Advances in materials, tooling, and technology continue to blur the line between the most suitable process and a given application. Thermoforming, of course, can be used to make everything from ...

There’s a decent chance that you’ve held something today that exists thanks to thermoforming… even if you don’t know what thermoforming is. The video above gives a brief rundown of the process (“A ...

Note: Information and images for this article were obtained from the course “Advanced Forming of Thermoplastic Composites” taught by the ThermoPlastic composite Research Center (TPRC). Thermoplastic ...

Chances are good that you’ve already lost some blood to thermoforming, the plastics manufacturing process that turns a flat sheet of material into an unopenable clamshell package, tray inside a box, ...

The versatile new R3 thermoforming packaging machine developed by Multivac is designed to process recyclable single-material films consistently and reliably with minimal maintenance. The machine also ...

Sustainability, automation, in-mold labeling and improved technology are some of the drivers of change in the thermoforming sector, according to a new report from the Plastics News research department ...

Normally, foam cores cannot be used at temperatures higher than their glass transition temperature (Tg). The ArmaFORM AC grade PET core material has a Tg of around 75ºC. However, crystallization in ...

A German partnership has completed a multiyear project to develop a hybrid injection-molding/thermoforming process for making complex components from fiber-reinforced ...

Thermoforming is a widely adopted manufacturing technique in polymer engineering whereby a pre-extruded thermoplastic sheet is heated to a pliable state and formed over a mould to produce lightweight, ...

Although technology is the star in medical devices from MRI and blood analysis machines, to CT and PET scan equipment, it could not function without the custom covers, panels, housings, enclosures, ...
