Plastic thermoforming is the process of producing parts by heating and shaping plastic sheet and film.
Part of the Fundamental Manufacturing Processes Video Series, this program highlights both cut sheet and roll fed thermoforming operations, and features segments on clamping systems, heating systems, thermoforming mold types, forming forces, and trimming processes.
The basic thermoforming methods are also examined, including:
-Drape thermoforming -Cavity thermoforming -Pressure thermoforming -Plug assist thermoforming -Twin sheet thermoforming
