What is VACUUM THERMOFORMING:
-
a sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature,
-
stretched onto a single-surface mold, and
-
forced against the mold by a vacuum (suction of air).
Why VACUUM THERMOFORMING:
-
is a cost effective option in a wide range of applications for both prototype and short run production parts.
-
The vacuum forming process can be used to make a wide variety of products, such as, motorcycle windshields, packaging, and enclosures.
Our VACUUM THERMOFORMING machine uses:
-
Thermoplastic sheets up to 48″ x 72″ and up to 1/4″ thick
-
Tooling area is 43″ x 67″ with a 20″ draw.
Molds for VACUUM THERMOFORMING can be:
-
3D printed for fast part production or
-
machined out of tooling board or aluminum for higher quantities.
The best mold option for your application will depend on part design, quantities needed and required lead time.
