TYPES of Thermoforming
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process in which a plastic sheet or film is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape using a mold, and trimmed to create a finished product. The process begins by heating the plastic material until it is soft and pliable. The heated plastic is then placed over a mold, which is typically made of metal or wood, and a vacuum is used to draw the material into the shape of the mold. Once the plastic has cooled and solidified, it is removed from the mold and trimmed to create the finished product. Thermoforming is used to create a wide range of products, including plastic cups, food packaging, and automotive parts.
VACUUM FORMING
Vacuum forming is the process of taking a flat thermoplastic sheet and using controlled heat to make it pliable enough to conform to a mold contour by simultaneously applying force and vacuum.
Vacuum-formed parts are typically three-dimensional, and finished parts will have the defined shape and detail on one side.
-
Ability to produce both low and high-volume parts cost effectively
-
Low forming pressures mean Inexpensive tooling compared to other processes
-
Less expensive to make part modifications in most cases
-
Fast turnaround times; customers can review sample patterns before creating hard tooling
-
Ability to select a customized surface finish from a variety of patterns and custom laminates
TWIN SHEET FORMING
Twin Sheet Forming uses distinct top and bottom molds, heat, and vacuum to create a void between two sheets of plastic while forming a strong edge seal.
-
High strength-to-weight ratio
-
Less expensive tooling costs than blow molding
-
Excellent rigidity and structural integrity
-
Enclosed cavities make twin-sheet parts suitable for a wide range of end-use applications
-
Molded-in attachments and other features are possible
-
Internal reinforcement options
-
Compatible with most thermoplastic

Design flexibility: Thermoforming can be used from simple to complex and the molds used in the process can be easily modified or replaced.
Cost-effectiveness: Thermoforming is a relatively low-cost manufacturing process, especially for small to medium-sized production runs because the tooling costs are typically much lower than for other methods, such as injection molding.
Speed: Thermoforming is a fast process, and once the tooling is made, parts can often be produced in a matter of minutes. This makes it ideal for prototypes and short-run production.
Material versatility: Thermoforming can be used with a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including ABS, PVC, and polycarbonate. This allows engineers to choose the best material for their application.
Lightweight products: Thermoformed products are typically lightweight, which can be an advantage for applications where weight is a concern, such as transportation and aerospace but they still have the strength.
Durable products: Thermoformed products can be very durable, and they can be designed to withstand a variety of environmental conditions.
