Thermoforming is a process in which a sheet of plastic is heated to a flexible state, stretched over or into a mold, allowed to cool, and removed from the mold for trimming.
The first step in the Thermoforming process is the creation of a mold from which a tool will be made. We create molds in-house based on customer specifications.
It is imperative to choose the correct materials as different plastics have different characteristics. These include formability, impact strength, shrinkage rate, and more.
The plastic sheet is then heated in an oven to the desired temperature. Accurate temperature control is imperative, as the plastic must be uniformly heated.
When the correct temperature is reached, and the sheet is sufficiently flexible, it is transferred from the oven, and the mold is hydraulically raised to meet the plastic.
