Thermoforming Thermoforming molds are characterized by their simple structure, low material cost, ease of manufacturing and processing, low material requirements, and ease of modification. They can be made from materials such as steel, aluminum, plastic, wood, and plaster, costing only one-tenth of injection molds. Thermoforming is suitable for small-batch part production, especially when product designs change rapidly;


 Thermoforming


Thermoformed parts are mostly thin-walled, with the original sheet thickness being 0.2mm, but the actual product thickness is smaller; special thin products have a wall thickness of 0.05mm;
High waste utilization rate; strong adaptability. Thermoforming can be used to manufacture various parts, including extra-large, extra-small, extra-thick, and extra-thin parts. The thickness of the sheet used as a raw material can be as thin as 1-2mm or even thinner.


 Thermoforming


Wide range of applications. Due to the strong adaptability of thermoformed parts, their applications are extensive, ranging from tablet packaging to refrigerator liners, and even aircraft cabin covers, all achievable through thermoforming. Product types include cups, plates, and other daily necessities, medical supplies, electronic instrument accessories, TV shell thermoforming medical equipment thermoformed shells, broadcast television shells, billboards, bathtubs, toys, helmets, packaging materials, etc., as well as automotive parts, building components, chemical thermoformed parts, trays, equipment, antenna covers, and cabin covers;
Low equipment investment. ABS thermoforming Because thermoforming equipment is simple and the total pressure required is not high, the requirements for pressure equipment are not high, so it has the characteristics of low investment and low cost.


 Thermoforming


Thermoforming The surface area of the product can be as large as 10m2 (for a half-shell structure) or as small as a few square millimeters; the wall thickness can reach 20mm, and the thickness can be as thin as 0.1mm, such as thermoformed products for packaging tablets.
Most thermoformed products are semi-shell shaped, with concave and convex surfaces, and limited depth.
