WHAT IS THERMOFORMING?
DX Plastiques
Thermoforming is the perfect balance between heating and plastic to precision form a part.
Thermoforming is a technique that consists of taking a sheet of thermoplastic and placing it on a frame in order to heat it to soften it.
This takes advantage of the material's ability to warp without breaking in order to shape it using a mold. Any residual air between the plate that holds the mold and the hot sheet is then removed using a vacuum.
The sheet adopts the mold's imprint; after cooling, we get the part we expected.
