What is Thermoforming?
- Thermoforming is a manufacturing process that uses heat and pressure to form plastic sheets into three-dimensional shapes.
- It is one of the most common and versatile thermoforming processes, and it is used to produce a wide variety of products, including packaging, signs, displays, and housings.
Thermoforming Process
Thermoforming is a versatile and cost-effective process. Its relatively inexpensive to make, making it a good choice for short production runs.
The process of thermoforming is as follows:
1. Sheet heating: A sheet of plastic is heated to a temperature where it becomes soft and pliable. This is typically done using infrared or radiant heaters.
2. Drape forming: The heated plastic sheet is draped over a mold. The mold can be made from a variety of materials, including aluminum, wood, and resin.
3. Pressure application: Pressure is applied to the plastic sheet to force it to conform to the shape of the mold. The pressure can be applied using atmospheric pressure, vacuum pressure, or positive pressure.
4. Cooling and solidification: The plastic is allowed to cool and solidify in the mold. This allows it to retain the shape of the mold.
5. Ejection: The formed plastic part is ejected from the mold. This is typically done using compressed air or mechanical means.
6. Trimming: The edges of the formed part are trimmed to remove any excess material. This may be done manually or with a CNC machine.
