Vacuum Forming Process

The vacuum forming process starts with a sheet of plastic being heated until it is pliable. This sheet is then placed over a mold, and a vacuum is applied to the mold's surface. The vacuum pulls the heated plastic down onto the mold's shape, and it takes on the form of the mold. Once the plastic has cooled, it retains the shape of the mold and can be removed as a finished product. One of the benefits of vacuum forming is that it can produce parts in a variety of shapes and sizes, from simple to complex designs. The Plastic Works uses advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that the finished product meets exact specifications and tolerances. Vacuum forming can also be used with a wide range of plastics, including ABS, polycarbonate, and PVC, making it a versatile manufacturing process.
