Thermoforming Design Principles Process Selection: Applications for Formed Plastic Components

Thermoforming design principles process selection begins with understanding what the process makes possible. It also requires knowing where thermoforming outperforms alternatives. The process heats flat thermoplastic sheet until pliable. It then forms the sheet over or into a mold. Vacuum pressure, compressed air, or mechanical force accomplishes this forming. The process spans an extraordinarily wide […]
