VACUUM FORMING
WHAT IS VACUUM FORMING?
Vacuum forming is a versatile and cost effective process that involves heating a thermoplastic sheet until it becomes soft and pliable, then using a vacuum to pull the sheet over a mould. As the plastic cools, it solidifies into the shape of the mould, creating a strong, detailed part with excellent surface finish. This process is ideal for producing both large and small components, making it suitable for a wide range of industries including automotive, retail, medical and consumer goods.
Our experienced engineers work closely with clients to create accurate prototypes that can be tested before full scale production. We offer rapid prototyping services to help you refine designs quickly.
Our precision tooling allows for high detail and complex geometries, ensuring even the most intricate designs are accurately reproduced.
We specialise in producing low to medium volume runs. Whether you need just a few parts or several hundred, we can meet your needs with fast turnaround times.
With the ability to handle larger sheets and moulds, we can produce substantial plastic components for applications such as point of sale displays, vehicle parts and larger industrial items.
