Vacuum forming is a manufacturing process that involves heating a thermoplastic sheet and then draping it over a mold. The air between the sheet and the mold is then evacuated, causing the sheet to
How to design a mold for vacuum forming? Vacuum forming is a popular manufacturing process that involves heating a thermoplastic sheet and using a vacuum to draw it over a mold. The process can be
The most common methods for designing and developing a mold for vacuum forming using computer-aided design (CAD), prototyping, or simulation are: CAD (Computer-Aided Design) - where a 3D model
In the latest article, I wrote about some influencing factors of finished products in vacuum forming. That includes the type and the thickness of the plastic, the influence of temperature of the
