Benefits of Thermoforming
With advances in technology and process control the capability
and accuracy of the Vacuum Forming Process has improved many fold over
recent years. This makes Vacuum Forming the ideal solution, technically
and commercially, for a wide range of applications.
- Freedom of Design, simple conversion from 2D panels to
complex 3D components, improving product image and gaining market advantage,
without additional unit cost!
- Aesthetically pleasing, can be moulded from pre-coloured, textured
plastic with a very high quality finish, reflecting the quality of
your product
- Large parts can be economically moulded
- Low cost tooling, compared
to other moulding processes, as little as 1/10 in many cases
- Fast
and cost effective start up through prototyping, low volume production
batches through to full-scale production
- Cost effective, even for
small batch sizes
- Crisp details can be transferred from the moulding
tool
- Weight reduction over other processes
- Undercuts possible, with specialised
moulding techniques
- More cost effective than Injection Moulding process
in most cases, for volumes up to 10 or 20 thousands components per
year
