Plastic Pressure Forming Overview:
Plastic pressure forming is a versatile and economical technique that offers high-quality results akin to injection moulding while maintaining the benefits of low-cost tooling and shorter lead times. This method allows for greater accuracy, detail, and flexibility in product design, making it ideal for various applications.
Key benefits:
- High-Quality Image: Achieves an injection moulding-like finish with lower costs.
- Low-Cost Tooling: Significantly reduces the expenses associated with mould creation.
- Shorter Lead Times: Accelerates the product introduction process.
- Enhanced Detail: Allows for undercuts, grille work, crisp edges, and detailed surface decoration.
- Low Internal Stress: Results in parts with good physical properties and durability.
Manufacturing Flexibility:
- Rapid Product Introduction: Ideal for manufacturers dealing with accelerated product life cycles.
- Cost-Effective for Low to Medium Volumes: Particularly advantageous for short-run productions.
- Modification Flexibility: Easier and more cost-effective to modify compared to injection moulding.
Design and Simulation:
- Early Customer Involvement: Our experienced design team collaborates with customers from the outset to eliminate preconceived process limitations.
- Advanced Thermoforming Simulation: Utilizes advanced software to finalize basic design and material options.
- Detailed Considerations: Recommendations on fixing devices and cosmetic features to improve appearance, function, and reduce costs.
Production Capabilities:
- Moulding Dimensions: Capable of producing mouldings up to 2200mm x 1500mm x 800mm.
