Info is Instrumental to Successful Parts

One often overlooked but critical step in the production of a successful part is the initial information exchange between thermoformer and customer. During this fact-finding phase, several important aspects of the job should be addressed, including:

  • The expected volume
  • Any stressful environments like chemicals, impact and temperature
  • A part’s relationship with mating parts
  • The material to use for the specific job
