EXPERTISE IN MOLD MAKING FOR THERMOFORMED PARTS
DX Plastiques
With our in-house mold manufacturing service, you will benefit from a faster delivery time for your parts. Whether it's from your 2D or 3D drawings, your measurements or a sample, our team will meticulously and precisely manufacture the molds required to thermoform your parts. They will take into account parameters such as heating cycles, plastic softening temperature, heating zones inside the oven, the behaviour of plastics in contact with the mold, demolding angles, etc.
Because those partners who work with us know which parameters are essential to our process, we can take over your design, from the beginning if needed, and assist you with the following services:
- 3D modelling
- 3D printing to validate the design
WORKING CLOSELY WITH YOU CONSTITUTES THE STRENGTH OF OUR TEAM
MOLD MANUFACTURING PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO YOUR NEEDS DUE TO
