## Why Thermoforming for Powersports & Marine Manufacturing?
Recreation and marine OEMs operate in a space where parts must perform in harsh environments while still meeting visual and ergonomic expectations.
Thermoforming is a great fit for OEMs because it supports:
- **Large, contoured components**
- **Durable parts exposed to moisture, UV, and temperature swings**
- **Lower tooling costs during early production or prototyping**
- **Weight reduction and corrosion resistance over metal fabricated components**
For many OEMs, thermoforming provides a practical bridge between prototype and full-scale production, without locking teams into high tooling investments too early.
## Example Applications for Powersports & Marine
ICP supports custom fabricated parts for a wide range of recreation, powersports, and marine 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.**

### Case Study: Troubleshooting Tricky TPO Consoles
[Crestliner](https://www.crestliner.com/) is a world-class manufacturer of fishing, sport and utility boats used by both recreational and professional fishers. However, they were running into a problem that threatened to put a stain on their glowing reputation - consoles were cracking. And it wasn't just once or twice. It was enough that they saw a huge spike in warranty claims.
They needed a solution, and they needed it yesterday. That's where ICP stepped into the picture.
Project results:
Fully-formed and impact-resistant consoles
Short lead times for production
Fulfilled order backlog quickly

## 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
### Can thermoformed parts replace fiberglass or metal parts?
In many applications, yes.
Thermoformed plastics can support more intricate geometries than metal without added fabrication steps, making it easier to integrate features, contours, and functional details directly into the part. In outdoor environments, plastic components also resist denting and do not corrode, which can extend product life and reduce maintenance concerns.
Thermoforming also allows for custom color to be formed directly into the part, eliminating the need for painting or secondary finishing processes. That can simplify production, reduce variability, and improve consistency across runs.
Every replacement opportunity is application-specific. ICP works with OEM teams to evaluate performance requirements, environmental exposure, and production goals before recommending a switch from metal to plastic.
### 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.
### Is thermoforming suitable for exterior components exposed to water and UV?
Yes. Many thermoformed plastics are well-suited for exposure to water, UV, temperature swings, and general tough wear. Material selection is critical. Depending on the application, ICP can recommend plastics designed to resist fading, cracking, corrosion, and moisture absorption.
Exterior body panels, housings, covers, and enclosures are often thermoformed because they combine durability with design flexibility while maintaining a consistent appearance over time.
### 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).
