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
  • Design that meets all users of the product

This data is essential in determining the optimal tooling design and material for the best functionality at the lowest cost. When you’re evaluating vendors, be sure to look for one that utilizes a collaborative approach to meet your needs.
