Custom Thermoforming

Ditai is a Chinese company specializing in custom thermoforming services. We have more than 30 years of experience in the field of thick plate thermoforming. We can quickly respond to the design requirements of various complex structures and surface thicknesses, thereby generating products that satisfy customers. Ditai specializes in various thermoforming technologies and structural design solutions. By improving its own scientific research strength, it can meet more complex product designs. Ditai has a number of thermoforming patents and advanced thermoforming equipment, which can definitely help you complete the required design and products.

1.What is custom thermoforming

Thermoforming is a commonly used plastic forming method. By placing the plate on the thermoforming equipment, heating the plate to a certain temperature to soften the plate, and finally blistering the plate on the mold to obtain the required design shape, this process is called thermoforming, and customized thermoforming means that the shape, color, thickness, appearance, texture, etc. of different products can be realized according to the different needs of customers. The customized setting enables the thermoforming process to continuously meet the development of modern society and different industries. Customers only need to provide corresponding design drawings such as 3D drawings and samples for copying, and put forward additional design requirements to complete the design and production of a customized thermoforming product.

2.Various Requirements For Custom Thermoforming

Currently, various thermoforming manufacturers can provide design requirements that meet different customer requirements. Customers can choose which company to provide services through the manufacturer's publicity and display. The following are some common requirements for customized thermoforming:

2.1 Sheet

Sheet is a basic material for plastic products. Sheet is a plastic sheet cast by a sheet die-casting machine using various customized plastic raw materials. The thickness and length can be customized. The raw materials of the sheet are various ABS, ASA, HDPE, PP, PC, etc. The material is selected according to the customer's requirements for the product to meet the requirements of impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, high temperature resistance, etc. At the same time, it can also provide the necessary customized appearance requirements of bright surface, frosted, electroplating, diamond and other textures.

2.2 Thickness

Equipment in different industries will use different shells. In customized thermoforming, most customers will have strict requirements and tests on thickness. The thickness of thermoformed thick plate vacuum forming can generally be 2mm-12mm. For some thin sheet vacuum forming, this thickness can be lower. This customizable thickness structure gives customers in different industries a lot of design space for customized needs.

The thickness of thermoformed products is very important for product design and product blister molding. Products with larger thickness have larger molding tolerances and are more difficult to assemble. Some plastic products that need to be assembled require grinding and adjustment of larger molded parts; while the thickness of products with smaller thickness is difficult to control, and it is necessary to make full preparations during the mold and molding process to reduce errors and defective products.

2.3 Color and appearance surface

Customers also attach great importance to the standards of appearance requirements. Just like the requirements mentioned above for the plate, customers hope that the beauty and refinement of the product meet the expected effects, color selection and matching, surface gloss and contact effects, these are the design requirements that customers put forward to thermoforming manufacturers in customized thermoforming. Some important display props will even use various professional colors for spraying to meet their brand positioning and publicity effects.

3.Difficulties And challenges that may be encountered in custom thermoforming

3.1 Structural design

Complex structural design is a common problem in custom thermoforming, and it is also an opportunity to demonstrate the strength and technology of a thermoforming manufacturer. The cost of forming the required product shape through thermoforming of a complete sheet is much lower than the cost of producing and assembling multiple sheets. Therefore, customers hope to achieve multiple structures on a sheet to reduce production time and cost. Without years of experience in structural design and control of thermoforming process, it is easy to cause uneven product thickness, water ripples, and even excessive softening of the sheet, resulting in failure of blister forming.

3.2 Tolerance control

Different materials have different shrinkage rates, so the final molded product will have a certain thickness difference from the actual design thickness. Therefore, the actual physical shrinkage range needs to be considered at the beginning of drawing design and mold manufacturing. By controlling and adjusting the heating time and strengthening after thermoforming, the product error is guaranteed to be within the ideal control range.

3.3 Quality inspection

Quality inspection is an important process required for every custom thermoforming project. High-quality products can always gain the trust of consumers. It is also very important to do a good job of quality inspection. Strictly test each product in terms of product thickness, weight, three-dimensional dimensions, color tolerance, surface texture effect testing, etc. to ensure that each product meets the factory requirements and customer requirements.

3.4 Delivery time

On-time and timely delivery can greatly enhance customers' trust and favorability in the thermoforming manufacturer. If a company always delivers overtime, then its favorability in the hearts of customers will gradually decline. Punctuality not only reflects the attitude of attaching importance to customers, but also reflects its own ability.
