Custom products- Tooling Solutions

We can either use your existing vacuum forming tool to make more products for you or if you only have an existing plastic product, we may be able to use it to resin cast a new tool which speeds up the lead time and saves on tool making costs.

Our experienced designers can also design a custom product for you from scratch, or we can manufacture the new tool to your design - we'll always check your design for compatability with the vacuum forming process and advice you if redesigns are needed to ensure the plastic products are formed properly.

  The Thermal Vacuum Forming Process

•    Clamping The clamp frame ensures the plastic sheet is held firmly in place during the vacuum forming process.
• Heating Radiant heaters are used to heat the sheet which has been positioned over the aperture of the vacuum forming machine. Thicker sheets may require both surfaces be be heated by moving heaters into position both above and below the sheet.
• Pre-stretch Is used to achieve "even" wall thickness. Air is introduced to blow a small "bubble" and the mold is then raised into the pre-stretched sheet.
• Vacuum Forming A vacuum is applied, the sheet is drawn into tight contact with the mold and the mold detail is picked up.
• Plug Assist Where a deep draw is required, a top "plug" may be used to push material into the mold during the vacuum forming process retaining even wall thickness.
• Cooling and Release The material is allowed to cool. The cooling process may be shortened with blown air and the molding is then released from the mold by introducing air pressure.
• Finishing After the part is vacuum formed, secondary services are performed, including: trimming, cutting, drilling, assembling, polishing, painting, and screening.
