Thermoforming (Vacuum Forming)
Thermoforming is a generic term that encompasses a variety of methods for
producing three-dimensional parts from flat sheets of film. Yup origami
for engineers With the knowledge of thin high performance films,
combined with thermoforming expertise the results are impressive. Different
configurations are possible to create complex shapes including the option of
joining thermoformed parts via heat sealing.
Thermoformed Solutions
Releaseability 每 mold liners
Chemical Inertness 每 pump diaphragms and diaphragm liners
provide corrosion resistance
Dry Lubrication 每 peristaltic pump rollers
Dielectric Properties 每 implantable medical device capacitor
insulation
Temperature Resistance 每 labware
including sampling apparatus covers, containers, and petri dishes
Thermoforming has some unique advantages over
other methods of processing plastics:
- Low tooling costs
- Prototype speed
- Parts with very small thickness to area ratios can
be fabricated.
We specializes in the traditional
thermoforming techniques of drape forming and vacuum forming. When we combine or
thermoforming expertise with our knowledge of thin high performance films, the
results are impressive.
- FILM THICKNESS: (Before forming) from .003" to .125"
- MACHINE CAPACITY: 18" x 18" sheet
- MOLDS & TOOLING: engineered with customer and built by RTD Technologies (A leader in custom
thermoforming tooling) to insure maximum Quality Control in prototype and
production stages. Give us a finished part drawing and we will do the
rest.
- ENGINEERING: our technical service team will guide you through all phases of design to
insure the proper product selection for each end use. We are capable of
working in most common CAD drawing formats.
- ALL INQUIRIES for prototypes and production quantities welcome. In the event that
thermoforming is not the most desirable technique for solving your
problem, unique processes and/or equipment can be fabricated to produce
the product required.
- CLIENT CONFIDENCE is maintained at the highest level for all customers operating in
proprietary or competitive industries.
- TRACEABILITY for
medical or other critical end uses is available upon request at no extra
expense. SUPPORT: Mold Design Mold Fabrication Development Service
