Plastic Thermoforming - An Overview

Thermoforming is a plastic molding technique, that results in a variety of highly usable products.

- A plastic sheet is heated to a pliable temperature in an oven, it is stretched and formed in a mold and then cooled to a finished shape.

- Thermoforming is grouped into two categories depending on the sheet thickness of the formed part. They are:

● Thin gauge thermoforming
● Thick gauge thermoforming.

- The thermoforming process involves three basic steps.

1. heating the plastic sheet

2. Forming the plastic sheet

3. Trimming and finishing it into a usable product.

The methods by which the forming steps are accomplished can be classified into three basic types:

▶ Vacuum thermoforming

▶ Pressure thermoforming

▶ Mechanical thermoforming
