Vacuum Formers & Thermoformers
A thermoformer, also known as a thermal forming machine, is a device that uses heat and pressure to form plastic sheets into specific shapes. Unlike vacuum forming, which relies on vacuum pressure alone to shape the plastic, thermoforming typically involves heating the plastic sheet until it becomes pliable, and then pressing it onto a mold or ...

Thermoforming 101
Thermoforming involves stretching of rubbery solid plastic sheet. When force is applied to any material, it stretches or elongates. The amount that it stretches depends on the amount of force per unit area, or 'stress,' applied to the sheet, the nature of the material and its temperature. Process – Cycle Time.
