Plastic Thermoforming Parts

Description

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process whereby a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. Auwell has rich experience in manufacturing and supplying plastic thermoforming parts to our worldwide clients.

There are two main types of forming process for plastic thermoforming parts production: vacuum forming and pressure forming. Vacuum forming uses heat and pressure to draw plastic sheets into its final configuration. Once a sheet is heated and placed over a mold, a vacuum is used to manipulate it into its desired shape. Pressure forming has many similarities to vacuum forming, but has the added benefit of additional pressure. This pressure allows for greater detail and texture, making it a solid choice when aesthetics is an issue. The most common way from Auwell plastic thermoforming parts production is vacuum forming.

Many uses are available for plastic thermoforming parts. One of the more common is packaging, particularly rigid packaging for food and consumer goods, but it has many other applications including automotive, machinery, medical instruments, white goods, furniture, fitness equipment etc.

Plastic thermoforming parts production is a relatively low-cost process compare to plastic injection, especially the tooling cost, in some cases, can be 95% cheaper compare to plastic injection molds. Also, with much faster development circle.  The most common material for plastic thermoforming parts production is ABS. The color can be pre-ordered if the order quantity meets the MOQ requirements (normally 1,000kg). Also, paintable plastic is also available, allowing for a wide range of customization to meet customer needs.
