Vacuum Formed Part and Mold

Vacuum Forming

A process where heated plastic sheets are shaped over a mold by applying vacuum pressure for forming.

Overview

  • Vacuum forming is a manufacturing process where a sheet of plastic is heated until pliable, then formed over a mold by applying a vacuum to pull the material tightly against the mold's surface.
  • This method is often used to create lightweight parts with generally uniform thickness, which can be either transparent or opaque.
  • Vacuum forming is valued for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ability to produce large or small batches with consistent quality
  • TEAM can assist with mold design, development, and manufacturing if needed.
