Bend radius acrylic sheet.
Remember to wait until the initial bend in the acrylic has completely cooled before attempting another bend in the same sheet of acrylic.
Extruded sheet should be heated to between 290 and 320 f 145 and 160 c.
It is given by multiplying the thickness of the sheet by 100 i e.
Repeat the heating process as necessary for any other bends in the sheet of acrylic.
Extruded acrylic sheet will give better definition in tight radii or deep draws.
Cast acrylic sheet should be heated to between 340 and 380 f 171 and 193 c.
Line bending or thermoforming a brasion resistant acrylic sheet is not recommended.
If you have no other bends to make in the acrylic then move onto the last step or you might be done with your project.
To set up your plastic or acrylic sheet to bend simple curves for your miniature and model projects you need to first remove the protective covering from the material you wish to bend.
Cold forming plexiglas sheet can be cold formed bent at room temperature in a smooth arc and held to a radius by forcing the material into a curved channel support.
