THERMO FORMING

Thermoforming

Thermoforming is the process of converting a thermoplastic sheet into a three-dimensional. Basic steps of thermoforming Plastic sheet is heated in an oven. Hot sheet is then transported to a molding area and draped over a cool mold. Vacuum is drawn through the mold, pulling the hot sheet onto the mold. Hot sheet takes the shape of the mold. Plastic cools and is transported to a trimming station where the formed part is trimmed out of the full-width sheet.
