Our Capabilities
Our foam thermoforming process capabilities include heat process forming, vacuum forming and twin-sheet thermoforming. Each process provides formed parts with unique characteristics.
Heat Press Forming
Material is pressed by male & female mold via pressure & temperature
- Features: Excellent choice for producing high volume 3D thermoplastic foam, film and non-woven fabric with complex feature requirements
- Materials: Polyethylene Foams, EVA Foams, PVC Foams, PU Foams, Nonwoven Fabrics, TPU Films
Vacuum Forming
Pre-heated material is drawn onto a tool contour via vacuum
- Features: Excellent choice to produce a uniform thin wall of 3D hollow parts of various materials in a short lead time
- Materials: Polyethylene Foams, EVA Foams, PVC Foams, Plastic Films
TwinSheet Forming
Two sheets of material are heated and formed simultaneously or sequentially and then pressed together
- Features: Excellent choice for products that requires 3D hollow foam parts with formed features on both ends without secondary bonding requirement
- Materials: Polyethylene Foams, EVA Foams, PVC Foams, Plastic Films
Applications
Depending on applications, the foam material selected can be thermoformed and shaped to meet the exact requirements.
