The term for reheating thermoplastic is known as vacuum-forming. The desirable quality for vacuum-forming is at 180 degrees Celsius. This is when it is ready to be reheated to then be reshaped or remoulded.

The temperature is different depending on the specific thermoplastic. Temperatures in the range of 100-200 degrees Celsius are pretty typical. However, there are some low-temperature thermoplastics that become plastic (deformable) at temperatures below the boiling point of water.
