Thermoforming

About Us

Aerial view of thermoforming facility

 Our partner is a custom thermoformer located in Central Florida. Their facility includes over 35,000 square feet of manufacturing space where custom plastic components are manufactured for OEM markets. Our commitment is to deliver best-in-class service while maintaining the highest standards in the industry. Our principle asset is our people who expertly utilize our equipment to execute our carefully documented processes. It is the ability to respond to our customers' requirements with exceptional service and quality at a fair price that sets us apart from our competitors.

 Thermorforming  - Lower Costs vs. Injection Molding

We manufacture heavy gauge thermoformed parts that are either vacuum formed, pressure formed or fabricated. These are ideal for certain parts because thermoforming tooling is a fraction the cost of injection molding tooling.

  • Vacuum forming: Ideal for short runs that do not require special details such as sharp radii, special textures, or undercut sections.
  • Pressure forming: When crisp features, surface detail undercut sections or deep drawn sections are required. This process produces parts that look like they were injection molded at much lower tooling costs.
  • Fabrication: Utilizes CNC routing and heat bending or bonding units together. Good for temporary POP displays.

High volume thermoformed parts

 Our state of the art thermoforming machinery can handle a wide range of products, from shallow vacuum formed parts to deep drawn parts (over 28” depth) and from thin gauge (.028” thick up to .500” thick). Our forming machines will accommodate sheets up to 54” X 108”. All of our molding machines are capable of producing pressure formed parts with the most intricate detail.

Engineering

Complex thermoformed part

Although we build parts per customers specifications, there are several engineering concerns we like to review before we get started. Some of these concerns are: Material selection, UV exposure, Flame retardant requirements, Shielding requirements, FDA or NSF requirements, chemical, thermal, mechanical, fatigue, finishing, cost, color, tolerances. We can design or help streamline an existing design to meet the thermoforming process and keep your part attractive and affordable. We use Solid Works to see your part in 3-D before producing finished mold.
