacturing facilities, processing environments, and other industrial settings where exposure is unavoidable.
Material selection is critical. ICP works with OEMs to choose plastics that align with the specific operating conditions the part and equipment will face. When properly selected and designed, thermoformed plastic parts can provide long-term durability with reduced maintenance compared to metal alternatives.
### How large of a part can ICP thermoform?
We can form sheets up to 8 ft × 10 ft and 40 inches deep, with material thickness up to 0.500 inches. Most of the parts we form are on average of 36”x48”
### Can ICP assist with design and prototyping?
Yes — our engineering team provides design-for-manufacturability feedback, material selection, and rapid prototyping services.
### What tolerances can ICP Meet?
Tolerances are dependent on design, size, and material for the part. Please contact us for tolerance standards.
### How fast can you deliver parts?
Prototype tooling in as little as 3–5 weeks, with scalable production scheduling to meet OEM delivery requirements.
### What happens after I submit the form on this page? Am I locked into anything?
After you submit your information, our team will review your response and reach out for further follow-up, typically via email. Submitting a request for quote does not bind you to anything – we take it as you reaching out to explore your options.
Please note this form is not meant for solicitations. Solicitations will be ignored.
### Do You Offer Injection molding services?
**No.** We utilize thermoforming and vacuum forming processes. However – just because your part is currently produced using injection molding doesn't necessarily mean that thermoforming might not be a better solution for your specific application. If you're unsure, we encourage you to submit our request a quote form. If we end up not being the right fit, we can help match you with one of our injection molding partners.
### Do You Offer 3D printing services?
**No.** We utilize thermoforming and vacuum forming processes. 3D printing is occasionally used for early stage part design to verify fit and function, and then moves over to Thermoforming for production.
### What production volumes make thermoforming a good option?
Thermoforming is typically a strong fit for low to mid production volumes (up to 10,000 units).
