Thermoforming is a technology for producing open products with uniform wall thickness, such as lids, containers, housings, but also blisters or trays. In order to make parts using thermoforming technology, it is necessary to make a mold<\/u> beforehand, which is the necessary tooling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Depending on the application, size, or quantity, there is a wide variety of materials from which we produce thermoforming molds. Their main advantage is that tooling can be up to 10 times cheaper than other plastic processing technologies (such as injection molding).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In this article, we describe, from the practical side, how moldmaking works and what materials to use for different implementations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Thermoforming of plastics – a brief overview.<\/h2>\n\n

Thermoforming is a very versatile technology for manufacturing plastic products. It involves heating the thermoplastic sheet first to a certain temperature, and then forming it into the desired shape, on a pre-made mold.<\/p>\n\n

The input material is board or film. You can learn more about thermoforming technology on a dedicated subpage<\/a> and blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

What kind of products can be created by thermoforming?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Products that are created by thermoforming technology have a very wide range of industrial applications. These may include:<\/p>\n\n
