Small Size Home Appliance Thermoforming Vacuum Forming For Custom Shape

Small size home appliance plastic thermoforming vacuum forming

Vacuum forming is a simplified version of Thermoforming.

With the forming process, an extruded sheet of plastic is heated until it is brought to a formable temperature. The sheet is then removed from the oven and placed over the mold. Vacuum is then applied and the part takes on the geometry of the tool or mold.

An optional plug assist may be used to help maintain uniform wall thickness and reduce thinning for parts with deep draws. The sheet is then placed into a 5-axis CNC trimming station, where the part is trimmed to its final dimensions. Any necessary holes are also drilled at this stage, completing the product for its final use in the device it was manufactured for.

This technique is used to make a wide variety of plastic parts and can be manufactured into any number of different required shapes for your company’s manufacturing needs.

Some specific parts that Providien specializes in manufacturing include:

• Products for the aerospace industry such as seat backs, tray tables, overhead bins and bezels
• Products for the medical industry such as medical furniture, imaging systems, tissue staining equipment and gene sequencing systems
• Products for the commercial industry such as kiosks, carts, radomes and security/scanning devices

Why Use Vacuum Forming?

Vacuum forming has several potential advantages over other plastic production methods.

Some companies have a need for large parts or parts with multiple uses. Others have a need for products with high levels of gloss or clarity. And some need moderate or large annual volume parts.

Many of these companies turn to Providien for their product needs. We provide cost-efficiency and quick production time. We work to accommodate companies with a tight tooling budget or a need for a rapid product development.

Vacuum formed parts can be a great option when large, cost effective parts are desired. It can achieve high levels of gloss and clarity. These well made parts may be a good option when aesthetic requirements are necessary.
