THERMOFORMING The thermoforming process applies heat in a controlled environment to a commodity or custom engineered plastic sheet. Using vacuum, the softened and pliable plastic sheet material is drawn over a mold, cooled then released. The thermoforming process is ideally suited for prototyping, low to mid-range production or higher volume applications using multi-cavity molds and semi or fully automated forming and trimming equipment. • Relatively Low Tooling Costs • Rapid Startup • Formed-in Color and Texture • Economical for Moderate Production • High-Strength/Weight Ratio • Cost Effective Prototyping MATERIAL |
