Plastic thermoforming is a versatile and cost-effective manufacturing process that finds application across various industries. The lightweight nature of thermoformed parts makes them an attractive alternative to fabricated sheet metal components, offering distinct advantages over parts produced through processes such as fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) and resin transfer molding (RTM). Whether you are embarking on a new design or transitioning from an existing process, choosing to vacuum form your components with Hengtuopu Plastics can present an optimal solution for a diverse range of applications and industries.

With over 19+ years of experience in custom high-quality plastic forming OEM/ODM manufacturing services, our company offers a mold development cycle that is 1/8 of injection molding, enabling rapid prototyping and production. The development cost is only 1/10 of the injection molding process, making it a highly cost-effective solution. Benefit from rapid production, no costly molds, and the cost savings of thermoforming.

Main steps of custom thermoforming

1. Providing 3D Drawings or Product Samples
   The customer must first provide detailed product designs, such as 3D drawings or actual samples. This information will serve as the foundation for subsequent production.
2. Consultation and Quotation
   Based on the customer’s requirements, a professional team will provide technical advice and offer a quotation based on factors such as design complexity and quantity, ensuring the customer understands production costs and timelines.
3. Mold Creation
   After finalizing the design, technicians will create high-precision molds according to the customer’s specifications. The quality of the mold directly affects the accuracy and appearance of the final product, making this step crucial.
4. Vacuum Forming Production
   The plastic sheet is heated to a specific temperature and then placed over the mold to form the initial shape. This phase ensures the material evenly conforms to the mold, creating the preliminary shape.
5. CNC Processing
   After vacuum forming, CNC machining is used to refine the product, ensuring precise dimensions and a smooth surface for the final product.
6. Polishing and Deburring
   The finished product undergoes surface polishing to remove any burrs and improve its appearance and feel, ensuring it meets customer expectations.
7. Additional Treatments
   Depending on the customer’s specific needs, post-processing treatments such as bonding, painting, and silk-screen printing are applied to meet various functional and aesthetic requirements.
8. Quality Testing
   After completing all processes, the product undergoes comprehensive functional and quality testing to ensure it meets the defined standards and customer expectations.
9. Packaging and Shipping
   Once all steps are completed, the product is carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport, and timely shipping is arranged to ensure the customer receives it without delay.
