A method for forming a reinforced thermoplastic, comprising: heating a thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to a forming temperature at a first time; compressing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between a first tool and a second tool while the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is at the forming temperature, wherein the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is bent about a first axis extending along a first direction with respect to the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) in response to being compressed between the first tool and the second tool; and cooling the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to a hardened temperature, the hardened temperature is cooler than the forming temperature, the method characterised by: disposing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between a third tool and a fourth tool; heating the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to the forming temperature at a second time while maintaining tension on the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to maintain a curvature of the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) about the first axis; and compressing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between the third tool and the fourth tool while the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is at the forming temperature, wherein the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is bent about a second axis extending along a second direction with respect to the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) in response to being compressed between the third tool and the fourth tool. heating a thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to a forming temperature at a first time; compressing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between a first tool and a second tool while the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is at the forming temperature, wherein the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is bent about a first axis extending along a first direction with respect to the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) in response to being compressed between the first tool and the second tool; and cooling the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to a hardened temperature, the hardened temperature is cooler than the forming temperature, the method characterised by: disposing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between a third tool and a fourth tool; heating the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to the forming temperature at a second time while maintaining tension on the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to maintain a curvature of the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) about the first axis; and compressing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between the third tool and the fourth tool while the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is at the forming temperature, wherein the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is bent about a second axis extending along a second direction with respect to the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) in response to being compressed between the third tool and the fourth tool. disposing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between a third tool and a fourth tool; heating the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to the forming temperature at a second time while maintaining tension on the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) to maintain a curvature of the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) about the first axis; and compressing the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) between the third tool and the fourth tool while the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is at the forming temperature, wherein the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) is bent about a second axis extending along a second direction with respect to the thermoplastic panel (210, 410) in response to being compressed between the third tool and the fourth tool.
