Trimming to Part Perfection

A lot of time goes into designing your component part and selecting just the right plastic material. But there’s one often-overlooked manufacturing step that’s critical to part perfection: trimming.

This crucial process removes all excess plastic after a part is produced, delivering a number of benefits, including:

  • Part consistency
  • Proper functioning
  • Correct fit and placement
  • A finished look, particularly important for visible parts

As you select a manufacturer, don’t forget to consider this crucial part of the process. Be sure to look for a vendor that offers the latest machining for optimal consistency and accuracy for a perfect part—every time.

    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,…

  • Choosing FST-Compliant Plastics for Aircraft Interiors

    Aircraft interior material selection usually starts with compliance, but it does not end there. Buyers still have to choose a plastic that fits the part, holds up in service, supports the required finish, and can be sourced without slowing the job down. For many aircraft interior applications, the review starts with FAR 25.853 plastics. From…

  • Turnkey Paint and Prep for Finished Thermoformed Parts

    Thermoforming rarely marks the end of a manufacturing program. Many parts move from forming to surface preparation, painting, shielding, and final assembly before they are ready for shipment. When those steps happen at different facilities, production timelines stretch and coordination becomes more complicated than it needs to be. Here at Tru-Form Plastics, paint and prep…
