Why Thermoforming? Three Big Reasons

Today, there are a variety of processes used to mold plastics, from injection molding and blow molding to rotational molding and other forms of processing. But one of the best techniques to use is thermoforming.

What makes it better?

  • Lower Cost: For clients looking to save, thermoforming is one of the least expensive ways to shape plastics without sacrificing quality
  • Quick Turnaround: Some clients need a fast turnaround for prototypes, quick restocks or just-in-time inventory practices and, since thermoforming is a fast process, the production can meet tight deadlines.
  • Flexibility: With other techniques, making even just a small change to a design can mean high costs. But with thermoforming, updates and improvements are much less expensive to make.

    Aerospace paint and prep work must hold up under close scrutiny. A part may be formed to spec, trimmed cleanly, and ready for assembly, but the final surface still has to meet the customer’s cosmetic requirements. Gloss, clarity, coating consistency, and edge quality all matter, especially on large thermoformed aerospace parts with visible surfaces, contours,…
